The Now: October 21, 2022

We get monthly deliveries from Sitka Salmon Shares. As much as I love salmon, it's a lot of fish to eat. Most weeks, we make two dinners involving some of the filets. It's still not enough to keep up. So, I decided to make lox from scratch. I reviewed a lot of recipes, but settled on a basic one to start with. The salmon got a rub, wrapped, and went in to the fridge on Monday. Tonight, I get to unwrap and rinse. I'm excited to see if it works. If it does, I'm making lox all the time.

Here's what else has my attention.

WORK
  • Earlier today, some colleagues and I met to discuss our research assignment design study. Our original survey results both told us nothing and everything. So, we're turning to focus on the interviews. We met to discuss logistics, transcription, analysis, planning, and all that fun stuff.  It's been a long time since I have done research of this sort and it feels good.
  • It took weeks but I finally got the coding for the header of the new webpage to work. (There may have been some exited dancing in my office.) Now, I need to tweak the footer.
  • We're about halfway through the webinars in our fall series. I've been handling the logistics for the past few, but I'm on the slate to run the next session. Started working on my slides and content.
  • Our CAO's office has some money to spend by the end of the year. They're asking University departments to submit proposals to receive some of the funding. I wrote up one for the Library asking for funds to improve our accessibility workstation. We'd love to get an adjustable desk, hearing aid compatible headphones with mics, and speech-to-text software. Fingers crossed!
  • Internet Librarian is next week. I created my slides and notes. Now I just need to review them and practice before my session.

PERSONAL
  • Our family photo shoot is in a few weeks. We want our clothes to be coordinated but not matchy-match. We went through a ton of options for the kiddo and settled on an outfit and backup outfit (cause toddlers). The husband bought a new sweater so I took to LL Bean to find a few options for myself. The kiddo and I will do one wardrobe change (weather permitting). I can't wait to see how these pictures turn out.
  • I created and sent out the October 2021 newsletter for my condo's green committee. This month, I focused on e-waste.
