moving along...bits

 Almost everyone is over the sinus ick - which is good, it was getting tiresome mostly because it would gather up while I slept.  Esme is now passing her math class, and we're looking harder at the college choices.  

 I'm working on French, Japanese and spatterings of Lithuanian, Greek, Korean and started a Welsh review.  I finished the Italian section I was in but haven't started the next.  A lot of the names in the little Minetest world  I had been working in lately turned out to be Italian.  I need to study much more about financial planning stuff - the bits we learned last year were a good start.

 Getting things done at work, car doing what it should, budget doing what it should - so far.   I fixed a hose in the yard, and finally got the license plate for the car.   I had a squash out of my garden and finished crocheting that little kitchen rug.  Chopped up a bunch of peppers and tomatoes from someone else's garden - they brought a bag into work for me :)  It was so nice!  I bring eggs often from our chickens because we just don't eat them all.

I was starting to try a to-do app.  I am often somewhere entirely different than the place that I remember I should do something at - and those are the things that too often get forgotten.  So now I've put several of those in the app while I am at work and when I get home, I can start to work through the things without having to try to 'place' the thought because location-based memory is really important to me.  I can sit here and maybe not think of that thing I thought of when I was there - until I am there again!  I can feel the taste of the idea, but can't actually pull it up into solid form.  It's usually with things that are low importance anyway, like throwing something in the washing machine, making rice for the next day's lunch or fixing a hose etc... but I'll try the app and see if it can help with that. 

 

One of the things I had put in the app was to 'make rice maybe' - and I did finally do that tonight, and even made two nice filled onigiri to take to work tomorrow, with red curry paste and seaweed and sesame seeds.  I haven't made them in a while because the kind of rice at the store by my work was different, and I hadn't been to the other store to pick up the kind I normally use.  I had bought the other rice - but I just hadn't gotten myself around to adapting to use it until tonight I had it on the app to look at and say yea... ok, yea.
