Things about today:
1. Did laundry in the morning(ish), and successfully finished before the afternoon rain.
2. Zoom call with Susan and Cat at 1pm. It is really good to see them, even virtually! :D Also, Susan has okayed telling people, so I am pleased beyond words to announce (to you guys, who don't know her at all *wry*) that she is pregnant, with a due-date in mid-to-late May. BABY!!!
3. In the afternoon I did some kitchen chores, such as A) taking my kitchen compost out to the communal backyard bin, and then bleaching the compost container because wow it smelled rank, and B) chopping up a bunch of homegrown peppers that had been sitting in my fridge for a while because I didn't have the spoons to deal with them. (I then took all the pepper waste out to the compost bin as well.)
4. Listened to the Patreon release of the most recent Enthusigasm episode, which is about professional wrestling.
5. Vacuumed my apartment. UGH. There are not words for how much I dislike vacuuming.
6. Made a packing list for my Thanksgiving trip to and from Chicago.
7. Cooked a Hello Fresh meal for dinner. I believe I have previously mentioned that any uncollected/abandoned meal kit boxes become property of the rental office staff, yes? In this case, I got a full Hello Fresh box, which contained a cheeseburger meal, a chicken and pasta meal, and a pork stir-fry meal. Tonight I made the cheeseburger meal, which includes garlic roasted potato wedges and special sauce (for which I got to quick-pickle some diced onion in white vinegar), though I changed it up a little by adding some pepper to the grilled onions because onions and potatoes alone don't really count as a proper vegetable portion, you know? And I have so much pepper on hand anyway, so why not.
Anyway, it was delicious. I am sure the second burger will be equally delicious tomorrow night. :)
Now I think I shall go fold some laundry.
