. My students’ final papers and projects are mostly due by midnight tonight, so tomorrow will be a big grading day; today is in theory more free. What I really want to do is spend the day decorating the house with holiday delightfulness, OR play video games all day — it’s been a long semester, people. But I have a long to-do list, so I think that’s going to have to mostly wait.
I did get up the kids’ countdown-to-Christmas — we got a new one this year (Target), after many years of using one Kevin’s mom made, which has over time lost most of the little ornaments that you pinned to a Christmas tree above. I’ll save it, in case one of them wants it someday for their own families — it just needs a bunch of tiny ornaments to refresh it. But for now, this works well for our primary purpose, which is giving each kid a little Hershey kiss every day in December until Christmas. They love it. It’s nice to have a little Christmas festive. More soon.
Plans for today:
• 4:00 — attend call re: some local politics issues — DONE!
Maybe some holiday decorating and/or video-gaming in the evening, if I am very good and focused between now and then. We’ll see!
5:30 — TIRED, SHIFTING TO TOMORROW:
• drop off six more HC and six more PB of Feast to Carnivore Oak Park, because they’ve been selling nicely, and they’re about to run out!
• check on fabric availability for outstanding orders — order fabric if needed
• pack and ship flash sale orders
• pack and ship Serendib orders that are ready
• revise and restart Kickstarter
• revise Vegan Serendib manuscript (Stephanie had a lot of little questions for me, but this should be fairly quick; also look at test cook recipe notes and make adjustments)
• cook mango fluff — I’m going to try to squeeze this last recipe into the cookbook, if I can make a vegan version that works
• cook broccoli varai and uppuma (we need new photographs of both, because they ones I have also have eggs or meat in the picture)
