What a week
Jun. 17th, 2009 08:34 pmConsidering June Crown is as low-stress a camping event as I think could be imagined (no serious deadlines, enough committed responsibilities to keep busy but not so much as to be overwhelmed, relatively short drive, left the car mostly packed from last weekend, and am getting fed Sat. eve. in exchange for some butlering) I feel like I've been rushing around all week. Monday was staying late at work to finish up an investigation report to turn in (the original goal had been to get it finalized and closed Monday, but the fall-back was to have it out in e-mail before I left). Tuesday evening was sewing night at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
etaine_pommier's. Tonight was shopping and packing. Thursday kareina shows up to crash for the night before being picked up to go to Crown in the morning ... but in the midst of everything it had slipped my mind that Thursday evening is also Romeo & Juliet with Cal Shakes. So after a brief e-mail consultation, I went over to the Cal Shakes box office during lunch and managed to pick up another ticket. It's only vaguely in the same general section as our existing block, but given past experience, there's a pretty good chance there will be a vacancy closer by, due to no-shows. Of course, this also meant that I had to wrangle the camping gear sufficiently so that the passenger seat could be slid back a little. People do have this preference for not sitting cross-legged in the front seat of a car.
Next week, all I have to deal with is floor installation and the parents showing up. Should be a breeze.
The CSA box had no lettuce this week! Horrors! And since I had now accumulated two weeks' worth of carrots, this means carrot salad for lunch. (Grate carrots; mix in a handful of currants, a generous sprinkling of "Mrs. Dash" type seasoning, and a big glop of unflavored yougurt.) Garlic for the second week in a row, so I guess I don't have to ration it. Also now have two weeks worth of potatoes. Hmm, maybe potato salad for lunches? Not a bad idea! Assorted summer squashes for the second week in a row, which I hope continues indefinitely. They've been one of my staples of the summer for the last couple of years. Apricots! Yay! And an onion. A pity I can't swap them my potatoes or carrots for more onions.
