Things done, Pandemic days 63, 64, 65
May. 18th, 2020 08:32 pmDone Saturday:
* Some chores
* Called Shiny, as per yesterday's filtered post
* Good Omens readthrough with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
wildeabandon et al. Very fun! Very good people! Also I enjoyed being the stage directions. I'm considering asking to give up my MC slot next time in favour of God or more stage directions, actually...
* Ordered a hard copy of The Mercies, b/c no kobo aus. Also a plastic file folder, to meet the free shipping level, and to store my swiss papers in.
* I think I ate leftovers for dinner and more listening to 'What Belongs To You'? Not sure, tbh.
The DW reading post happened in there somewhere, at least.
Done Sunday:
* Called brother, had a nice catch up. He's doing... better. There was, like, 50% less bitching about his phd-holding colleagues, which was nice vis a vis less bitching and also vis a vis amount of times it seems I'm expected to explain what a PhD is for anyway. He had anticipated what I was calling to inform him of, vis, that I might not make it to his wedding.
* Called mum to inform her of same fact. Predictably she took it worse than brother, but not BADLY per se. She was the one who was like "will you be upset if they don't postpone for you?" Me:.. no. I am the last person you should postpone a wedding for.
* Meditation
* Washed the bathroom floor
* Probably some other stuff but blowed if I know what.
* 1 (one) scary email
* More Greenwell, some Penumbra. Some colouring-in.
* Made roast eggplant with spinach and pine nut pilaf.
* ACTUALLY attended german class, despite the reminder not going off on my phone.
Done Monday:
* Groceries. 150 chf worth, + 20chf in boquet and pot flowers. The latter are an indulgence; the former... THREE TIMES AS MUCH as I spent in Geneva, idek. Almost too much to carry. The flowers were a mixed bunch though and I'm pretty pleased. The pot were... small and purple.
* Made toasted sandwiches with egg, Jack M's banana ketchup, capsicum and cheese. Could have used some pineapple (*ducks*).
* Ordered online some egg rings (a set, one round and three fun shapes) and egg poaching dodads, fed up with my egg-frying experience.
* Read more of Solga
* Laundry - hung in the hangy room because someone was using the tumble dryer. Found some teatowels of mine, i guess I had dropped them and someone put them in the hangyroom?
* Did TWO pomodoros on phd>book, although the second turned out to be more COMMode related.
* Placed another Betterworld order
* Happy Hour with KHC and the drummer. Got deets of KHC's hairdresser in Fribourg; have booked for June 19.
* Cut up some more cardboard and fed it into the cardboard recylcing bin's tiny mouth.
* Got notif from régie that I can expect delivery of my free planters tomorrow (plants to follow soon). Pleased to report I could understand the gist of the letter in German without google translate.
* Previewed some docs for MF
* Et dinner, same as yesterday except cold and now with feta cheese.
* Am making this post.
I am having an ongoing problem with my google calendar. I put all my everything in it. After forgetting German a lot I went into iphone settings and told it to notify me 10 min beforehand. It does this for most other things, but not German classes, so far. Why, I cannot tell. I reinstalled iCal, synced to Gcal, and told it to give me notifications; it did not notify me about happy hour with KHC (although gcal desktop did), but that might be because not enough time to sync. I have gone through my phone and manually disabled 'sound' on almost everything except calendars, since that seems to be the only way to get a BEEP YOU HAVE A THING but not constant beeps. Remains to be seen if this... works.
