 I have a burning question (that came to me while putting my socks on), so I made a poll.

Feel free to wax poetically about the topic in the comments. What about your characters? Sonny Crockett famously does not wear them. Rico does, but to tell you the truth, I haven't paid them much attention (I'll have to fix that).

Poll #33968 Sock Habits
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 9


Do you have left and right socks?

Things I did not need

1. To find out my insurance changed coverage and I owed money on a script (not much, just enough to be annoying AF)

2. That CVS doesn't have my insulin. Again. I know why. They have a fucking dorm fridge to store all insulins, GPL1s and vaccine (plus other meds surely that I don't know but need refrigerated)

3. taking a half hour to get thru the CVS line and the line to the car wash was even longer so I had to skip it (I had a thing I had to get to) which sucks because I was on the ground floor of the parking garage yesterday and the level above me is outside and they salted it and it dripped everywhere.

4. There was an 18 wheeler on its side and I was thinking that is going to take me forever to get home but they did something I've never seen before. About 5 miles north of the accident they put up 'accident head' signs and moved everyone over there and there was no back up.

5. My olive oil brined garlic leaked in the pantry bin. I was digging through to find the food part of my parents' holiday gift and it didn't just leak, it coated everything in at least an inch of oil. It took over an hour to clean off every can and bottle and toss out things in boxes. Ugh. Ruined my clothes in the process.


6. My vascular surgeon never called in my meds.


At least I got the car partially packed. I still have to clean the kitchen in the morning since the damn pantry issue took up too much time.


Still half ready to cry. But I had my writers zoom thingie and I'm 4K into a story.

What I Just Finished Reading:

Death at the Door - paranormal mystery wanted to bitch slap the protagonist


What I am Currently Reading:


To Die Once - a Maisie Dobbs mystery which I haven't read one of these in a while and this is...slow. It's way more about the effect of war on the English people (who were still recovering from WWI) than it's a mystery


Tell Tale Treat - another paranormal mystery with another protagonist ripe for being bitch slapped

No writing, alas, but tomorrow I have a writing session with my beta reader, so hopefully that'll get me going again. How about you?

Bonus farm news: Housemate made parmesan cheese (well, it will be after a year's storage) which gave us 20 liters of whey as a byproduct, which I am now boiling down to Scandinavian whey "cheese". It's brown and sweet from the caramelized sugar of the whey, and not actually cheese. (Note: we do not have cows. We bought the milk from a farmer's market.)

Podcast script ready!

Phew! I didn't have enough songs for the next episode of my podcast, but yesterday, one of the musicians who I've played many times on the show put out a Christmas album. I found a song that worked with the show I've been putting together and sent him a message. I also took a song that doesn't require permission and another that I got permission for last year and added them to the two songs I had permission for. Today, I wrote up the script (faster than usual). Hopefully, I'll manage to record it tomorrow.

I also finished carving the top of a little wooden container that I've been carving for a friend of mine. One trick is to wear gardening gloves, so that you don't have to stop working on it because you are getting blood all over everything. It is _very_ rough looking, but I'm hoping that some sanding tomorrow will make it a bit better. Also, I just don't imagine that I'm going to get all that much better with it, so this is what we've got.

Oops, I had the draft of this post open yesterday evening, but forgot to post it! How did your writing go? I, um, opened my document and looked at it, but there was no writing. Unless I count the course plans I worked on for my job, which I will not.

Bonus farm news: Housemate is sawing up a section of a large oak trunk that we got when the neighbors had a tree cut down. Among other things, he plans to make a large oak table for the living room out of two of the (very wide and heavy!) planks. Which will now need drying for two years before said table can be made, but I think it will be gorgeous.
