Weekend update
Jun. 1st, 2003 07:32 pmBad: dozing off at 4, thinking "it hasn't stopped raining yet, there's no way we're playing softball today" only to wake up at 5:30 and discover that it did stop raining. Hopefully they didn't actually try to have the game, because the field must have been a swamp after the past two days.
Good: actually managing to nap. Waking up and making cornbread from new-to-me bread cookbook picked up at Harvard Bookstore on Friday evening. Then throwing together some chicken soup with escarole and turkey meatballs from a back issue of Bon Appetit.
Bad: torrential downpours right after we finished staining new nightstands. Having to leave dried but not-aired-out nightstands in the kitchen overnight despite unpleasant fumes. Not being able to finish the tops with varnish yet.
Good: New furniture, and the staining turned out really well. Also, getting to sleep diagonally last night (and read in bed at an uncivilized hour) because the gf couldn't take the fumes anymore and escaped to the less malodorous spare room.
Bad: The book I chose to read in bed was a mystery novel in which the victim dies in a manner that squeamish people like me don't need to contemplate right before falling asleep.
Good: Said book (Ngaio Marsh's Death of a Peer is otherwise quite entertaining. And she was fairly prolific, so there are more. Maybe someone on my friends list will tell me which ones are good.
