(Written and posted on Facebook on Monday, 4 May; posted here in my blog on Tuesday, 5 May.)<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>I mowed my front lawn for the first time in, oh, 9 or 10 years, I think. (I usually pay gardeners to do that once a week, but I\u2019m currently paying them to not show up.) (Yes, I know that lawns are not great, and sooner or later I\u2019ll probably replace mine, but I haven\u2019t done it yet.) My old lightweight manual mower wasn\u2019t (ahem) cutting it (I might need to get the blades sharpened), so I used the electric mower (don\u2019t think I had ever used that before), which worked nicely after I found the battery charger.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Received various items in the mail: a mask that Mary Anne made for me, and a couple of book-reading aids that I\u2019ll post about sometime soonish. Also the Sally Ride stamps and First Moon Landing stamps that I had ordered from USPS a week or two ago.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Did a couple of long-delayed day-job tasks, and a couple of not-delayed but time-sensitive ones.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Read a couple of stories in a book I\u2019m reading.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Labeled a few photos.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Continued to be sleepier than usual; pretty sure I fell asleep once or twice at various times during the day.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Updated my voter registration.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Had a couple of phone calls.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Got pleasing news about a friend\u2019s college plans.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Decided that it was finally time for me to get a sewing machine and learn to sew. Then spent a while discovering that apparently everyone else in America is doing the same. All of the best-for-beginners models that were recommended by three different prominent sites turned out to be sold out everywhere, and the Singer website says that they\u2019re totally swamped with orders and having a hard time keeping up. Oh, well, I\u2019ll wait a bit and try again.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Did my best to avoid doing a particular long-overdue non-work task, but I think that I may have temporarily run out of things that I can do to avoid that this evening, so I may have to go work on that. :) After that, will try to get to sleep early for once.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Edited the next day to add two things I forgot to mention:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Found two bagels in my fridge. I thought that I had eaten the last of the bagels a couple days ago, but I apparently forgot about these two.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Made some more melted-chocolate-with-cream stuff; more on that in another post.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>(No advice, please.)<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-updates"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18512"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18516,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18512\/revisions\/18516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
