We ended up solving last night's dinner dilemma by having Scott pick up KFC on the way home. It wasn't ideal since it was nearly 8:00 by the time we ate, but it was a lot better than fighting with Cordelia over what to eat. I had reached the point with that where I was just going to have her make herself some ramen and heat up some frozen green beans. I have no idea what I would have eaten. A bag of potstickers can easily feed five or six, and it wouldn't make sense to cook all of them just for me (I'm not sure how well storing an opened partial bag in the freezer would be. We've never tried it. It might work).

Scott will be working late next Monday and Thursday. The current plan is for him to cook like crazy this weekend so that we have plenty of leftovers for the week. I hope it works. I also probably could handle one of those frozen meals that goes in the oven forever, but I'm not sure Cordelia likes any of the ones we've tried. There's a vegetarian white lasagna that Scott and I really enjoyed, but, although Cordelia tried it (she will try just about anything), she didn't like it at all.

I've been poking at fail_fandomanon a bit. It's an incredible time sink. I think I'll have to be careful only to stop in occasionally and to choose which threads to read very, very carefully. I have other things I want to do, and I don't want to look up at the end of this weekend and find that I've still done no writing. I did find one sub-thread complaining about the SJW tendencies of what metanews links to. I managed not to say anything, but I really wanted to tell them that, if they don't like what the newsletter is linking to, they should volunteer or, at the very least, suggest links to blogs they think we should be following. There's only so much two people can do. Besides, I think the stuff they were complaining about as SJW crap is interesting to read.

It was so warm in our house when we went to bed last night that I asked Scott to turn on the ceiling fan. That helped considerably, but Scott thinks it created problems with water condensation in the hose of his bi-PAP. He had to get up around 5:00 to empty the hose and ended up knocking the entire bi-PAP off his bedside table. I'm not sure of the best solution to this. I've been feeling really warm at night for months now, and warmer weather is just going to make that miserable.

I'm trying to decide if I should risk showering again this weekend or simply take a bath which should be less stress for my foot and ankle. A shower might well be worth the risk of increased pain the next day. I don't know, though. I think I'm not remembering Thursday's pain clearly (though, as I recall, it eased off a lot once I got the boot on).

Scott's sister is coming to town to see her 'doctor' on Tuesday. She offered to pick me up on her way to her appointment and drop me off at Barnes & Noble, but I had to say no. I don't think I could handle walking around the store for fifteen minutes, let alone the hour I'd likely be there. It's a pity because I enjoy bookstores and haven't been to one for months. She's also invited me to join her and a friend of hers for lunch, and I said yes to that. I'll enjoy getting out of the house. It's been weeks.

I routinely store opened partial bags of things in the freezer - it works very well for dumplings. I usually use a rubber and or clip to keep the package closed.

We do store partial bags of frozen vegetables in the freezer by putting the opened bags in ziplocs. I'm just not sure that a bag of potstickers, minus one serving, would fit in any of our bags. Those bags of potstickers are quite large.
