This weekend, as Andy previously expressed, we went to visit his relatives in Ohio. I’d never before spent any significant amount of time in Ohio, but it seems like a very nice place. We stayed with Andy’s grandma, and met most of the other relatives at a cookout at his aunt and uncle’s house on Saturday. I was rather stressed out about meeting the in-laws, but I had a good time.
I’ve been doing a good job of avoiding studying this week. Today I’ve been running errands. I dropped some stuff off at Goodwill and bought some vegetables at the farmer’s market. I’m thinking about buying some plants there for our shady patio area; I tend to dither about small purchases like that for months. Then I went to Sam’s Club. I find that place fascinating, and always seem to spend a long time there. I’m always anxious to get in and out of the regular grocery store as fast as possible, but at Sam’s I spend forever marveling at the giant jars of mayonnaise.
I need to turn my attention to Ancient Mesopotamia for a while now. No mayonnaise; ziggurats.
