Yesterday we did the taxes. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching Atlantis and hemming dish towels, which was lovely. We did the crossword after lunch, and scrabble after dinner (669, one bingo). Dreamt of hyper-pop and some kind of basketball-based performance art.

Over the weekend I made another batch of nut and seed bars, deep-cleaned the stovetop, voted, roasted turnips, squash, carrots, and apples, finished the elastic on the mask prototype and started a second draft with an extra layer, and cleaned up the garden somewhat. P was on duty for the market and mailed my ballot, and also handled the laundry, since it was too rainy for the clothesline.
Everything for work is on fire this morning, so that will have to do.
Yesterday I did a second pass over the under carriage of the White, then started cleaning disassembled parts. I may need to break out the buffer wheel on the dremel to polish up some of the bobbin/shuttle area. I definitely need to start setting timers when I sit down at the bench, because I’ve been losing track and throwing off my eating schedule.
After lunch we did the taxes and the census (ugh aggressively gender and sexuality binary, prepare yourself).
Watching videos about how to rewire and recondition electric motors, reading articles on how to set the timing on vintage machines (since I’m pretty sure I pulled all the operative bits off the needle bar, whoops), and a fun community of treadle and hand-crank machine enthusiasts who are still using the internet like it’s 1995, going strong and no sign of stopping.
Late dinner, DS9, no snack, sleep. Dreamt of napping with cats, a board game based on building up complicated hairstyles, a husky colony in symbiosis with a set of beehives, and alternate-universe highly-flammable honey.
Yesterday I did my ballot research and voted. At work I started annotating the Inform7 code. I went to therapy and talked about my birthday and family health. I had a meeting with M and covered the inner workings of pytheo, and sketched out a plan for a LIA contribution relevant to his thesis project. I went to our lab meeting and heard G demo his poster for NeurIPS; it was excellent. Some visual tweaks but he’s got plenty of time before the conference. P had the car on campus so drove us home. Dinner, crossword, Elementary, snack, assembled ingredients for another batch of nut and seed bars, sleep. Vivid dreams of matches, parks, and recreational sod aeration.
