My Day

We worked on Spelling Bee and finished it just after 9:00 a.m.  I learned what "teff" is.  

PG asked me about a couple of baseball terms in the mystery story she's reading.  The book is more than 50 years old, so a younger person might not have heard a pitcher/catcher combination referred to as a battery.

Mastercard bill notification.  I confirmed the two charges are legit (sheet set for us and winter socks for me) and that we're on autopay.

Did some virtual traveling to a couple of neighborhoods where I used to live.  I remember a large building where my mother used to work that's gone now, according to Google Maps.  The Gulf station on the corner near the high school is gone, too.  

Alternated between reading (X, Bluesky, Feedly, The New Yorker) and working in the kitchen (baking, cleaning up).

On my way past an episode of Wagon Train, the TiVo cast list included Dick Cutting.  If you want to google Dick Cutting, be prepared for results that don't pertain to an actor.  

Played some iPad games together on the bed upstairs.  Never anything competitive, always games where we work as a team to solve the puzzles.  

She turned over and went to sleep, and I came in here to scroll through browser history for this post.  

Checked status of an order.  Not shipped yet.  No rush.

Bluesky post from Sky News reports that nearly 600K persons in GB will be all alone on Christmas Day.  I should call my late sister's ex-husband tomorrow.
