My stainless Chicago cutlery has a sharpener in the knife block. Set so that I can't really do it particularly wrong.
Also. What is wrong with my ear? It seems like I have water in it, but it started the day after I showered, not the day of. It makes me want to take a bath to submerge my ears as if doing it backward would clear it. Okay, I probably just want to take a bath. But still.
I am so tired, y'all. I don't know how to shake it. And I have so much shit to do, but I cannot make myself do it. I just want to go to bed.
Timelies all!
Gary's out of town this week, so his mom took me out to dinner tonight. whee.
Yay Dana!
My meeting this morning went very well. I'm so pleased.

Per Alton Brown, those kind of things mostly re-straighten knives, rather than actually sharpen them.
Well, a lot of times what feels like a dull edge is really a thin edge that's curled to one side or the other, so a "sharpener" that straightens out that edge can make the knife "sharper" and function better.
I hmphed at Alton Brown and went to see what the internet said, and huh. There are a lot of people who spend a lot of time sharpening knives. I did not know this.
Anyway, I am apparently content with the level of sharp my implements are. I suppose we should have them sharpened.
Honing is different than sharpening but it makes knives last longer between sharpening.
S. just uses one of those round metal stick ... things.
Oh day.
I didn't get home for good until 9.
Though a really crazy series of miscommunication, turns out MK's been on the wrong (not bad wrong, just not as effective wrong, not what they wanted him on wrong) insulin. It's a combo of misunderstandings/telephone-game/misplaced sheet at checkout at the clinic and me not pushing back because I thought I understood. ANYWAY, upshot is MK is on a newer!better! insulin and they didn't charge me for the insulin or the bloodwork, since they were part of the error. And one of my favorite techs (lisah: Kendall) offered to drop by my house to deliver the insulin (made more sense for me to wait for him at the vets' since he was coming from the westside, vet is central and I'm east, but it was appreciated.) Honestly, I see how it happened, and I was a part of it.
And now I'm laundering towels. MK peed on the first one at the vet, then pooped on the one the tech gave me a BLOCK from the vet's. Classic.
I've been up since 5fucking30. And the last half of the workday was a total clusterfuck.
