Thursday was a little late
Oct. 23rd, 2025 11:22 pmA. was 12 minutes late to class, which is perhaps the first time anyone has bothered to report that she was late. In the same class, dance / PE, she finally quit looking at her feet. On balance, I think we’re all happy. Weird.
I walked with M.
I finally completed the last of my tasks from Tuesday (the layout for the exercise room and a decision about how to handle the cleanout in that room, a solution for the fact that the raised sill in K+C’s rooms were raised a little too high — I’d already come up with a lighting panel that would do cutouts for sinks). I was on reddit for a bit. I stripped, washed and remade two beds (mostly because the bottom sheet was half off A.’s bed and it seemed like it was time). I did daily laundry.
A bunch of stuff has arrived, which is nice — we have eggs again, because Lilac Hedge delivery arrived. I cooked the bok choy from the store (we still have bok choy from the farm box) and used olive oil, orange juice and maple syrup to deal with the bitterness that A. was unhappy about (she doesn’t like balsamic vinegar). The result was excellent.
We had wings and tots for dinner. I added a piece of toast with pb&J. I didn’t even have a salad with it (altho I did have some veg at lunch with the previous batch of wings).
When R. came home from his show, I opened up the Flaviar Advent box and pulled out door #1. First of all, they have themed this thing in the most hilarious way possible. Second, 1928 Bhakta is awesome. I’m very excited to work my way through this.
I’ve managed to slog through a lot more of the day-to-day (and meal to meal) planning for the holiday trip. I don’t feel great about it, because we’re still in the middle of a government shutdown, but we’re still in the zone of probably could cancel / reschedule a lot of things. Once I start buying park tickets, I just don’t really know.
