Chock full o' day.

rivkaLots accomplished today, despite persistent sleepiness. I suppose that makes it a good day.
- We woke up on time and went to church, despite having gone to bed at 2am for no particular reason. Church was a good thing - the sermon was on whether it makes any sense to pray if you don't believe in a supernatural being who intervenes in the world on the behalf of believers, and there were readings about being a health care provider who works with dying people, and I found a lot of use there.
- I picked up my prescriptions, and bought sunscreen so we won't get charred to a crisp in Florida.

wcg came over, and we planned out my dress - picked the design example from the Bradfield book, talked over which details I wanted to be different, considered and decided against the prints at Reproduction Fabrics, visited two fabric stores, selected a print and a solid fabric after auditioning a cast of thousands, laced me into my corset for measuring purposes, made more plans. Bill sketched out a pattern for the bodice on a napkin, complete with measurements and piece shapes. He amazes me.
- Bill and I also did some non-dress-related things, of which the only part I will mention here is the singing.
- I decided I wanted to experiment with some of the flavors we had last night, so I made grilled salmon with mango salsa for dinner this evening. I marinated salmon fillets in olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper, and then cooked them on the George Foreman grill. I diced a ripe mango and a can of pineapple chunks and about half a red bell pepper chopped fine, and tossed them with a splash of lime juice and a splash of white vinegar, and sprinkled it all very lightly with sugar, and let the flavors muddle together for a couple of hours, and served it over the salmon fillets, with rice. It was really good.
- I paid all our bills, including the one that isn't due until after we get back from vacation.
- I made our flight reservations for Minicon. Now we have a con membership, a hotel reservation, and a flight reservation. That means we're really going. I will not have a social anxiety attack.
- I wrote a thing for the church newsletter about the Young Adult group I'm supposedly helping run. It was full enough of "If you're interested in [activity] contact [person who isn't Rivka]" to make me laugh out loud. Delegation is one thing I apparently have down.
Busy. Sleepy. Good night.
