Not much time to write today as I must leave for the bus @ 7:15. And get breakfast together if not eaten before then. But buns are fed and I am dressed and otherwise ready to go. I will go to the gym and should be done well before lecture so I can get organized for what else has to get done today. Mostly I must gather all the stuff for next week’s 145 labs, and get my brain ready for 200 lab tomorrow. Which will be early – 9 am. I must drive one of these days so I can get to Brookfield to pick up my share, maybe I will drive tomorrow.
                Yesterday in some ways was very productive, mostly in getting a lot of fair stuff done, but somehow at the end of it it did not feel at all that way. Instead I felt discouraged bc as ever the house was a trashed mess and as ever there is still more left undone. Well I guess I will keep plugging at it. And then 2 not so great things: I broke a tooth, and our drier is dead. The repairman came to look at the drier and ended by recommending we replace it for safety reasons. And I did manage to get into the dentist (she was nice enough to see me at the end of the day – 6:30 and she says she can just put a filling in and it should be fine. So at least that is good. And I will do that early next Tues). And now we need to research driers and deal with all that. Which will take who knows how long and meanwhile we use the rack which takes up the whole living room. Still, that is ok, in fact it is good and I prefer it in many ways. I suggested our housemate do that too, just for now until we get another.
                I made a potato/turnip/rutabaga soup yesterday, but I tried something different. I roasted the vegs along with onions first, then I used them in soup. The only mistake was to add them to milk (with the left over fish) and heat that. The milk kind of caramelized a bit. I should have added the vegs to stock, then added milk at the end. Still, I think it is pretty good. And tonight will just be leftovers for supper. I have some rabbit thawing, so perhaps tomorrow I will cook that up. Maybe I’ll be able to come home kind of early for that.
                Wow I am getting hot here by the stove. It is 30 degrees outside, downright tropical.
                Oh, I forgot one good thing I did yesterday – I actually managed to get out and ski before the furnace guy came. The snow was not the best, but it was still a good thing to do. Well, now it is all slushing away. I wonder if we’ll get more?
