We ended up going to the library about 4:30 yesterday. It was a little later than Scott had wanted to go, but Cordelia wanted to come along, too, to pick up her holds herself, and she wanted to finish the last few pages of the book she was reading (not a library book). When we got to the library, we had to park underground because some sort of concert was going on in the surface lot.

We got home and watched The Jungle Book (2016) immediately. It was pretty good, but I kind of wish they’d just left out the songs.

Near the end of the movie, I realized that I’d forgotten to return one book that was due yesterday and couldn’t be renewed, so we had to go out again. We combined that with a trip to Orange Leaf for frozen yogurt. I returned two other items to the library at the same time. Those two have been checked in, but the one due yesterday hasn’t yet. The library’s been open more than an hour now, so I’m a little concerned.

I need to go out today to drop some stuff off at the school. We never did anything with Cordelia’s Brownie sash or Junior vest, so we’re donated them to the Girl Scout troops at her school. She doesn’t want any of the stuff at all, no pins or badges or what-have-you, so I’ve put it all in a big Ziploc. The Girl Scouts have a mailbox at the school, and I already checked with the woman who oversees the troops. She said that they definitely could use the stuff.

I’ve got the dishwasher running. I think the only other must-be-done chore is making sandwiches for Scott and Cordelia. Well, and lunch for me eventually.

Scott keeps trying to sterilize plastic things in the pressure cooker and ending up melting them. I have no idea why he keeps doing that. So far, at least, he hasn't done it with anything that he actually needs and doesn't have an extra of, but... Why?

I ended up wide awake when Scott got up at 5:00 and was only just starting to feel sleepy when Cordelia got up at 6:30. I slept a little bit after she left and even dreamed in spite of it only being about an hour before I got up for the day.

Wouldn't putting the plastic things through the dishwasher pretty much sterilize them?

[the_rck]

I'd think so. My guess is that he doesn't want to use the dishwasher because we run it about twice a week and he'd have to, you know, plan ahead.

I just looked online at baby bottle sterilizers, but those are all the wrong size/shape for what Scott needs.

We brew beer and there are sanitizers that don't require heat that we use to sterilize the brewing equipment and bottles. We use Star-san.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll pass it along.

OMG. I watched Jungle Book yesterday too! That's so weird! I agree, the songs didn't seem to match the tone of the film. But, Disney... I guess they felt like they had to include them. And there WERE lighter moments in the film, for sure. I thought it was pretty dang scary for little kids. They better stick with the old animated version.

Cordelia was a little worried because she'd heard from her friends that there was a jump scare (she was looking away when it happened, purely by chance). She hates those. She really wanted to see it anyway, and she enjoyed it enough to watch some of the extras.
