i did not say lancaster out loud to anyone. i gotta see how many jars i will get--i'm trying to cook these down a lot so it may not be many! also i keep trying to think about how best to mail jars. it's risky.

one year passes...

I worked from home from the second week of march, 2020 through the first week of September, 2021.
I worked from work from the second week of September, 2021 through the last week of December, 2021.
I have not worked from anywhere since the first week of January, 2022 and I will not work anywhere ever again.
thank you, generous state pension!

during WFH I got into cooking and sewing. I am now very good and confident at cooking beans, which was not previously the case, and I am proficient at sewing this one dress pattern that I have adapted in a bunch of different ways. I made my wedding dress out of it. oh yeah, jergins and I got married.

after I retired I canned some stuff I made from our vast persimmon harvest (chutney and jam). I am now eating persimmon jam with a spoon out of a jar I just opened. I hope I don't get botulism. I am a nervous canner and I don't know how to tell if something I canned is poisonous other than to eat it and hope I don't die.

I am using a laptop that capitalizes some words but not others, and it's very annoying.

neither retirement nor marriage have made me any less irritable, you will be delighted to learn.
