This week, I took off to CMESG 2026 in Kingston. This was my first conference of the summer. I wrote down my pack list for future reference. I’m shocked that I didn’t use my laptop or Kobo, and I’m delighted that I brought my AeroPress.
This week, we went on a walk to see if the community center pool was going to open soon. It was not open, not even filled, but we heard water sprinkling in distance. The splash pad was open and the girls were delighted.
Every morning, the girls brush their hair. Usually, they do so on their own with their own brushes. This week, things have transitioned to me chasing them around with a brush in each hand. They think that being chased by a Brush Monster is hilarious. Crazy fun!
This week I submitted my continuing status dossier!
It is such a relief to have that project off my plate. Largely, it was just polishing up and enlarging my previous probationary dossier. I’m glad with how it turned out. It monopolized my writing time in May and I’m excited to move on to other projects.
We did a little demo of the Bridges Talk for Birchmount Highschool. It went great and we know what to improve for the actual workshop.
This week in Seminar we had a speaker come and teach us about Rubik’s Cubes. I picked up a set of ten cubes, Moyu Meilong 3C, for the Seminar. This got me all excited about learning a new thing. I have a zillion tabs open about Rubik’s Cubes and want to track down some literature.
After a week of goofing around with it, I still can’t solve the cube from memory. I’m taking the learning process quite slowly and not rushing. At some point, I would like to write up notes on the process of learning the Rubik’s Cube.
We’ve passed May 24th, which is the folk date to start of gardening in Southern Ontario. A lot of people at the community garden have their tomatoes and peppers in now that there is no need to worry about frost.
I decided that I’d focus on beets and pole beans this year. I sowed seed for a 5x10ft patch of beets: Ruby Queen, Detroit Red, and some mystery seed swap variety. Last year, I didn’t thin my beets and so the yield was tiny.
The garden has two plots: the raspberry plot and the family plot. The family plot is divided in to quarters: Mabel’s strawberry patch, Mira’s flower garden, Meg’s pumpkins, and my beets. One of Meg’s pumpkin seeds has already shot up its seed leaves. What a keener!
