Yesterday mom called to deliver the final news on grandma. There will be not a funeral, a service, or a memorial, but a party at the end of next summer.

With the rest of the day, I submitted orders for soap, luffa sponges, and oatmeal and polenta. I cleaned the upstairs kitchen and did all the dishes. After lunch I put in the laundry, then we did the crossword and I hung the laundry out on the line. Snack, then I opened packages from last week, one from a wicca supply place and one from a tooling supply place.

The first had some ingredients for incense, including makko powder and mugwort. I ground some up with a couple frankincense tears (very sticky; I’ll try freezing it next time), added water, kneaded smooth, then rolled a long thin rope. My ultimate goal is to break it into little bits that burn completely in 1-3 minutes, which is the opposite of everyone asking advice on the internet. Mugwort is new to me, but I like it in its raw dried form. If it burns as beautifully, I should look into growing it.

The tooling package contained new tiny drill bits, this time with a constant-size shank so they’ll be easier to get straight in the chuck. Unfortunately they’re too large for the pin vise I have, and I wasn’t in the mood for the dremel, so I picked the basswood prototype pieces back up and trimmed the last one down to the line with a fresh razor blade. By then it was time for dinner, then P took in the laundry while I did dishes. Laundry fold, finished 1993 Tales of the City (wat), started Crashing but it’s so full of people not talking to each other I probably won’t finish it. Did some mending on Monster, snack, sleep.
