This is being somewhat of a bleeeagh week. I’m back in classes after last week’s, and while both of them had great discussions this week, I feel burnt out. I looked at the sprouts this morning and realized that I had neither watered them nor turned on their lights yesterday. Several flats-full were lying face-down in the potting mix, looking very sad. I watered the most dire-looking ones and then ran out of water and time. I’ll water the rest at lunch.
<p>Except for having cookies from the reference exposition for dinner two nights in a row, I’m still managing plenty of local food, mostly in the form of sandwiches. We’re finally starting to really run out of local veggies. I don’t want to go back to bland supermarket vegetables from who-knows-where, but at the same time I’m sort of guiltily looking forward to it, just because I’ll be able to eat pretty much whatever vegetables I want. It wouldn’t be healthy for me to live on bread and beans until June, and all the supermarket veggies are pretty much equally evil. I’ll try to pick US or regionally-grown stuff where I can, but there isn’t much there. I’ll see what I can do for organics, but the supermarket plastic-wraps all the organic stuff for contamination reasons, and I’m not sure I can afford the organic stuff at the co-op in Cambridge on a regular basis. I’m not as dismayed as this probably sounds; I’m just tired.</p>
