redbird: closeup photo of an apricot (apricot)
( Sep. 3rd, 2020 01:31 pm)
I vaguely remembered these living up to their name, so bought some a few weeks ago and finally ate one last night.

After a few weeks in our fridge, and bought in August, it was juicy, not as crisp as promised, and had almost no flavor. Ah, well.

Not to bury the lede: We are basically okay, but [personal profile] cattitude tripped over an uneven sidewalk on his way home from the Belmont farmers market this afternoon. He cut his chin rather badly, and is likely to have a large bruise on one knee despite applying an ice pack soon after walking in the door. There's no sign of a concussion, and some evidence against it: a vivid memory of the fall and of seeing the a squash roll out of the shopping bag and across the sidewalk.

This led to me going up and down the stairs several more times than I was expecting today. I had already done the hip and knee stretches, fortunately, but no PT exercises.



I had a video chat with [personal profile] rysmiel this afternoon. It was good to look at them and hear their voice; the call was basically saying "I love you and I miss you," because anything even vagyely like news has been in our emails. This was imperfect, not nearly as good as being able to touch each other, but was worth having, after not seeing each other for more than a year.



I treated myself to another quart of Quebec strawberries, delivered via WhatsGood, along with a variety of other food. I may have bought more than we'll be able to eat, since the delivery fee is a flat rate. Also, I expected a smaller watermelon. So I got a watermelon, a cantaloupe, what appears to be more than two pounds of peaches, a pint of blueberries and a quart of strawberries.

Plus a blueberry pie, two yellowfin tuna steaks, two cucumbers, two pints of cherry tomatoes (I thought I was ordering one),and a package of Q's Nuts cashews. I cooked the tuna for dinner with ginger and olive oil, which was both, easy and delicious, and we had strawberries for dessert. We also have a squash, leeks, rutabagas, full-sized tomatoes, smoked salmon pate, and celery from the farmers market.



I checked off the only thing on the day's to-do list, invoicing for a recent batch of proofreading, before lunch.
