Don’t couch-surf in the kiln room

Yesterday I repacked the gifts for my folks so T’s could go to his place in Bellingham. At work I shipped the packages, then spent the rest of the afternoon on restoring W’s webserver, which has been languishing since August. I got the primary wiki up, the course wiki up, and started on a special-purpose one that has a more complex extensions ecosystem. Mom called to confirm our travel plans would let us receive our own packages before we left. I helped a very nice older man locate the office of the professor he had a meeting with, and both of them came round afterwards to thank me again, in a charming old-fashioned kind of way. Home, folded laundry, dinner, crossword, snack, sleep. I finished Split the Party and started Going Rogue. Dreamt of a ceramics studio, and an open house event using slipcast ivy leaves.
