Better than Monday

First of all, I replaced the bulb in my sunrise clock, so I was at work by about 5:30, instead of 5:45. It makes a difference.

I remembered to bring my good offset serrated knife AND the knife sharpener, too. The Dexter-Russell serrated is going to live there for the foreseeable future, which means shadowflyer can't use it to trim down drum brushes any more.

We don't get major supplier deliveries on Wednesdays, so no time loss checking in the order, this time.

I remembered to re-stock the bar cookie case while the scones were baking, before the brioche could go in, so that meant I didn't have to do it later.

I put the bacon in to cook pretty much as soon as the muffins came out, so it was ready and drained by the time I needed it.

I didn't have to slice any deli meat today. That helped.

And I only had to make three new salads -- Southwest chicken, black bean corn, and a fresh batch of the vinegared cucumbers. Not the five I had to do Monday.

No new soup today. They said my chicken soup was very good. It ought to be -- I've only been making it unsupervised for, what, seventeen years now?

Oh, and Southwest chicken salad and black bean corn salad have the same veggie mix in them -- peppers, red onions, scallions -- so I could dice them all at once. Handy.

Wednesday is also not a solo day. Jen was in around 8:30 or 9 AM, doing baking things, and so she was there to guide me on the things I hadn't done before, and also just to TALK to, so I didn't have the panic voice in my head.

I was out by 12:30. Go me!
