To-Did/To-Do

Today:
-Meeting with my Writing Club friends (yay!)
-Made a whole bunch of pancakes (snacks for the week)
-Repotted three newly-purchased pepper plants*
-Folded laundry
-Mowed
-Cricket work (only one useable datapoint out of 5 crickets, blargh)
-Hauled recycling
-Picked up heat-shrink tubing for fixing Froinlavin's taillight wiring
-Failed to pick up any anti-seize compound at bLowes (what do they actually sell in there? It never seems to be what I'm looking for, or else it's a set with 1 tool I want and 19 I don't)
-Acquired miscellaneous grocery items from Village Foods and HEB that couldn't be acquired at Brazos Natural on Saturday
-Made muesli and paneer, and cooked up some chickpeas

I also made really good progress on an annoying R project last night. I probably won't have time to work on it again for a while, though.

This week:
-Writing Club writing chores and carbohydrate assay
-Crickets Every Day
-Push other two manuscripts forward
-All-day conference in San Antonio on Tuesday
-Work on the Jolly Roger's stuck seatpost some more
-Fix Froinlavin's taillight wiring; work on pedals, adjust rear fender which keeps rubbing***
-Continue bridesmaid's dress shopping (and start shoe shopping) for annikusrex's wedding in April

At some point:
-Swap Jolly Roger's shifters and replace front brake pads**
-Schedule doctor's appointment for required physical (step 0, pick doctor)
-Renew passport
-Work on oar painting
-Work on quilt project
-Acquire basil and a couple more Succulents of Doom (last ones died in the frost)

*Garden side notes: A couple of plants I'd feared were dead are coming back to life - chiltepine pepper plant, Texas lantana, maybe even the last rhubarb. The apple tree is leafing out, the strawberry plant that survived last summer is blooming and has tiny fruits (newer strawberry plants do not), and the pomegranate is also showing signs of coming back to life. Still just buds on the fig tree. The dog broke another small flowerpot.

**I miss having a competent bike shop within walking distance of home and work. It's that "Everything is Three Miles Away" problem again, and it's not like there's much packed in-between my home and the bike shop. Lawns, mostly. There are times when I would gladly part with money for the convenience of having someone else do the mechanical work.

***It turns out this is mostly due to the non-driveside spokes loosening up, again. I'm definitely bringing the wheel with me back up to Seattle in April.
