Long day full of not a lot. Didn’t have class this morning, so I got to sleep in and make Lewis a tasty weekend-like breakfast with some of the tasty hot sauce he made yesterday. I did manage to mow the lawn today, which was a really nice excuse to hang out in the decent weather and sunshine. Did a little weeding even, and spend a while gazing lovingly at the waxwing flock in our tree. I need to spend more time outdoors that doesn’t involve moving from one location to another. I’ll be happy when it’s toasty enough for long enough to read on the lawn again. It’s been so damp this winter! You know, for Davis.
Did manage a few accomplishments today. Bought my tickets to San Diego for my grandparents’ joint 80th birthday party in April, so that ought to alleviate some parental worry. Also turned in my neuroimaging quiz, which went slightly crappier than I could have hoped. I’m definitely a little out of my league, so getting a decent grade I’ll consider a triumph. I really have no idea what I’m going to get as a final grade in that class – as far as I can tell, it’s going to be entirely dependent on 3 quizes, the second of which I just finished today. Got an A on the first one, and I’m feeling B on this one… so hopefully I can nail the last one as scrape by with an A- or such in this class. Phew.
I also baked a loaf of bread! I haven’t made this recipe for potato bread for a few years, so it was a nice one to come back to. The potato in it always makes it turn out nice a moist and smooshy, which is great. I did forget to put the butter in, but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference. All in all, pretty great. After all that, I was pretty pooped today, so I sort of slugged around and ended up needing to go out for dinner, despite having lots of food here. I was just too knackered to cook, and was feeling really ready to get out of the house anyway. So Lewis and I had a great sushi dinner, and I was feeling much more relaxed and put together by the time I got back home. Though we did reneg on a pictionary party with the philosophy grad students. We’ve got a party to go to tomorrow, so I’m not feeling too bad… but we are so terribly unsocial some times!
