  | a little shoulder pain, apparently from sleeping on my right side
  * put end-plate or something on the bottom headboard shelf so
    Colleen's phone stays put.  (used an Elfa bookend; need more of those)

    cleared off piles to right of the monitor.
    Found a clipboard, and several forms that need to be sent in RSN
  * Dinner. Of course, in order to start cooking the rice, I had to
    clean the rice cooker.  For that I needed to get the dirty dishes out of
    the sink.  So I had to put the clean dishes away...
  * Decanted 25# bag of brown basmati rice into five 1-gallon ziplock bags.
  * stir-fried/steamed broccoli; reheated chicken from yesterday
  | 8:52p resisted temptation to have more dinner.  It helps that I'm pretty
    full already, but still...

Got up late, and left on a shopping trip a little after noon. I never did take a walk; Colleen suggested taking it in the evening when it was cooler, but I was too busy and tired at that point. I did get in some walking and stair-climbing at Kaiser while waiting for our prescriptions to be filled, so the day wasn't entirely without exercise. But it's a poor substitute for an hour's walk in pleasant surroundings.

I made dinner: rice; stir-fried/steamed broccoli with garlic, onion, ginger, and sake; and warmed-up leftover chicken in broth from Friday. Of course, in order to start cooking the rice, I had to clean the rice cooker. For that I needed to get the dirty dishes out of the sink. So I had to put the clean dishes away... Oddly enough, I didn't mind much.

Since I'd opened the 20# bag of brown basmati rice, I went on to transfer the rest of it into 1-gallon ziplock bags; it took five of them. Three ended up in the back freezer.

Most of the evening was spent going through the two piles of random papers and receipts to the right of the keyboard. Of course, this resulted in a smaller pile to the left of the keyboard, in the space I'd cleared off Friday -- it's almost entirely stuff that needs to be Dealt With soon: forms, renewals, and the like.

Colleen promised me two kisses for every bag of trash I took out; I collected for two bags this morning.

Link sausage: One of the magazines I recycled included an article on specialized web hosting, and yielded a link to Rock Web Hosting. I don't think I need it, but it's an interesting niche.
