the_rckI slept badly last night because of the head cold. With the c-PAP on, I had a sore throat that wouldn't let me sleep at all. After I took it off, I slept some but with a lot of wakings. I was able to get up to get Cordelia's breakfast and make Scott coffee. He normally cold brews some, but he didn't realize last night that he needed to make more, so he got instant. Scott notices the difference in taste, but Cordelia doesn't so far as I know. Of course, he drinks his black, and she drinks hers with creamer and sugar.
I'm better on the dizziness front because I remembered, last night, that the Epley maneuver is a thing. I couldn't remember what it was called, but searching 'inner ear vertigo physical therapy' found it immediately. I didn't have anywhere to put my laptop where I could see the instructions while doing the movements, so I had Scott read them off. There are only five steps, but they have to be done in a particular order, depending on which ear one's trying to treat. I wasn't sure which side was having the problem, so I just did it for both ears.
I've saved the instructions so that I'll have them locally if I need them when I don't have internet.
We watched The Good Place as it aired last night. I have no idea where the story will go next, but I'm very interested to find out. I'm also glad that I didn't offer it for Yuletide (I almost never offer open TV canons, not unless the whole sign up and writing period is during a hiatus) because I'd most likely want to poke at the big mysteries that the show will eventually address, and I'd guess wrong. I wouldn't mind doing that during a hiatus, but having the ground moving under me while I write would be difficult.
Cordelia's trimester ended yesterday. She'll have exams today, Monday, and Tuesday. Since her school only has five classes per trimester, she'll by home by about 9:30 on Tuesday.
Scott says he doesn't think Cordelia and I should come to wait with him during his mother's surgery. He feels like there's no point in having lots of people there.
My to-do list for today is as follows:
Make grocery list.
Finish reading the two graphic novels that are due Sunday.
Watch the last episode of season three of Elementary as that is also due Sunday.
Clean the dining room table to set up for tomorrow's write-in.
Fill out and send an insurance claim. I have a new Medicare i.d. number, so I need to make a new master form.
Find that one bit of canon for Yuletide that I have misplaced.
Write. Write. Write.
Answer some urgent emails.
