Jan 13 - Fixed my computer chair! Replaced the chair lift cylinder; took me a bit longer than expected, but wasn't too bad of a task. It's now both a higher class cylinder (to bear more weight without problem) and a higher seat (because I specifically looked for one that'd give me a few more inches of chair height).

Made mild Italian sausages, mashed potatoes with rosemary and fried onion, and steamed mixed veg for supper.

Jan 14 - Did a little sorting and putting away of stuff.

Made pasta with meat sauce for supper.

Jan 15 - Defrosted the freezer. Nice to once again have a recent idea of just what-all meats are buried in it, and to have them mostly sorted by kind to general locations within the chest freezer.

Just me for supper, so I had chicken fingers and french fries.

I hope you all get your molasses fix today. Mine was I. The form of gingersnap cookies.

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

Vote based on your local government's regulations/recommendations. For example, if your tap water meets the legal requirements for safe drinking water but tastes funny so you filter it before drinking, you would select option 4: "It is SAFE, but it tastes/smells/looks off; I DON'T drink it as-is."

Examples of an off taste could include tasting like metal or chlorine; an off look could include visible particulates or a yellow tint.

Mistigram: hats off, everyone! Or should I say: hats ON! AdeptApril's #ANSIart calendar of holidays for Storm BBS tipped us off to the fact that today is the observance of National Hat Day, so get yourself to a haberdasher posthaste!

OFFICIALLY TWENTY-ONE

The summer night glowed; in the field fireflies were glinting. And for those who understood such things, the stars were sending messages.

Between my usual procrastination, plus a couple of medical appointments, medication change reaction (hello mild nausea my old friend) and PMSing I am getting ridiculously far behind on my Thing A Day posts yet again. But I still actually want to continue making them, so once again it's time to grit my teeth, sit at my computer, and catch up. On about a week and a half of missed posting. *Headdesks*

Since I've been keeping a food diary for a while now to keep a closer watch on what I'm actually putting in my mouth (initially still too many carbs, not enough veg/fruit, and apparently not enough things that contain iron, thanks for the anemia) I can at least reconstruct what my meals of this period were. I still prefer the thing a day posts when I need to look up stuff like 'when was the last time I served or did ___' because I can just skim down the '/tagged/Thing A Day' of them instead of having to open and close individual per day records.

There's a few of the more recent days where I have some memory of doing stuff more than "probably gaming and some crochet". Said gaming till being mostly House Flipper, though I'm starting to get bored with it.

So. Argh. Catch up now or give up on it... I choose catch up now.

Jan 9 - Toad-in-the-hole, salad.

Jan 10 - Started a second scarf using a different yarn, because the Red Heart 'Buff Fleck' I've been using for the scarf I've been working on recently apparently has what's probably undisclosed wool content (4% other fibres) and it's not only making my nose run but also making my fingers hurt. I still want to finish that scarf, it's working up nicely, but I need to take breaks from working on it until my fingers stop feeling like they've been stabbed full of super fine needles.

Dilly ground beef with sour cream, egg noodles, green peas.

Jan 11 -Ribs and kraut, steamed mixed veg, boiled potatoes.

Jan 12 - Shepherd's pie. Think I probably last did laundry around this date.

Jan 13 - Fish sticks, french fries, salad.

Jan 14 - Partially cleaned the upstairs washroom.

Made a vat of soup (based on ground beef, chick peas, tomatoes, and the bag for leftover veggies I keep in the freezer).

Jan 15 - Saw the Nurse Practitioner for 3 month review, she's happy with my blood sugar etc. Did tweak my blood pressure medication. I'm good for another 3 months, yay. Divided up and froze the leftover soup.

Tortiere, sour cream & fried onion mashed potatoes, steamed mixed veg.

Jan 16 - Chili and rice, salad.

Jan 17 - Second medical appointment, to see the chiropodist and get orthotics put in my shoes. Supposed to phase in how long I wear them for over the next little while.

Feeling mildly nauseous, suspect it's the medication change (unless it was the A&W I had for lunch while in town). Nuked pea soup from the freezer for my brother to have when he got home and then went and napped for a couple hours until I felt better before eating.

Jan 18 - Still feeling a bit off and low appetite, but managed to make saffron risotto for supper, with ground beef for the meat and peas & corn for the veg.

Jan 19 - Back to feeling 100% (or at least no worse that 95%). Have finished off the first of two skeins of yarn I have for the current scarf, very happy with how pretty it's turning out:

I am amused by how different the two sides look from each other; the sharp definition of the good side (top section, with the hook) versus the blurriness/fuzziness of the reverse.. At least they're both attractive, which is not always a given; some stitch patterns just don't look anything at all as good on the reverse as they do on the front side. Waffle stitch, I'm looking at you.

Also ordered more yarn for my stash, despite having not yet finished off what I currently have on hand. I wanted to order a bulk amount of cotton yarn to attempt making a hoodie with, and since the shipping was going to be about the same cost no matter how much yarn I ordered, I decided to also pick up another colourway of the Prism yarn I made the recent infinity scarf hood out of, plus some more of the yarn I'm using for this scarf in a couple of other colourways. I really like this yarn, if I wasn't so determined to make the hoodie using natural fibres I'd probably have opted for it (Premier Yarns Colorfusion DK) or perhaps one of their solids.

Ordered the cotton yarn in a pale blue and I'm thinking once it's done of picking up some dye to alter the completed garment to something more colourful. Some version of dip or splatter or tie-dye so it's not all one colour any more.

Made a favourite curry I haven't had in an age - chicken eggplant curry, taught to me by the Guyanese mother of a coworker back in the 90s (though I do a simplified version rather than strictly sticking to her method, such as using a couple of diced chicken breasts rather than cutting up a whole chicken, and I cheat with a mix of yellow curry powder plus individual seasonings). Served it with barberry rice, and steamed some cauliflower florets on top of the curry toward the end of cooking it.
