Yesterday I washed the test fabrics and hung them out on the line, did the
laundry and same. At least two are a touch off-grain. P taught a tools
workshop at the teaching garden. I picked a dehydrator-full of oregano and
set it to dry, though it seems pretty weak so we’ll see if it’s worth
keeping. I trued the ends of the two good fabrics in the package and set
them aside to wash another day. I worked two rows on the crochet edging
prototype. Set some blackeyed peas to soak. Crossword after lunch, Flash
after dinner. Finished Magic For Liars, which had an excellent climax and a
great twist that had almost nothing to do with the guilty foreshadowing of
the title, introduction, or even the wrap-up. They would have been better
off as two different books.

News on G: last time he talked to P, he apparently hadn’t been told yet
about the mass on his pancreas. Well, he knows now. The word on what’s next
has improved somewhat; they can do the biopsy in as little as 7 days,
though they still have to wait 3 months to do anything about it. Still will
be good to have more information sooner. M is there and going home today or
tomorrow; P will fly out Wednesday to stay for a week. M has been taking
care of everyday ephemera so D doesn’t have to. The Subaru has been checked
out and is fine. The house is stocked with good healthy food.

Yesterday I cut out all the fabric for P’s pants. Memory continues well,
though the lack of self-awareness is a bit heavy handed. At work I got a
stripped-down test of the teaching system to run, and had a meeting with my
boss. He’s probably going to be stuck as interim dean until August now,
depending on the schedule of whoever they hire. Alas. P went to an event at
the teaching garden, so I had the house to myself for dinner. I finished QE
and started s3 of One Step At A Time. It’s a shame it got cancelled, though
I really would prefer something less driven by a laugh track. P got home,
we did the crossword, C got in, we got him settled and chatted a bit,
snack, bed.
