isozymeapril's been a lot.
today i made black peppercorn and rosemary old fashioneds (needed more pepper), hung art, and threw away a bunch of old ikea instruction booklets and an air mattress with a hole in it.
changed scab-cat's bandage vest; was lime green, now fluorescent orange.
learned a bunch about the history of screws.
looked up the past twenty years of award winning bearded iris varieties.
