Jan. 19th, 2019 01:01 pmCordelia's cold has gotten worse, so I'm glad she'll have the three day weekend to sleep and recover.
Scott and I did the shopping last night because Scott was worried about the weather forecast. I'm not sure how much snow we got overnight, but we need to go out today or tomorrow anyway to pick up Cordelia's new glasses. She needs them, and I'd like to have mine back.
Scott wants us both to do the shopping from here on out. I'm not sure it will happen, but I understand why he wants it. We can't go out to dinner together unless I have pancakes which seriously limits our options as to where to go. Also, Cordelia usually wants to go with us. I can't handle plays, movies, concerts, etc. Physically active undertakings carry rather vast risks for my joints. Maybe we can start short walks again when the weather's better. I don't want to walk without light because ice on the sidewalks has given me some nasty falls.
I wrote about 200 words yesterday but am running into problems with making the POV character coherent. I need to write the second section from this POV instead of the one I used at first, but I think I'm starting at the wrong point. Possibly I need to handwave some time in order to jump over the tedious bits.
I figured out a way to make that old bean salad from the downstairs freezer edible. The problem was that the beans had absorbed too much vinegar while frozen. To address it, I made rice, drained the bean salad, and then mixed the beans into the rice. I wasn't 100% sure it would work, but the results are actually fairly tasty. I think the dish will have to be a breakfast or lunch food because it's still very acidic (I needed ice cream last night to deal with reflux. That hasn't happened in weeks or even months).
Today, I need to watch the last 15 minutes of a DVD I have to return to the library tomorrow. I've got a couple of books that are due tomorrow that can't be renewed, but I'm not sure I care about them enough to push. I'll just feel silly renewing a season set of DVDs for 15 minutes (or returning it without watching the last bit).
