Summer Day 12

Decided not to run since it's fast sunday. I also got a ride to church for the same reason (it was a pretty nice day though). I'm almost done with Wrestling the Angel so I'll need a new pre-Church book to read. I blessed the sacrament today, so I brought two ties: a regular one to bless the sacrament in and then my red-white-and-blue cravat for afterwards (because independence). Testimonies were fine, as was Sunday School. 

Napped at home, broke my fast and then helped project new routes on the wall. Then I went upstairs, napped a bit more and started operation cassava flour. Peeling the cassava was easy, though I was extra unsure if I got all the skin off or not. Then I soaked the cassava and grated it. I wish I had a finer grater to make the flour less chunky but alas I did not. While grating I watched Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and then the first couple of episodes of Cowboy Bebop. I've quite enjoyed the both of them. After that, it was time to squeeze the water out of the flour by putting it cheesecloth, squeezing and then squeezing some more. That took a while, accompanied by a somewhat awkward religious conversation with the coworker staying here. Not sure how many cups of flour I ended up with, so we'll see how many casabe I'm able to make tomorrow.

I do feel somewhat guilty about this, but I persuaded said coworker that he shouldn't come to church with us today by mentioning how roommate and I go extra early because of meetings. He kinda of drives me crazy and I didn't want that refuge intruded on. So yeah, I'm a bad saint. 

I'm feeling tired (6 hours of sleep really isn't good for me but that's around what I've been getting) but otherwise fine. I think I really am euthymic, let's see if I stay this way. I have some work to do tomorrow morning and then I'm cooking all afternoon (and have to come a bit earlier since I wasn't able to make my sofrito tonight).
