A Few Quick Notes 130

-Today seemed a little warmer than yesterday, though on the crisp side of things. Other than that it was pretty unexciting in terms of weather.

-For breakfast this morning I made myself some scones. It has been a while since I have done this, something that I was reminded of during a conversation on the topic a few days ago. Unfortunately, the scones didn’t have quite the right texture, though they were still quite edible.

-For the past few hours I have been preparing a batch of beef stew for dinner. In a short while I will try to peel the potatoes and add them, finishing the last major step before the product is to be served.

-Since we put the curtain up last night Nithum has been taking advantage of his added privacy, something that I don’t find surprising at all. As far as I know, the curtains haven’t actually been fully opened since they were installed.

-I have been reading a fair bit about Access to Information laws over the past few days. Not only do I have to assist in the preparation of a presentation on the topic, but I also have to write an archives related paper on the subject.

-All week Nithum and I had been looking forward to the Saturday and Sunday only 50% off bacon sale at the local grocery store. Unfortunately, by the time that I made it to the store late this morning they had sold out. In the end I just purchased some crackers, garlic, and discount flour.

A New Era of Privacy

Shortly after Nithum returned home this evening it was decided that tonight would be the night that we installed a privacy curtain in his room.

For the past two months we have had both the curtains and the curtain wire needed to complete the job. The only thing missing was the motivation, something that we both seemed to never quite find.

Not surprisingly, the job only took us about 20 minutes or so. Nithum has since been basking in his newfound privacy. Though I don’t think that I will be gaining privacy, I am looking forward to feeling more comfortable about using the bathroom in the middle of the night without walking through the heart of Nithum’s room.
