 I've had my fan in my window the past few days because it gets super hot in the apartment around 8pm and my room is the warmest. So I've been running the fan at night until I wake up too cold and turn it off.

This morning I get up and the fan is turned a little bit, just enough that one of the feet is off the sill. It's fine I say. The thing is, the apartment becomes a wind tunnel if my window is open, the balcony door is open and my bedroom door is open. With a north wind blowing directly into my room, a gust knocked the fan over.

I was sitting on the floor petting Mara. 

So the fan fell, Mara bolted, the fan knocked my grow light over, it toppled to the floor and I just sat there.

The fan is fine, but now sitting on the floor. The grow light frame is bent but the light fixture part is fine. 

I'm going to PA this weekend and I guess I'll be building a new grow light frame that isn't so flimsy.

 Meal planning ugh

So I'm still eating mediocre meat sauce. Whatever. 

I made enough pasta to go with it for tonight and tomorrow night. Then Thursday night I'm going to make two recipes from a book called "An Invitation to Indian Cooking" by Madhur Jaffrey which is really awesome and written in the 70s. But it focuses mostly on food from the Delhi region of cuisine in the north. So I'm going to make kheema, which is a ground meat recipe and moong dal and rice. I think I'm all out of stew meat from the deer so I've got ground and roasts left. I've got a lot more ground so I'd rather find more recipes that use that. 

That should last me through the weekend and into next week for dinners. 

I also need to bake some things. I think I'm going to run to the co op tonight or tomorrow night, leaning towards tonight. But I'm going to make cornbread tonight for lunch tomorrow, probably. Although it depends on when I go to the co op. Then tomorrow I've got squash that is thawing out which will be muffins and crustless pie, and probably gingersnaps too. The gingersnaps will be for my parents this weekend and the rest for me. 

I also need to get sidejob work done. Hmmm. I think I'd better get some things done.
