Nov. 28th, 2018 11:59 amI'm at the point with my DCU mini bang story of wanting just to push it out the door and not fuss with it any longer rather than wait a reasonable length of time for beta comments and tweaking. The amnesty period closes Friday. I emailed a possible beta reader yesterday, and I think I ought to wait more than twelve hours to hear back about whether or not they have time to take a look.
I have a number of chores to deal with today and really don't want to start any of them. The big thing is going to be bagging and labeling things for donation. Otherwise, it's sorting and putting away laundry, dealing with some recycling, washing dishes, sweeping in the bedroom.
I still haven't located that extra fitted sheet. I'm not sure where else I might have put it. I very much doubt that it got up and wandered away, and the house is not large, so I have no idea.
I didn't end up trying to pick out the stitches on Cordelia's old backpack. Cordelia saw it and reminded me that one of the zippers was broken. I looked at that and the stains and the embroidered name and gave up on it.
I went through the cans in our cupboard yesterday after I noticed that the can of peas I'd taken out to make soup Sunday evening was due to expire next month. I found three things 4-8 years expired (chicken noodle soup, chickpeas, and chunk crab meat), ten things expiring this year, and about a dozen expiring some time in 2019. That was approximately half of what we had in the way of canned goods.
None of the cans are dented or bulging, so what's in them is likely still good, but... If we've had them that long, are we actually going to use them? Ever? I suppose I could roast the chickpeas if they look and smell okay after I open them.
That would let me procrastinate on bagging stuff to donate, at least.
I'm going to try to use up the thing that are about to expire. The canned sweet potatoes should be easy enough. I'm not sure what to do with the canned corn. I can't eat it. Scott can't eat it. I doubt Cordelia will.
