Not As Expected

pshaw_ravenToday was going to be my shopping day, but Fox's parents are driving up to see us, so I postponed. If it were just a trip into Middleburg I wouldn't have, but I had Fleming Island and Jax stops as well, so I'm just going to do it tomorrow. And honestly, the main reason I wanted to go today is that I have a library book ready. Our county library is open for limited hours, with each branch only being open on certain days of the week. Oh wait ... I may have to do this Friday, Clay Hill isn't open tomorrow. Anyway, you have to reserve books online then go pick them up. They don't want people just browsing in the stacks, which makes sense.
I was also in the middle of packing up a simple bento lunch, which I partially finished and stuck in the fridge for later eating. A spicy barbeque seitan sandwich with broccoli slaw, homemade protein bar, and some herb-flavor crackers. I'd have liked some red onion for the sandwich and maybe a spinach salad, but that's why I'm going shopping - out of produce. And the malabar plants aren't quite big enough to start harvesting leaves yet.
The garden is doing decently well. The serrano pepper is covered with peppers, I have a couple of Seminole pumpkins, and even some beans coming up. Also the usual contingent of herbs and flowers. I'm trying to get some more plants going by soaking seeds as if for sprouting, then putting the sprouts out into the garden beds. It worked with the arugula, so maybe it will work with some other things.
RunDisney signups opened yesterday morning. We didn't manage to get in during the passholder registration, but we did snag Dopey Challenge spots this year! They'd sold out of every single race within a few hours, the exception being Castaway Cay, which you have to go on a Disney Cruise to do. The speculation is that they have a much more limited number of bibs this year, coupled with increased demand because of self-quarantine stir-crazies and the fact that WDW's 50th anniversary is in 2021 meant that everything was gone much faster than usual. Most years you can register for the marathon almost all the way up to the night before. Anyway, that gives us something to look forward to and train for.
I'm killing a little time until the parental units get here. I cooked up a batch of nectar for the hummingbird feeders and it's cooling on the counter now. But I also sat down to check my email and Crowley materialized on my lap, and I haven't had the heart to move him.
