Jan. 2nd, 2016 09:23 amI forgot to mention— Scott and the girls took the tree down on New Year’s Eve. We haven’t moved the table and exercise bike back in yet. I think Scott just didn’t want to deal with it. He did comment that he likes having a twelve year old daughter because she can do so much more of the work. He had Cordelia and her friend carry all of the decorations to storage in the basement.
Scott made my try to nap yesterday because I was almost nodding off during the afternoon. Napping is always challenging because I don’t tend to schedule my eating and drinking in such a way as to make that work well. I may try to nap today, anyway, because I only got about five hours of sleep last night. I was physically uncomfortable no matter what I did, and my dreams irritated me. The final straw that got me out of bed was feeling twice like I was getting very mild electric shocks to my right leg. That was very weird and not conducive to sleeping.
I’m still trying to get myself to start writing something, anything. A couple of people have suggested exchanges, but none of those I’ve looked at have particularly appealed to me. I think the problem is that, while I do know some big, popular fandoms, I don’t actually care enough about any of them to want to write for them. I’ve been looking at things and saying, "Well, I could do that, but I don’t care whether or I do or not."
My mother just emailed to say that she’d like to come visit tomorrow. That’s the last time when she could visit and still get to spend time with Cordelia. My step-father won’t be coming because their dog, Mel, is pretty old now and not doing very well. Someone needs to stay in Lawton with her. It’s been three or four years since I last saw my step-father, but if I can only see one of them, I’d rather see my mother. I have no idea what on earth we’ll find to do. I can’t really walk around, and, while I know my mother would happily take Cordelia out without me, I’m not sure Cordelia will be enthusiastic (or accepting) about the idea of a museum visit or shopping trip. I suppose I should look online to see if anything is happening tomorrow that might be interesting.
