I think the only work work I did today was email. Tomorrow will have to be a different story.
I taught the 2nd of the three cooking demos at Aprilaire I’m doing this summer – #1 was back in June, and #3 will be October. They’re a company here in Madison that makes indoor air quality products – not furnaces, but furnace filters and dehumidifiers and such. About 40 of their employees are getting CSA boxes this summer, so I’m helping them figure out what to do with their loot.
We had shut the house up yesterday & turned on AC – this house does not have an Aprilaire filter in the furnace, but E. Wash does – I replaced it last Saturday and I’m so glad I did it myself – It would’ve cost me at least $100 to have the furnace guys come. What I was replacing was the filter media – so pleated fabric-like material, that had to be inserted into a plastic frame that slides into the furnace, but first a set of combs, or separators had to be threaded in, to hold the pleats in place. The filter cost $40, and it took me like 30 minutes to get it all put back together – so that’s why I say it woulda been spendy to get the experts to come do it.
But this morning it poured so now it’s cooled off nicely and windows are open.
We took the German exchange student to get her schedule. We had to wait almost an hour for the counselor, but once we got in, it was a surprisingly not terrible experience – our student is pleased with her schedule, the counselor was very nice, and the computer system for picking classes and arranging the schedule worked.
Came home again, and went out to run a few random errands on my bike. I made pizza for dinner – one with roasted broccoli and one with the leftovers of a fresh mozzarella, parsley and cherry tomato salad I made yesterday on top – sort of Margherita. It came out a little soggy somehow, and we didn’t eat until 8:00 – oh well story of my life. Tomorrow morning when the German girl gets up to go run cross country at 6:30, I’m staying in bed. Every other morning I’ve gotten up. Time to wash the pizza pans and collapse in front of TV – but, oh wait – there’s bills …
Kinda soggy pizza
