Planning for Tau day

 


Monday

I got up at 7:30. Chris was feeling better, but was working from home. I brought in the milk and eggs. As the milk was heating, I went through the morning list. I delayed practice until after Chris finished his meeting. I sent Jenni a pic of Chris' foot and she called her daughter who works at a hand and foot clinic. She confirmed the diagnosis: cellulitis. 

 As the milk cooled, I looked up pi activities for two pi day. But actually it is called tau day because tau = 2 pi. A video made a very convincing case for using tau in pi formulas.

Once the milk was treated and all the ferments were in the dehydrator to form yogurt, I made and ate breakfast. I read e-mail and messages. I posted for band.

John came around at 1 to drive Chris to Tooele for his antibiotic prescription. I watched more tau videos, hoping to be inspired to create a flyer for the event.

After they got back, a man came to fix the toilet by replacing the flapper. He also tightened the handle on the kitchen faucet. Later I went to the library to return my book and get another one. I explored “checking out” a book on pi from the online library.

I went home to get my music and I went to the chapel for band. Sophia was waiting for me. As we set up, Keli arrived. The three of us played through the songs for Sunday and for the next Sunday. We played two other songs and were about to quit when the chaplain came by. He talked with us for awhile. I told him about Chris' foot.

I went home. I watched a video on the Right to Repair Act HR 1566. The manufacturers are clouding the issue with the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. I went out to mow. While I was mowing, the automatic sprinklers came on – 10 minutes early. I got wet as I ran to put the mower away. Then I went to the garden to water the plants that the oscillating sprinkler doesn't reach.

When I got home, Chris was putting up a different DVD player. It worked but did not have a remote. There were player buttons on the front, but none to navigate the DVD menu. He was very frustrated. We watched the first episode on the DVD. Then I put the jars of yogurt in the fridge. I read some messages, then remembered to work on my blog. I prepared for bed.
