Yesterday I broke open the new oats, and they are delicious. There are still two more kinds to try from this farm but once we know our favorite I’ll just order ten pounds at a time and we’ll be good.

I cleaned out the mouse drawer, which was made easier by removing the nasty old contact paper in the bottom. I figured it would be good to replace it for if something like this ever happens again, but we don’t have any contact paper. Instead, I cut a liner from a scrap of sateen in the rag bag, soaked it in a cooked starch solution, stuck it in place, and used a heat gun to quick-dry it. I washed all the hot pads we intend to keep in a hot load with bleach, and am calling it good.

I put some time into writing up recipes from this year and a few other updates for some kind of letter/zine thing.

We did the crossword after lunch, I watched some SG-1, I made some progress on A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor. Dinner was a touch late and I’m trying to move my schedule back up, so no snack, just sleep. Dreamt of pandemic something but the details have faded.

Yesterday we ran out of oatmeal, so I made grits for breakfast. I did a bunch of research on screw thread pitch gauges and ordered a set, as well as some other tools I’ve been missing (a steel bench block, a scribe, a more-different pin vise). I went to clear out the oven mitt drawer to make room for the new ones, and discovered some old mouse droppings 😕 and put off dealing with that for the rest of the day. P discovered the iPad is still under warranty, and arranged to ship it back to fix the dead row of pixels. I shipped the gifts to my folks. The new oats arrived. A lovely card from C&R arrived. I’ve started thinking about an abbreviated New Years zine. P did the errands; Dylamato’s is shut until the new year so he went to the coop and got carrots, peppers, mushrooms, vegan butter, gf flour, half and half, a soft-ripened cheese, mozzarella, fresh pasta, pizza sauce, green onions, poblanos, string cheese, bok choy, a nice baguette, and some other sundries. It is always rough when he has to go to a larger store for things; there’s always folks who don’t believe in social distancing. We submitted the vegetable order for Thursday. I cut out two more dish towels and started hemming over SG-1. Dinner, no scrabble, SG-1, snack, sleep. Dreamt of a community effort to develop ocean-friendly soap recipes.
