Yesterday I broke open the new oats, and they are delicious. There are still two more kinds to try from this farm but once we know our favorite I’ll just order ten pounds at a time and we’ll be good.

I cleaned out the mouse drawer, which was made easier by removing the nasty old contact paper in the bottom. I figured it would be good to replace it for if something like this ever happens again, but we don’t have any contact paper. Instead, I cut a liner from a scrap of sateen in the rag bag, soaked it in a cooked starch solution, stuck it in place, and used a heat gun to quick-dry it. I washed all the hot pads we intend to keep in a hot load with bleach, and am calling it good.

I put some time into writing up recipes from this year and a few other updates for some kind of letter/zine thing.

We did the crossword after lunch, I watched some SG-1, I made some progress on A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor. Dinner was a touch late and I’m trying to move my schedule back up, so no snack, just sleep. Dreamt of pandemic something but the details have faded.
