Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.
Yesterday was a Grading Day, so there isn’t much to say about that, except it was very sad. But I did finish, so that’s good.
I went grocery shopping in the evening. and saw a new Ice Breakers mints flavor. It’s called “sparkling”, and is “raspberry lemon seltzer” flavor. The raspberry lemon part was ok. The seltzer part was weird. It wasn’t a flavor, it was a… feeling? It sort of stung and burned my tongue. Did I like it? I’m not sure. It certainly was interesting though.
It was a Home Improvement Day yesterday. I figured out how to work around the weird metal box thingy in my kitchen ceiling, and now I have a light over the sink! Woo hoo! I predicted it would be a three-trips-to-Lowe’s project. It was only two!
I’ve had a new ceiling fan for… weeks? …months? The old fan in one of my bedrooms had stopped working properly – no light at all, and a fussy fan.
The new fan was a tricky installation as well. Two more trips to Lowe’s, and the fan was up. There’s light in the bedroom again!
The only drawback is that the new fan doesn’t have pull chains, it has a remote. The old fan used wooden pull-knobs I got in Wales. I’ve connected them to each other for now. Maybe I’ll hang them from the rear-view mirror of my car…
Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!
Spring is a big-time flowering season in Southern California. The hills around my school have these bright yellow daisies that are all blooming right now. I can see a patch of them from the balcony of my school. I drive past them on my way home:
There are a few places you can drive to see various flower patches . I’m most curious about a calla lily valley, but it’s way up by San Francisco, and the internet says I’m too late. Dang. Maybe next year.
Yesterday was the National Day of Prayer. I remembered doing prayer stations for two different prayer vigil days at Baltimore Lutheran, so I set some of them up at my school.
It was fun! I think the kids got some good out of it. My big learning of the day was how much salt a school full of kids will eat. The answer is: a lot.
A while back, I moved the cat tree out of the living room into the office. It’s so big, it was really dominating the living room But it took up a lot of space in the office too, and Bruno didn’t really like it there.
Now it’s in a new location that he likes. It’s in the mudroom area where his litter box used to be. It’s right next to the back door, so he can sit in it and look out the window and chitter at the birds outside.
He REALLY likes to sit there. I hardly see him on the couch any more.
