Good Day Here Comes the Sunshine

Sweet morning playtime. Leftovers for breakfast. Datetime with Bjorn. Two games of Race for the Galaxy, one win for me (with an Alien tableau, one of my favorite ways to win Race). An anxiously-awaited library hold in hand. Leftovers for lunch. Three long-undone chores completed.

Wahhh ha ha

I spent much of yesterday crying. Part of the crying was crying about how much I was crying.
   I said (for some broad, blubbery definition of said) "I'm just cr-cr-cr-cr-cry-hing all d-d-aaaay todaaay!"
   Bjorn said "It's a day for crying. It's Saturday. 'Saturday' means 'crying day'. It's from middle Swedish. Sat-around-and-cried–day got shortened to Saturday."

I laughed. For some blubbery definition of laughed.

One door-bell Ding later

We now have two fire extinguishers with agents that extinguish fires of classes A, B, and C. Honestly I didn't know (three days ago, an hour before finalizing my extinguisher order) that there are different extinguishing agents for different fire classes. I didn't even properly know that there are fire classes. I mean, I knew that there's a sciencey art to fires; I knew there are specialists who determine how arsonists light fires and whatnot. I also knew that one should check one's extinguishers periodically to see if they are still good. What I didn't know was that I could naively have bought a limited-use extinguisher that would put out a fire kindled by a napkin but not put on a fire fed by gas. But don't worry, I didn't buy any such thing. I bought two non-dinky fire extinguishers.
   It seems odd that by law you have to have fire detectors in your house when you sell it, but not fire extinguishers.

artifulchoke

I found out what to do with my "baby" artichokes! (The artichokes we received in our CSA were very small. I thought they were just harvested small, but no. It's like how really short adults aren't children.)
   I cut them up with this as my guide, and I then sauteed them in white wine vinegar, salt, and ghee. They were quite tasty! I want more of them!

In other news, I actually went to church with Jobabhatron today because the issue from the pulpit was based around Emily Dickinson. I really, really, really love Emily Dickinson.

Wintry Day Summary

Today I woke (11am), then I juiced (celery, beet, carrot, apple), then I bundled (-1ºC) and walked (1.5 mi) to my phototx (255 mJ).
   I walked home (1.5 mi) with a stop in at the local apothecary to buy bentonite clay and kelp powder. I add these, in rotation, to my nightly baths.
