zesty_pintoThis one I began writing on a Sunday night ready to revolve into Monday morning.
Michelle spent Sunday gagging on each pill she swallowed. The sound reminded me of vomiting, and each time I had to make sure she wasn't puking up. Apparently, her dirt tubes haven't been good at moving old product so that's been a concern these days and I wonder if this has added to her fixation to push laxative these days. I can't really blame her: it took two-three days for it to start really showing an effect and when it kicked in, she left the bathroom three pounds lighter. I wish I was joking.
Garden structure has been bolstered more. Beans that I have planted have sprouted and 80% of them have breached the surface to make the climb skyward.
I bought a manual rototiller-like thing: imagine a rake festooned with several spiked wheels that are designed to stab and move each 5-star blade in tandem with it, like some sort of thing you'd expect to mulch zombies with. That's what I was using this Sunday, along with planting a few more seeds and checking on the tomatoes and peppers (so far, tomatoes have some discoloration from the endless rain but are still growing, not sure if the ghost pepper is going to survive the bad luck of being left in mid-40s for the last week or so between endless rain). I threw a handful of watercress seeds to a recently tilled field (all while I cackled as my tiller tenderized the earth) and I'll see where that takes me. There's something also burrowing in the fields, but thankfully nobody here does tubers anyway and I guess they're not fans of beans, so...
On Saturday, Michelle saw a TV on clearance and her instinct to save money was in deep conflict wit her desire for a really good deal on a better integrating device to our modernized household. It's 40" and a Samsung vs the Changhong we got for Black Friday two-three years back. I gave the consent and after assembling it, it seems to have actually found a place in our living room much more competently than the Changhong, which now rests in the bedroom. There's even a space between the TV's lifting panels and the soundbar that fits the Switch dock. You'd almost think we customized all the parts just to make this possible.
Fried rice was made. I'm going to add grains to my lunch routine now because I think the salad isn't doing enough. Quinoa and lentils are in the rice cooker for this week and I'll see how far I can take this and sous vided some chicken as well.
I'm also taking a break from dandelion. There's just too much per bundle at the store and most of it had a wilt to it. I hate wasting food, so I gave up on it and it'll just be arugula and mustard greens for this week.
Installed the A/C, including a mounting bracket that doesn't involve screws, just latching onto the sill and directed force to keep things in place. Held the A/C well so far and using it to cool the room has proven successful. The portable A/C can find another place in the living room if we need it, and hopefully we won't. Using dual window fans in the meantime so we have a much stronger air circulation in the house. I celebrated by searing burgers.
I think I'm ready for the work week. Now if only my boss from the second job got back to me on supplies...
