Good news: our long term HVAC folks came by (not making Christine irritated by some miracle, as she had waved them off wanting to get input from another company) and fixed the condensation drainage issue. Christine is happy with the solution.
Bad news: dishwasher isn't washing any more, no water getting in. Probably could be fixed, maybe, by a willing to fix fix it person, but it is a very old dishwasher. I am pleased someone jiggled the right things to fix it after the house inspection found it not working, but i will be happy to get a very modern dishwasher now.
Depending on how quickly that can happen.
--== MORE NOTES FROM THE LONG WEEKEND ==--
Did cook the last giant butternut squash. Waiting for the air conditioning to be stable before roasting the seeds. Think making the butternut-mac-and-cheese for dinner both put moisture and heat in the house, that meant the air conditioning ran out of condensation storage early last night.
* butternut-mac-and-cheese: YES!
* roasted butternut and cucumber salad: interesting. (Also, bell pepper, a hard cheese, toasted pecans, a few craisins, ancho, sumac, black pepper) Maybe with more salt and some sort of acid
Next - maybe dehydrate the rest of the mashed squash?

Currently in gladiolus madness. They keep being beaten down by rain so i'm picking them and bringing them in. And the deer haven't been eating the ones outside the fences! The pink and yellow (Priscilla, maybe?) are nearing the end of their bloom. There are a few of the salmon pink glads coming into bloom ("Rose supreme" maybe). Beginning blooming in between is a magenta glad (possibly "Plum tart"). I'd planted them outside the fence and haven't seen many of the flowers (thank you deer) but the glad happy deer have moved on (or i just got to the flowers first). I also dug up some of the bulbs to move in the fence to the no-food for dodder bed, so some have bloomed there.

* Flour had bugs but cornstarch worked for roux.
