Letters to Esther

Progress Report: Letters to Esther

More progress! I spent the last couple hours installing WordPress on the Esther sub-domain. Actually, it took about two minutes to install. The rest of the time was spent in my other favorite pastime–not!–template tweaking. It’s done, though. I’ll post there whenever I upload new files or add substantially to existing ones. That way, those following along won’t have to try to keep track of what’s new and what’s not.

Good lord, could it get any more windy? Seriously. And we’re under a tornado watch until 10pm. I really am not amused. I really, really don’t like Indiana weather. The winters aren’t cold enough and the summers–which apparently begin in March–are too hot and muggy. O ick. It’s 85F inside right now, which is way too warm, but I’d feel like a total wimp if I turned on the AC, onna counta it’s March! Hrmph.

But the good news is that the Almond Dishmate Fairy visited in the wee hours, placing a bottle of dish detergent–the good stuff from the co-op that doesn’t leave a gross residue on dishes–on the driver’s seat of my car[1]. Thank you, Ms. Lea! I think part of the reason I kept forgetting to pick up dish soap was that I didn’t want to use any of the gross “ultra” varieties. They all stink to high heavens and no matter how thoroughly you rinse, there is still a residue that just won’t come off. It’s especially bad on plastics, because they absorb the chemical-y odor and taste.

[1] Since graduating to a grown-up car, I no longer leave my keys sitting on the dashboard. I do, however, still leave the car unlocked when at home. I’m far enough off the road that no one is likely to bother it, and if they did, there’s not really anything useful in it. And, leaving it unlocked makes it much easier for folks to drop off things without having to stop if they don’t want to. Even the UPS guy seems to like this arrangement. He always leaves packages in my car if it’s home.
