Today:
Got somewhere under 5 hours of sleep. Played gems until it was apparent that I wasn't getting back to sleep any time soon.
Discovered a poker mat on the Craigslist. Enlisted Belovedest for a drive to grab the thing from in front of the person's garage, negotiated via text and email. We'll take a closer look at it tomorrow.
We polished off last night's bean soup this morning, and I was vaguely thinking about another potful, but it takes a while to cut up the vegetables, and it might even be borscht season.
On the last Costco trip, Belovedest got me some slip-on slippers, and those have been great for my little toesies. One of the extremely known side effects of the new blood pressure medicine is cold feet, and my feet are already inclined to being chilly. I also get The Sensory Woe if things are on my feet Wrong, and being able to get the slippers off my feet in an instant helps a lot.

We're doing soup again. This one has tomato, olive oil, Italian seasoning; we were out of bacon fat, and Belovedest wanted to change up the taste. We'll see how it goes. The instant pot can't be on the same power strip as the electric kettle, we discovered. (We previously discovered that the electric kettle and the Keurig can't be on the same power strip.)
My early-in-the-month word pushes are doing well for me, as I only have 861 words today to stay ahead of par. I've stayed above par so far, even though there were two days in the 1400s, the rest have been above 1667 and closer to 1900. So the NaNo stats tell me.
I'm in the Pearl League in Duolingo. Gender still gives me the aaaaaa, but verb forms are going to be worse.
