8/5: leftover
...grasshopper pie filling. There was so much of it that it didn't fit into the pie shell when we made it last week. Now we're having the extra on chocolate graham crackers, a deconstructed pie.
8/4: choosing
...new glasses. I had gone in a few weeks ago and tentatively picked out two pairs. This afternoon one of those pairs still seemed right, but I found a better set instead of the other pair. Hopefully they will be ready for back-to-school.
8/3: scheduling
...a doctor's appointment for later this week. Why is this a good thing? Because I had been putting it off and putting it off and putting it off.
8/2: turning my head
...this morning and seeing Phineas the Cat quietly watching me at the side of the bed, as if he didn't want to disturb me or wanted to make sure he'd be welcome. So I made a "come here" gesture, and he came and curled up next to me.
7/29: reading
..."The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne" by Anthony Trollope because I saw that it is on the new required reading list for all 12th grade students in Texas public schools. I was surprised to see Trollope's name at all on the list. I'm not sure what young people who read only this slice of Trollope's work will think of it, but I was glad to have a push to get some Trollope into my summer.
