8/19: getting an idea
...for a pamphlet in the morning, thinking about it in the afternoon, and making it this evening. I was prompted by a challenge for a mail swap--tell a story in 6 words--and my thoughts fell into line pretty quickly.
8/17: reading
...more of Asemic by Peter Schwenger. I didn't think I'd finish it before the start of classes, but after today's reading sessions, I think I will.
8/15: the continuing
...Summer of Pies. Blueberry filling and a crust (mixed and rolled by Chris) from a box of Jiffy pie crust mix. I bought it as a bridge between ready-made frozen shells (easy) and crust from scratch (intimidating), and I like the results. With the little bit of extra that was left over after we trimmed the crust to size, I also made a few cinnamon and sugar strips like my mother used to when she had leftover crust (which she always made from scratch).
8/14: taking
...my car for an outside wash & inside clean for the first time on my own. Every other time it's been done, I've gone with Chris or Chris has taken it on its own. It's an embarrassing milestone, but a milestone nonetheless. And just so I didn't feel so silly: another woman who was in the waiting room with me mentioned that it was her first time, so I told her it was my first time too and said "yay" for us.
