–Went to Noah’s for bagels and Peet’s for caf and decaf beans.
–iPod came in. Sat on the charger in the utility room for 5 hours with no effect (“very low battery, do not disconnect”). Plugged it into the laptop and it sprang to life, syncing with iTunes and loading up my playlist (which I had just put up on iTunes. Right now the battery symbol appears to signify fully charged, though it’s flashing a circle/slash sign and saying “do not disconnect.” Might work after all; it sure is new.
–Watched a mother/child squirrel pair on the fence and the patio for quite a while. The kid was nursing off and on. Very sweet.
