the_rckOnce the burnt soup had cooled, I was able to get it out of the pot (hurrah for non-stick pots) almost completely. Soaking took care of the rest. I’m mourning that soup because I’m getting the impression that I’m going to need a lot of protein this week. I didn’t actually wake up yesterday until about half an hour after dinner (which was pretty much all protein). Cordelia and I ended up ordering sandwiches from Jimmy John’s yesterday for lunch, but the protein in the tuna sandwich I got then didn’t seem to help, so I don’t know.
I’ve had a few ounces of cheese this morning in hopes that that will be enough protein to get my brain to operate for long enough to deal with my PT appointment. I’m not going to do anything with the stove (except the kettle which is so loud that I can’t miss it) or the oven for the duration.
I got halfway through two different library books yesterday. With a little effort, I should be able to finish both. That will leave me with two books that I want to finish before Sunday.
I’ve pulled about twenty books off my bedroom shelves with the intention of getting rid of them. I need somewhere to put them that’s out of the way and okay for them to sit for quite a long time. I think I’m going to want to weed our bookshelves more generally and then get rid of everything all at once, but that requires a specific place to put the dratted things. If I could empty the box of stuff to shelve, I could use that.
I’m also debating whether or not Books by Chance would consider certain books romances. I’ve got a bunch of oldish Yasmine Galenorn urban fantasy, and while I would not call it romance, someone else might disagree. Of course, the resale value for those is likely to be less than trivial. I expect the resale value on 95% of what I want to get rid of will be that way.
I used about half as much instant coffee this morning as the amount of water I was adding calls for. The taste was considerably more tolerable. I can’t say that it was actually good, but I didn’t have to fight nearly so hard to drink it as I did yesterday’s.
I’m trying to decide if I need to do something with Cordelia in terms of how she prepares for tests. She usually does very well, but she got a 76 out of 100 on last week’s social studies test. She thinks this isn’t important, but usually she gets between 90 and 100 on such tests. I don’t know if it’s that the test was particularly hard or if it’s that she didn’t prepare properly. If it’s the latter, we need to do some work. She’s going to have more tests as she goes along. I think I’m going to email the teacher and ask her opinion. I’m more concerned by the sudden drop than by the score itself.
