Yesterday I added a pocket to the pale flannel pj pants and cut out another
pair in the dark flannel. I finished Barrayar, which continued excellent
although I am a bit bored by children in jeopardy and love interests being
the only options for driving the women’s stories vs the more complex worlds
of the men. The culture may be restrictive, but that doesn’t mean the
characters have to be.

We took a small adventure in sqhill to fetch coffee and rooibos and
groceries, though the tea place was shut. I forgot it doesn’t open until
noon. I did find a new bar across from cafe 33 that serves Caribbean food
though, so, plus.

The final chair for the living room is missing some critical hardware, so I
sent in a replacement request and dickered with the service agent a bit.
It’s a threaded receptacle that should have been installed in the chair arm
at the factory, not one that’s listed in the assembly instructions with a
part number, so they might have to send us a whole new chair arm. Boo.

I submitted an amazon order for the few non-mint toothpaste and floss
options I was able to find, and threw in some puffed grains for granola.

After lunch we did the big crossword, and then I made sesame candy. The
black sesame seeds have a slightly swampy aroma so we’ll see if it bugs me.

It was gloriously windy. Some friends lost power, and while our
neighborhood lost an insulator it didn’t interrupt service.

Dinner, Monday’s crossword, Heart, sleep. I’ve been a bit fragile after
dinner lately in spite of cutting back on quantity there. Dunno what’s up.
