Quotidian

I spent most of yesterday doing proofreading for science textbooks, because there was a lull in my own project (we've sent a lot of things to Production and are waiting for them to be [in those cases necessary] laid out, typeset, and returned for proofreading). Then I went to the gym; a decent workout, given a week between visits. On the way home, I found and brought home a new humidifier, the previous one having died after less than three months' use. We considered that it might still be in warranty, and decided we didn't care, because they'd just send us another of the same somewhat annoying design.

Ice cream!

Time and energy finally came together, and I've used the ice cream maker cattitude got for my birthday (and delivered around the new year, as agreed at the time).

Thus, we have had cinnamon vanilla ice cream for the first time in too many years (since Peter's Ice Cream on Atlantic Avenue lost their lease). It's good. I served us each a bowlful as soon as the ice cream maker stopped, and put the rest in the freezer to harden a bit and be eaten later. It wasn't even difficult: milk, sugar, powdered cinnamon, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
