Day & Links

[x_los]

Yesterday I:

* did music work for Radiosonic,
* made three kinds of stock,
* rendered schmaltz,
* cleaned out the freezer,
* got my dental work done,
* scheduled the next dental appointment,
* had Katy's brother over,
* made meatloaf, mushroom gravy and green beans,
* did pretty much all the dishes we own,
* was on alert all day for the interview call I've been told to expect,
* listened to more "War and Peace",
* found and went over notes from my initial advisor meeting, and
* did a fair amount of PhD scheme-of-work planning.

Pretty tired.
