Yesterday P went to the farmers market and got Bulgarian pastries, peaches, sweet cherries, sour cherries, blueberries, radishes, zucchini, snap peas, parsley, lettuce, and a vegan sourdough raspberry corn muffin. I trimmed P’s hair, then answered some questions for the hackathon. Lunch, crossword, cleaned the Windsor (boiling a dishwasher pod gets rid of an amazing amount of carbon), prepped the blueberries and half the cherries, and threw together some quick team awards. Did the hackathon closing Zoom call with just A and me. What a lovely event! A bit of yield whiplash but that’s normal for any first time. I ate the muffin for snack; one of the better muffins I’ve ever had. Back in the kitchen I added a peach to the fruit mix, macerated with sugar and some orange liqueur, then boiled to a compote while I cleaned up. Mom called in need of a sounding board about D’s memorial, so we talked about that and all the other news from home. The corn is growing tall, the potatoes are enthusiastic, the slugs are running rampant. She wants to get geese, both for that and to protect the yard against the neighbor’s dogs.

Dinner, DS9, snack, sleep. Dreamt of dance shoes, helping M with ESL, cluttered spaces, a new way to do crunches, sci-fi policies and procedures, beverage-based system status indicators, picking people up from the airport.
