I overdid yesterday. My bad foot hurts like the dickens. Just taking off my sock last night was painful. Normally, I shower on Wednesday mornings, but I think this week I'll put it off until Thursday to give my foot a chance to recover.

I'm not quite done link finding for metanews. Most of what I have left to do is LJ and DW stuff, though, and the other link finder doesn't yet have their stuff in, so I'm not delaying anything by not being done myself.

I am kind of burned out on meta about Age of Ultron. There are dozens of posts about it on LJ and DW, and I'm not convinced we should link all of them, but I have no idea how to select what to link. Right now, it's mostly a matter of accident, but I've seen several posts on my own reading list that I haven't marked for linking and probably should have. I wish we had the time and staff to do a dedicated post just for Age of Ultron meta. I think that would make sense.

I am realizing that it's a really, really good thing I don't mind spoilers. I hit a lot of them, doing stuff for metanews. Most of them are for things I'm never going to watch or read but still. I mean, I have a fair idea of who lives and who dies in each new Game of Thrones episode, and I've never watched a single second of the show.

Scott worked late again last night. He did make it back to town in time to vote but only just. The school bond proposal passed. The state proposition for raising the sales tax to fund road repair failed overwhelmingly (I think the figure I saw was 85% against). I voted for that just because I don't think we'll get anything better and because the roads are in desperate need of work.

Cordelia and I considered several different options for dinner tonight (I actually thought about cooking. My foot hadn't started to really hurt at that point, so I thought I could), but we ended up with pizza. We got enough for Scott to have some, too, and Cordelia will have dinner for several nights, just from the leftovers of her pizza. It wasn't cheap, so I hope we can work something better out for the nights Scott works late next week (there are now four vacancies on second shift, so there will be lots more overtime. Scott thinks his third overtime shift this week will be a go in early on Saturday, but he's not sure yet).

I'm up right now because I was having serious reflux trouble. I'm very surprised by that since I haven't had anything of the sort in many, many months. I ate at about the usual time tonight, and I didn't eat anything I hadn't had before. I have no idea why this time's different. I just knew that, if I stayed lying down, I was going to be in real trouble, so I got up and started reading stuff on my laptop. After I post this, I'm going to try going back to bed. It's been two hours. Hopefully, I can lie down safely now. Thank goodness I can sleep in.

Oh, I forgot to mention earlier-- I got the results of my blood tests last night. They sent them to me through the online patient portal. There are a few things that look borderline and that I don't know what they are. None of them are far off; usually, it's only one unit of measure, whether that's a one or a one tenth or whatever.

My cholesterol, blood sugar, lipids, and thyroid are all fine.

My vitamin D levels are seriously low. I expect my doctor will call me to tell me what sort of supplement I should start taking. Hopefully, it will be something Scott can find at the Kroger pharmacy when he picks up my prescriptions tonight.

And the spot where they drew the blood has a rather spectacular bruise.

I think I'm giving myself an amnesty on the question of pursuing DW and LJ meta relating to Age of Ultron. I'm simply overwhelmed by the volume of posts (and that's just on my reading lists and links from my reading lists). I've written up nineteen links for AoU so far this week. Most of them are to blogs and similar sites, so I probably ought to get a few more LJ and/or DW posts. I'm just finding myself totally unmotivated.

That's partly because I'm burned out on AoU and partly because LJ and DW posts are a PITA because we always ask permission before linking. That means I have to write up the potential link, stick the write up in a Google doc just for things we don't yet have permission to post, ask for permission and then track the mod in box to see if we get permission. If we do get permission, I cut and paste the link text to the main document. If we don't hear anything, it sits for two weeks, waiting, before we delete the link. If we get a definite no, we delete the link immediately, of course. Most people who want to say no just don't ever answer us. At least, I assume that's why they don't answer.
