Various updates

A TA turned out to have changed his course schedule without telling me, and needed to have his teaching assignment changed. Fortunately it was a simple solution, if not a great one (which involved putting a rank newbie into the first class of the week). Also just got given another TA to find work for, but this one solves a nagging issue where I'd stuck a guy with back to back classes.

Went to the doctor today, things going fine, no earwax in my ears, and my cholesterol is 110 (I'm told that sub-100 would be nice, but 110 isn't bad, especially since my blood pressure is so low I have to worry about rising from a squat too quickly lest I pass out!).

Edit: Oh, and tonight I make couscous for the first time. Been getting tired of rice, and the last few times I've had rice my blood sugar spiked, so time to try something else anyway. ;) I found I still have a teeny saucepan sitting around that's the right size for making a single serving.

I use a rice cooker myself, but I have to freeze any leftover or I eat it too soon.

Yeah, I used a rice cooker for a while, but I tend not to treat teflon coatings well, and it was starting to get scraped.

Dude. Wood or plastic only. Teflon is not good for you if you scrape it. Yeah, the fluorine compound itself isn't necessarily dangerous, but the killer GLUE they use to hold it on the pan is nasty stuff.
