The cleaner is not here. The usual cleaner has a week off, which is fair but irritating because unusual cleaners frequently cannot clean. And they don't arrive at the same times. And they never say that in advance.
So, the cleaner is not here, and I don't know when they will be here.

This rambling is boring, I'll find something less boring to do instead.

I have achieved all the parts of Tuesday that I can do when I did not complete Monday, including the stupid vacuum cleaner parts :-)

... but not completing Monday means I didn't do Order Food, so I can't do receive delivery, so I am down to two meals and some random what do I do with thats.

So now I either go outside to do shopping or order things to be delivered tomorrow, preferably early enough for breakfast.

... or, as is most likely, do neither of those and sit staring at the cupboard tomorrow wondering if soup would do for breakfast.




Also I need to empty the washing machine and put the next load of laundry in and then do that again in a couple of hours. Which I will obviously totally get on with. Aaaaany minute now.


Oh, also, should probably eat.
:eyeroll:

drat it
the food is weirdly squishy
and oil squishes to the outside
before I have unsealed the packet.
I think I must assume it had a leak and has gone off.
so large egg thing is probably not edible.
especially since they're food that, by the sell by, lasts for months in the fridge so it's been sitting in there a long time anyway.

that means I have only chips-and-beans for eating. Hmmm, maybe some quorn burger to make it be more food? None of that is vegetable, but broccoli does not really go with chips or beans.

I'm annoyed now. food should work properly. Lately the cheesly is often not quite sealed and it goes green, and now the egg thing is oily on the outside and has a tiny squishy oil goes out the packet leak, and the food that usually needs cutting with a knife is instead squishy. these things are not supposed to happen.

sulk.

sulk more.


okay, so, it would be really helpful if I could go get more food, but first I need to eat food.
chips and beans it is then.

A Wizard Alone

I just finished reading the New Millennium Edition of A Wizard Alone by Diane Duane.
It is about an autistic wizard. And this time I can say that without any :-/ about it, it's actually about an autistic wizard.
The print edition had some odd ideas and I didn't quite know what to do with it, as I wrote here. But the new ebook editions, which mostly just fix the timeline to be this side of the century and the tech to make sense with the new time, in this case took the chance to properly fix things so the character makes proper sense.
I am all :-D

So now I am happy smiles about this book.





the particular ebook I bought from the author's shop has a couple of places where I don't know if it's how my computer is displaying it or if tis doing something awkward with italics, and a couple more with typos, and one sentence fragment I rather want the end of, but it basically works and doesn't do anything ugly and is readable. I maybe email the author to see if she wants to know what I found. print books have similar stuff happen but they can't just upload a fixed version if someone emails them. ebooks are tricky though, I'm reading in browser but I want to buy something that's meant to display this kind of files. Reading on the laptop uses more power and is harder to concentrate on.


but the book is good, and I'm glad I bought the whole set of NMEs because fixing things should be encouraged.
