I'm very achey tonight. Too much work on the banisters this weekend, I think. I did apply more stripper to one of the spindles, to see if one coat will do it. Hopefully one night off will help. Otherwise might need to take a longer break.

Thanks Zenkitty. Insent.
Today my knee decided it hates me. I didn't fall or twist it weird, but it hurt. It needs to get with the program soon. Driving back to Cali is NOT the time for my knee to act up.
My dad should be almost back to California. We all survived. I think he was surprised that I'm really an adult who has a nice home, cook fairly healthy, recycle, am a member of our CSA. Added bonus was running into one of the office mucky-mucks and, when I introduced her to my dad, she complimented my work and said she has enjoyed working with me the past 11 years.

I'm glad you had a good visit.
FIFTY TWO SPINDLES TO GO. And a post and the top banister.
Why?

Because books.
Thanks for the recipes, Dana.
I'm glad the visit went well, Suzi. And I love when you get to show off like that in front of your parents. It might be silly, but it still feels good.

Speaking of recipes, I made that AMAZING tomato sauce recipe and it was, in fact, very tasty. Very rich, a bit like vodka sauce. For my regular sauce, I'd still rather have sausage, olives, etc., but I will keep a can of San Marzano tomatoes on hand for the times I want an easy no-prep sauce.

Recipe or it didn`t happen! I`m always looking for sauce recipes. Right now I do a variation on Molto Mario`s basic tomato sauce. Heat olive oil, shred carrots and thyme and onions and garlic. Saute, til onions are golden and carrots are soft. Then add canned diced tomatoes, bring to a boil then simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then I add random things to it. Mushrooms or sausage. This last time I made a veggie sauce with carrots and zucchini and green peppers.

1 can tomatoes, 1/2 stick butter, onion cut in half. Simmer 45 minutes, remove onion. Salt to taste.
Yes, that's it.

Oh yeah, and what`s wrong with the verb "solve," ita`s coworkers?
I went to my local art & office supply store today looking for the liquid graphite pencil. They looked it up for me, but couldn`t find a stock number online. So they`re going to call the vendor in the morning and will let me know if they can order it.
eta: nom! Will try.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know what they should say instead of "solutioning"? FIXING. Seriously. They should totally give that a go.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think instead of "solutioning" you should use "thinging." You know, like in the Monty Python sketch where the government discusses taxing thinging.
