Feb. 1st, 2016 01:49 pmBoth the pending holds came in yesterday before we went to the library. I got a little antsy about getting there in time because Scott got out of the shower, with forty minutes before closing time, and sat down to argue with someone on Facebook. He’s been arguing with this person for the last couple of days. I have no idea why he’s bothering.
I leveled up in Ingress. I really did just need one trip out of the house to do it. I was fourth level by the time we pulled into the library parking lot.
I have four books I need to finish before Sunday. I rather think I won’t, but three of them can’t be renewed, and the fourth is something I’ve already renewed four times (I started it and liked it quite a bit but keep forgetting it exists).
Cordelia has no school today. She’s been in her room, mostly. I think that three days at home has helped her cold a good bit. She’s not happy, but her throat isn’t hurting any more.
I’m making spinach bean soup right now in hopes that that will help her cold (and mine. I’m about 85% certain I’ve got the dratted thing at this point). The soup doesn’t smell quite right, however, so I’m worried I may have to pitch it. The spinach was kind of freezer burned. Usually, that doesn’t matter for this recipe, but what I’m smelling right now is spinach that’s a little off. I can’t normally smell the spinach when I make this. We may be ordering from Jimmy John’s.
I’m feeling kind of draggingly tired. I slept okay last night, so it’s not lack of sleep. My best guess is that it’s another sign that I’ve got the cold.
Scott got yet another instant coffee brand this weekend, and I tried it this morning. I think I’m going to have to use less than recommended because a packet of stevia and a good bit of almond milk didn’t make it even remotely palatable. I almost couldn’t tell that I’d put anything in at all. I had to force it down which isn’t sustainable. Unfortunately, Scott bought a fairly big jar of the stuff, one that will take weeks for me to get through.
I’ve been doing a very small amount of writing every day recently. I think that, over the weekend, it was not knowing when Cordelia would come out and start reading my screen. Today, it’s that plus being really tired. I think I will try to nap after we have lunch. And after I count slices of bread to see if there’s enough for tomorrow’s lunches or if I have to make more.
And I just realized that I left the soup too long— It’s burned very, very thoroughly. I guess I really do need a nap. I’ve never done that before. Hopefully, I can salvage the pan.
