After yesterday’s falling accident, I had bandages on the heels of my hands and my knees overnight. They’re a bit sore, but beginning to heal up. I could do most things, but kitchen work was tough without getting my bandages wet.
I did six ethics classes today, finishing off the “Let’s Design a Government” theme. Yesterday and today I had to tell all my students that I’ll be taking three weeks off for my Europe trip and I wont see them until mid-July. I will begin the next topic tomorrow and run it until Friday, then interrupt for my trip and resume on Sunday after I get back in three weeks. So the next topic, “Old-Fashioned”, will be split across the holiday.
Today I also packed up some more Magic: the Gathering cards which I sold to someone online and then shipped them off via the post office. It was about 2 kilograms of cards, making a significant dent in the remaining collection I have left.
Because of my bandaged hands I couldn’t make and knead pizza dough for our usual Monday night pizza. My wife has volunteered to make the dough tomorrow instead. We’re tapering down our perishable food supplies so we don’t have anything perishable left by Saturday when we fly out. So we have specific requirements to use up the remaining vegetables and dairy products (and fruits) over the next few days.
Tomorrow I’ll also get started organising things to pack for the trip. I need to print out our itinerary, train tickets, and the agenda for my Photography Standards meeting in Berlin.
