My schedule was wrong though

Yesterday I monitored the staging run of the BIGINT fix, and wrote a thing to fetch the past versions of the output CSV files from last week and diff them all into issues. On breaks and while waiting for stuff to download I made another batch of lentils and wild rice (finally not overcooked! Ten minutes boiling plus five minutes heat off lid on), put postage on all the zines, printed two extra copies and two extra labels for folks whose addresses came in late, unpacked packages from last week (10# scotch oats, 3# popping corn, stamps, a New Years card from J), and watched some SG-1.

Dinner, crossword, SG-1, snack, sleep. Dreamt of taking grad classes in programming language design, knitted sweater patterns, and an advanced math class about Dvorák. The latter two turned out to be private lessons taught by a merged version of D and Z, though whoever it was had far too tidy an office to be either of them. I was extremely late for math.

Paper weight numbering is a mess

Yesterday I read the USPS standard for how to mail booklets, and it turns out I needed heavier paper for the covers, so I unstapled them all and added a layer of card stock. I ordered more almond butter and nutritional yeast, and threw in some mushroom powder and msg for kicks. P did the laundry, cleaned out a substantial part of the laundry room, and installed the wall-mounted accordion drying rack we’ve had kicking around for years. It is glorious and the laundry room is a much more pleasant place to be. I started reading The Palace of Lost Memories by CJ Archer, which is a pre-industrial fantasy that doesn’t know their world has magic yet. Feminist author, semi-misogynist world (& the “semi” part is a fun twist), very enjoyable so far.

Crossword after lunch, scrabble after dinner, SG-1, snack, sleep. Got in a quick workout while dinner was cooking and slept like a rock.
