As usual with Saturday summaries, I’ll be brief since I have the week summary coming up. I did relatively little work today, or at least relative to what’s due this coming week. The justification is that I need to let this grant proposal sit a day before going through it again and editing it down. But I did do other work.
However, the main thing I did today was make tamales. Second time this year, third time ever. I’m starting to figure out some time-saving components, like it is MUCH faster to quarter the chicken and then cook it, and then dice it rather than hand-shred. Like, more than twice as fast. Also, weigh out the corn part and roll into balls first rather than randomly scoop some out and smush it into the corn husk. Anyway, it was dinner tonight, and it’ll be dinner the next 2 nights, too, and then it goes in the freezer to re-emerge in 2 weeks. I also have changed the tamale emoji I’m using: I was using the Emojipedia version as a placeholder, but Apple finally previewed their first 15 emojis for later this year, and the tamale was in there, so, yeah, I’m now using that.
So … food was good, and I did both weights and elliptical tonight like yesterday. Though, I really cut it down to the last minute not starting weights until 9pm, and then I started the elliptical at 11:45pm to try to get that temporal distance in. I really need to do it in the middle of the day to space things out more, and do the first weight lifting on Tuesday at the latest so I have at least 2 days between doing them instead of just 1.
