Weird alarming dreams about finance
Dec. 18th, 2018 07:23 amYesterday G helped me fix one of the points on a knitting needle that had
worked itself loose on Sunday. It was a bit tricky since the body of the
needle is carbon fiber and the tip is nickel, and they’re size 0s so
nothing would fit inside the empty tip to help clean it out. I did sand the
stub end with something called crocus cloth, which was pretty neat. We used
JB Weld for the actual gluing. It should be fully set later today.
For lunch we all attempted to go to the Japanese place for okonomiyaki, but
it turns out to have been a weekends-only thing, and the ramen bar was
shut. Instead, we went next door to Flora, a vegan/sustainable fauna
establishment. They were willing to do up a custom sauce for the fried rice
for me, which was good, but then I had a series of panic attacks about the
effing cauliflower (one of the California places that caused the romaine
recalls just recalled cauliflower, but there’s no reason to expect the
cauliflower on my plate was affected) exacerbated by the heavy hand with
the salt employed by the chef. Everything was a bit too salty. Aside from
that though, D enjoyed her standard fried rice, P and G enjoyed the falafel
though it was somewhat damp, and the dessert list looked enticing, so we
may go back next visit for dessert. Excellent atmosphere.
I spent the rest of the afternoon pretty fragile, though I did go with P to
Whole Foods for semolina (for ma’amoul) and coconut (for date bites I
planned to take on the plane). P sat with me for a bit while his folks took
a walk in the sun, which was nice, then escaped to the library for work
once they got back. I started reading the next available Cadfael novel,
which is book four in the series. Still loses control over sentence length
more often than not, but I can relate, and it’s still engaging.
I let D and G handle dinner, and had sweet potato, squash, and green beans
with more caution than ill effect.
After dinner P made the dough for the cookies and I played a nice strategy
game on my phone called Sevn. We all played Scrabble (board score 537) and
then I went to bed.
