9/28: receiving
...a rare copy of Sounds of Summer Night written by May Garelick and illustrated by Beni Montresor. It's an ex-library copy from the 1960s with (unfortunately) some permanent ink cross-outs, but I'm still so glad I have such a minimalist wonder. Its images are both calming and exciting.
9/27: preparing food
...for the week. I made a batch of blueberry baked oatmeal that will last all week, a coffee walnut cake for some upcoming desserts, and fried rice for Monday and Tuesday lunch.
9/26: morning and evening
Morning: It was finally temperate enough to walk outside! I saw the blinking of geese's wings as they flapped overhead. I watched butterflies. I visited the lake and photographed reflections.
Evening: I finished writing the sabbatical proposal that I began in the afternoon. Hurray for getting it done in a day!
9/25: 50 cents off
...per gallon when I bought gas today. I almost didn't take the time to fill up after grocering this afternoon, but I'm glad I did: when I paid at the pump, I saw that the perk on my shopper's card would otherwise have expired before I would have used it.
9/23: students asking
...about the index card art swap I used to run regularly on campus. It was 15 years ago that a student and I did that! But the current students had come across it in an old issue of the campus newspaper and wanted to know more.
9/22: a cooler day
...at last. It's funny to think of a day with highs in the 80s as "cooler," but there it is, and I'll take it.
9/21: celebrating
...my blogiversary with a chocolate mousse pie. This blog is an adult--18 years old!
