Aug. 9th, 2015 11:47 amScott and I stayed up later than we should have again last night. This time, I also slept later than I should, so I'm at least not quite as exhausted. I can't say that I'm not tired, but I'm not as tired as I was yesterday.
I didn't end up either napping or link finding yesterday. I lay down for about half an hour, but I had reflux issues, so I got up again. As to link finding... I'm not sure what happened. I just didn't do it.
Scott is very determined to get rid of cable. We have no solutions to the problems I foresee.
In order to get current episodes of Girl Meets World online, one has to have a cable account and sign in with it at the Disney channel website. Netflix does not seem to have even old episodes of the show. We can buy episodes from old seasons as digital downloads on Amazon, but we don't want to spend money on any show, we have no way to store such things locally, and downloading a single episode is likely to take two or three hours (we downloaded a movie once. It took ten hours).
As to my exercise programs-- I've bought some DVDs of both programs. It won't be the variety I'm used to, but it will be something. The problem I foresee is that I'm likely not ever to do them when I don't have a specific time when I must do them or miss them altogether. A DVD, I can put in any time, including 'five minutes from now.' I know, based on past experience with things like using the treadmill or the exercise bike, that there will always be something else I need (want) to do first that justifies delaying just a little longer until, suddenly, I'm completely out of time and still haven't exercised.
I don't like watching things online, so I suspect that I will simply stop watching anything except Netflix DVDs. I've tried Netflix streaming, but it's a PITA. It works better on my laptop than on Apple TV, but doing that means I can't do anything else while I watch which means I have zero interest in watching. But, really, the only things I watch that I care about are Antiques Roadshow and my exercise programs. Antiques Roadshow is available on the PBS website, but... I don't care about it enough to deal with that.
Cordelia complained all evening that she was tired. We kept telling her to go to bed, and she kept refusing. Around 9:30, she actually said it was too late to go to bed early. We pointed out, in response, that it would be an hour and a half earlier than when she usually gets ready for bed.
I finished a book yesterday and was fairly dissatisfied with it. I'd heard about how funny it was and what a great satire it was, and I didn't see any of that. Maybe it's that I don't know the other books of that period and so am missing context.
I started another book, but I don't think I'll finish it. It's supposedly non-fiction, but it reads like historical fiction, complete with detailed conversations that may have happened but that the author is clearly making up entirely. I'm not sure I'm interested in 600 pages of something that's not really history and that doesn't admit as much. I rather suspect that the book wouldn't be 600 pages if the author weren't making things up.
I tried a Zevia on Friday and didn't suffer any ill effects, so I think I'm safe with smaller amounts of erythritol. That's a relief since it means I won't have to make preparing meals that much harder for Scott's family. In a couple of weeks, I'll try more erythritol, maybe a Zevia a day for a while. I just don't want to do it this week what with the biopsy coming up. Of course, the following week, we have Cordelia's dermatology appointment, so maybe then isn't good either.
