Yesterday I messed up another attempt at the rolled hem, then gave up and pressed the whole darn thing in a double fold by hand. It worked, mostly. There’s a squirrely bit where the fold caught oddly but it’s on the inside so I’m gonna live with it. Maybe the next one will try a hand-rolled hem.

I finished Lies Sleeping. Not sure how I feel about the ending. The next one chronologically is a novella with a different protagonist, so we’ll see if it settles.

Had lunch with C, and discussed kale, cucumbers, and clay.

At work I finished setting up the server, and set IT to finishing up the infiniband configuration so we can move everything into the Ghc machine room, finally. This ticket has been open since just before winter break, I’m tired and I want it to be over. Spent the rest of the afternoon setting up a slotslot test, bringing the native python implementation back in line, and starting one of the possible approaches to addressing the path/hash collision issue.

P had lunch with M who took the photos for our wedding, at the South Indian place in Carnegie. While in the neighborhood he went to the ceramics supply shop and got some low fire earthenware that might be suitable for oven and stovetop use, some glazes to match, and a knife tool for me. He wound up on campus, and drove us home.

Duolingo Arabic is up! So we both started that. Dinner, crossword, P called his mom, then we finished The Room. There was a moment in the endgame where we feared for some serious misogyny, but they turned it around and now I’m excited to see what they do next with a rogue gifted Victorian woman in the mix. Snack, sleep.

G update: the dietician was in to see him, and they figured out thick liquids are easier for him just now than thin ones, so he had actual dinner for the first time in ages! It went well! Thickened apple juice and coffee-flavored beverage. Hospital food is wild.
