So I did some writing this morning, and then I messed around in my garden. It was already almost too hot at 9am, and definitely too hot at 11 - the temperature was bad enough, but the humidity was punishing. I cleared out the last of my blighted squash and cucumber, leaving one cucumber plant and one butternut squash as the sole survivors of that bed's carnage (well, and some rosemary that is going gangbusters). And I added some more support to the tomatillo that is becoming a tree, and the poblano pepper that is suddenly showing signs of shooting up. Hopefully there are still two full months to the growing season and some of these tings recover from all the heat and rain we've had, but we shall see.
Just when I thought I was done outside, [censored] asked me to help pick up sticks - and since it was because he had removed a couple of dead branches that were torn out by a recent storm, I decided I should probably assist. By the time we got most of the sticks, I was really done outside - I didn't even try to sit on my balcony this afternoon since it was clearly a fool's errand.
So I showered, ate some leftover eggplant and tofu stirfry, and did a whole bunch of stuff this afternoon. That mostly involved packing for a last-minute trip to California, which I am making in as lightning-quick a fashion as possible - out tomorrow night, back early Saturday. I also did a bunch of stuff around the house, took care of various paperwork, and finally finished sending my tax info to my CPA (still within reason for the extended filing period, but perhaps late if you're a 'must file in April' type).
At some point I also made supper for me and [censored] - simple roasted chicken breasts and roasted baby potatoes, which are easy and also tasty (per my taste buds; your mileage may vary). And now, I need to wrap up so I can do a million things (mostly work related) before leaving tomorrow - goodnight!
