That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

in the instant pot

Which reminds me to get some jambalaya going in my instantpot. First though, I have to clean off the countertop of the stuff I used for the lab demo I filmed earlier.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I hard-boiled eggs for breakfasts for the week, and baked scones. I tend to stress-bake, so I want to make something else. Maybe cookies.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

....or maybe I will decided to buy All the Things off Amazon. Well, All the Grains.

Punishingly Intricate

I made banana bread and a sheet pan frittata for breakfasts this week! I have to take so many long breaks of doing nothing in between any activity, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Took a walk and it greatly improved my mood.

SAME. And I spent an hour in the sun talking to neighbors, instead of a crafting zoom session with my band, which was definitely the right call. I should be practicing trombone more, though. But I've never been good at practicing!

Now watching an ep of Ken Burns' country music which I never watched.

Oh, it's so good.

I haven't baked anything! I should.

God, yes. I'm currently parked on the couch and just thinking vaguely about making cookies. We were going to take a walk but realized it's raining, which I think is the universe's way of telling me I should be on the couch.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I loved Country Music. It's so interesting how all the threads connect in terms of influence and partnerships.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Not only are the birds louder, I'm also hearing bird calls that I don't normally hear in NYC.

It's like a Hitchcock movie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Now that I have a working sewing machine again, I'm in the mask-making business. So a friend drove down from Lowell, we sat 6 feet apart out in my garden for a little, we took a socially distant walk with her dog, and I felt like I did a good deed, especially because she hasn't had a lot of face-to-face conversations, living alone and retired.

Tomorrow, back to the grind. I suppose it's still technically a holiday here (Patriot's Day (the real one)) even though the Boston Marathon is NOT being held this year, and in fact I gather the cops will be attempting to discourage runners from running it on their own unofficially.

IIRC, the race was still held through two World Wars, this is the first time ever it has been postponed. I sure hope they get to run it in September or October.
