Inadvertently I end up dressed like a minion: eggyolk yellow tee shirt and classic bib overalls. No bread for toast? That's OK, I made whole wheat piñon pancakes. Today's caffeinated beverage? Leftover coffee or Earl Grey/hibiscus/mint iced tea.
What will I do today? Fashion an adaptor plate to mount a flush light fixture in a closet, install smoke detectors and CO detector, and add a strap to the water heater. Could I BE a minion?
By the end of the day, the LED light was installed, the smoke detectors were installed, and the water heater was strapped. All projects strewn with unperceived pitfalls, and the awe and wonder was akin to that you feel when seeing a dog walking on its hind legs. Not that they do it well, but that they do it at all. Though the closet light and detectors look pretty good.
Also good meals- besides the pancakes, turkey, tomato, and cheese rollups for lunch, and udon noodles with sesame vegetable broth and chicken potstickers, and fresh garlic green beans.
One setback- one of the outlets in Gloria's room gave up a crackle and flash, and gave up the ghost, tripping the breaker. We'll have to fix that on Thursday afternoon. Two steps forward, one step back. A failure worthy of a minion, though, with the sturm and drang involved.
We went to bed exhausted.
