On Monday at 5:30, I had to do an online lecture for my organization of info class – 33 slides introducing library cataloging rules and record format…. We had an hour, up to an hour 15 allotted, and I planned to burn thru the slides, leaving 15 mins. at the end for a demo of online resources and a cataloging interface. It all worked out ok, or at least in timely fashion. About 6 students showed.
So, I went downstairs and made turkey sandwiches on cocktail buns for me & the Japanese exchange student. We ate them with leftover samosas from Sunday and broccoli (me), and wheat sticks (her).
I fiddled around with email and washed & dried all the rag towels I’d been using to sop up the wet in the basement from the wintry mix weather event of the weekend – freezing rain and rain to grey slippery frozen ice-covered everything by Monday morning. In preparation for the next time it happens – the weatherman says it’ll be Thursday.
So far so good – I watched another season one Downton Abbey episode – the one where Sybil gets knocked down in an Election Day fight, and Mary and Matthew’s first kiss.
I broke into that stashed bar of Toblerone, and it tasted so good that I decided that if I washed the dinner dishes and folded the old towels, I could spend the rest of the evening (it was almost 9:00 by then anyways) lolling on the couch, eating chocolate, and watching TV. So I did. I got to see the current episode of Shameless, and the news. The two-hour penultimate Downton Abbey was being rebroadcast on WI Public Television, and I watched a few minutes, but we just saw it Sunday, and I knew all the dialog already, so I switched to Letterman. The black cat was perfectly willing to curl up in my lap to keep me on the couch.
