We went to Bob Evans this morning for breakfast. Cordelia and I both had chocolate chip pancakes. I think I prefer the cinnamon pancakes, but I'm glad to have tried the chocolate chip. We had to wait about ten minutes to be seated, but they got the food out to us very quickly.

Since we were on that side of town, we went to Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods. Cordelia got one book. I got four. Scott picked up a present for our niece. Her birthday isn't until late November, but we're now covered for that. We stopped for bubble tea on the way home. We got there four minutes before they opened which didn't seem too long to wait, at least not to me and Scott. Cordelia was all for turning around and leaving.

There was a meeting for families from Cordelia's school that interested in Girl Scouts this afternoon. We didn't even try to go because there were so many things that Scott needed to get done that there just wasn't a way to make it work. Right now, it looks like the organizer for the school is trying to encourage the Cadettes to join a small troop at a private school. That troop has two active leaders but can't take very many girls because it meets at a private house. The meetings would be weekly and a fair distance from here. I'm not sure if we can make the logistics work. I'm also not sure if Cordelia wants to do it or not. I don't plan to force her.

I am definitely going to call the surgeon's office tomorrow. I don't like being in this much pain. My brain is clearer without the hydrocodone, but I'm exhausted because I hurt. I think that's a big reason I haven't done all of the things I hoped to today.

I have to come up with a character idea for our group's new game. booniverse is going to run a Stargate: SG-1 game. Scott has a solid character idea; I don't have even the faintest glimmerings of one. I need something by Wednesday. Scott suggested a Tok'ra, but I pointed out that the game is going to be set late enough in the timeline (post Orii) for Tok'ra to be kind of out of place. Plus, I'm not sure I want to play a Tok'ra.

But it's not like I have a better idea. Scott actually googled to see if he could turn up any discussions of character ideas for a game set at that point, but he came up empty.

I'm sure that part of the trouble is that I've had other things on my mind (and that, what with the hydrocodone, my mind wasn't working very well). Our group meets Wednesday evening, so I want some sort of character concept by then, preferably a character concept that I've at least given the GM a little time to poke at.

I think it doesn't help that I haven't actually watched the show in years.

Suggestions welcome.
