a productive morning

So far today, I have

• exchanged email with a professor who is going to be my next proofreading client


• sent my pilaf recipe to someone who asked for recipes for leftover chicken


• cleaned the stovetop (after putting the crumb trays and the iron frameworks that go over the burners when the stove is on)

In the process of sending out the pilaf recipe, I realized that I've been using significantly less butter/margarine than it calls for, and that this may be why it hasn't always been coming out right. I also rewrote the recipe to reflect changes I had made on purpose, and to list the ingredients in the order that they're used in.

This feels like enough for the morning, if not the whole day. And I haven't even showered yet, despite having been up for a couple of hours.
