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.

Yesterday I sewed the zipper to the seam allowances, top-stitched the short side, and pressed the lap side. I might try a triple stitch on the lap to simulate thicker topstitching thread.

I finished Kings of the North, and my headphones gave up. Well, they were the cheap ones from the CMU bookstore, so I guess it figures. I ordered three pairs of the Sony ones that fit my ears that CMU no longer stocks for unknown reasons. I started the next book, Echoes of Betrayal. I’m liking my new audiobook purveyor, Chirp. Reasonable prices, decent player, not Amazon.

At work I read through an early draft of M’s masters thesis proposal and wrote up comments. I finished fixing the ifthen serialization bug, fixed a session IDs bug in the web console, and got all tests to pass, so made a commit. Something in the REST controller is still broken though, since the same scenario breaks in the web console. Boo.

Home, finished the cloud embroidery and started laying out an abstract triangle sampler. Dinner, trash, crossword, Elementary, snack, sleep.
