the_rckBecause the constraints of when I can eat, Scott's sister aimed for the big meal at 1 p.m. That meant we needed to be up there before noon. Scott and Cordelia dithered when I asked them what time I should get us all up. Neither of them wanted to try to figure out how long we'd need.
I made a list of what needed doing and estimated how long each bit would take then set my alarm for 8 a.m. I woke at 7 a.m. and made myself coffee and just slowly got myself moving. Scott and I both showered before we woke Cordelia to have breakfast and open presents.
I took an Ativan right before we left home. I did not have a headache on Christmas Day either.
Scott's sister rather desperately wanted family activities that involved all of us. She bought a bunch of dollar store things, put them in bags, and made us use a big die that she'd labeled in dry erase marker to figure out who traded with who. It was largely pointless. I don't know if she got what she wanted out of it. Her FIL was the only one who was rude about it, but none of us got particularly into being silly with it.
Scott's parents left around 5 p.m. They were heading north and reported that 23 was really, really bad with a lot of cars having slid off the road. Scott and I used that as an excuse to leave not long after that. We were going south on 23, and there wasn't any ice, but I'm glad that we left when we did.
Scott had been hoping to play more games but the games he wants to play don't appeal to his sister's SIL who prefers Wits and Wagers (which Scott hates).
Scott's mother will start radiation on the 2nd. After that, they'll re-evaluate her to see if she needs further surgery and/or chemo. We're all hoping that radiation will be enough, but it'll be months before we know.
I had my follow up mammogram, just for the breast that was biopsied, on Wednesday. That came back clear. After it was done, I asked Cordelia if she wanted to meet somewhere for lunch. She declined. I decided to walk to the Northside Grill, but when I got there, I wasn't hungry, so I walked the path along the Argo Cascades and then home from there. I overdid and was chilled and achy for hours afterward.
Apparently the new version of Ingress doesn't include the option to submit potential portals. The Niantic twitter says that they'll be putting out a separate app 'at some point' that will let people submit possible portals. The new version of Ingress is otherwise buggy as hell, so I don't recommend 'upgrading' to it if you have a choice. I know that Android users have an option for going back to 'classic' Ingress, but so far as I know iOS people don't yet.
I knew that the new program devoured battery power and ran much slower than the old version. It's also visually more difficult for me to follow. I'd just like to find something about the new version that's actually better.
At any rate, I found something that really ought to be a portal and spent about ten minutes trying to figure out how to send it in.
By the time I got home, I'd been walking for about 3.5 hours.
Cordelia spent Wednesday afternoon and evening cleaning her desk (mostly so that the cleaning lady wouldn't do it yesterday).
Yesterday, I started cleaning out the fridge in hopes of getting rid of whatever was sending out a wave of stench every time someone opened the door. I wouldn't have been able to finish unaided, but the cleaning lady arrived when I was partway through. We worked on it together for a while. After I ran out of energy, she scrubbed the rest of it. I put the food back later on, after I'd had a couple of hours to rest.
Cordelia and one of her friends are currently digging through the rest of her room to figure out what's in there that she no longer wants. I think Scott will be making at least one run to donate things tomorrow. Cordelia's friend would also like to tackle Scott's closet, but I'm not convinced that's a good idea when he's not here.
