I'm not sure if our cleaning lady is coming today, but as she now lives close enough not to need the bus to get her, I think she might. That means I need to do a bunch of tidying so that she doesn't put away things that we need in places where we can't find them.

Scott and Cordelia plan to binge watch the new season of Stranger Things, so I think they're hoping that the cleaning lady won't come because that will take a three hour bite out of their afternoon which will come on top of me making them go out for lunch so that we can spend it together. I'm not sure where we'll go because I'm not sure what's open. Also, my sister and her son will be coming for lunch tomorrow, and we agreed on Japanese as likely to provide both food I can eat and food she can eat. I love Totoro but maybe not two days in a row's worth.

Scott had a mini meltdown yesterday, via text, because he couldn't figure out how it was going to be possible to do everything that needs doing this weekend. I made a list, figured out how long each thing would likely take, and spread them across the next few days. He has to work tomorrow, and his parents want us to visit for a day. The family thing had to be either today or Saturday, and we weren't sure when my sister would come (she made herself sick by driving from Atlanta to Kalamazoo in one day with just her 12 year old for company).

I read two books yesterday, and the backs of my hands and the backs of my wrists went numb. They're better today, but I think I spent too much time holding the books up and open. I think that the holding things open is harder on my hands than the weight is, though the weight isn't great. One of the books was a volume of manga, so it wasn't dreadfully heavy, but (possibly because it was the second of the books) I dropped it a few times. I took about three times as long to finish it as I expected.
