I did no grading or meal plans, but did finish Blood River, and then decided to once again tear out most of my cardigan sleeve to do it properly (25+ years of knitting, I know when an error will bug me if I don't fix it)
+ managed some laundry, despite the washer suddenly coming over all haunted
+ managed some laundry, despite the washer suddenly coming over all haunted
I did errands and chores today, but not laundry, vacuuming, or meal planning (aka guessing what vegetable/protein might need buying to pair with the starch on hand), so tomorrow might give me more reasons to put off my grading
