To-do list

For Tuesday, February 24, 8:00–10:00 p.m. CST:

~ Check thread count on pillowcases with thread counter. Any threads missing?

~ Wonder why I bought that magnifying thread counter at Phil’s Stationery in 2016. Wait — this is why.

~ Spot check W2 and W3 for alphabetization errors.

~ Consider whether W2 and W3 are adequate shorthand to identify Merriam-Webster’s Second and Third Unabridgeds. Consider whether unabridgeds is an acceptable plural.

~ Check if the recycling goes out tomorrow.

~ Think about the semi-cute word binfluencer. In my neighborhood, I seem to be a binfluencer, especially given that our even-week recycling pickup schedule changes to odd weeks when a month spans five weeks. It’s crazy.

~ Does Merriam-Webster have binfluencer?

~ Magnets, how do they work?

~ Think about Rafael Musa’s clever Saturday Stumper clue: “Spot-checked?” Answer: DOGSAT.

~ Think about getting a dog. Drop that thought.

~ Check if it’s safe.

There’s now a report that the speech could be more than two hours long. Time to alphabetize the spices.
