Is it four yet?

I am soooo ready for this week to be over. What with people being out, extra stuff to do, and dealing with Cleo and her medication and the worry involved with that...it's just been a very long week.

Can't wait to get some fresh mandolin strings put on and head to that jam tonight!

Couldn't figure out how much water to put in the wild rice (for the boy's lunch). Called for 1 cup of rice to 4 cups of water. I had a third of a cup. So I called my mom.

She said a very profound thing to me...

She said "What you do to one side, you do to the other."

Just like Matthew's math that I was fretting over so badly a while back, remember?

The cup of rice was divided into thirds...the 4 cups of water needed to be divided into thirds too.

1 and 1/3 cups water.

This may seem silly and elementary to you, but it's a stunning breakthrough to me!

Me, too. I'm really tired. Been thinking too much this week. But at least I'm having a much better day than I did earlier this week. But it is way too gorgeous outside to be stuck in front of a computer. *pout*

We got plans for the weekend, tho. Will assemble my garden (might have to repaint the blocks, it's a very strange green), purchase and plant the emergency screens (to block the doughboy view), and stain/seal the deck.
