Yesterday was my step-father’s birthday. He tells me that turning sixty two means he’s 'semi-retired' and that that means that, when people ask him to do things, he can say no. He’s a professor of social work, with tenure, so I don’t know what he’s actually meaning by that. I know that he’s not intending to keep working in the long term because part of the point of them buying the house in Michigan was to move there when he fully retires. I’m just not sure when he’s going to do that.
He and my mother really want Cordelia to come visit while they’re in Michigan this summer. My step-father talked about her being old enough to take the train to Kalamazoo. The big problem is that she’s not actually interested in spending a week in Lawton unless she’s got a friend with her, and I’m not sure who we could ask. Her best friend isn’t allowed to spend the night away from her parents, not until she’s sixteen. Other friends… I don’t know. I need to talk to Cordelia about it. I don’t think there’s a great hurry, given that it’s February and given that we have no plans whatsoever for this summer.
I haven’t done anything at all this week. Time has kind of slipped away from me. I’m still hoping to do some writing this afternoon, but I’m not sure it will happen. I’m very, very groggy. I have no idea why. I slept pretty well, and I lay down for a couple of hours this morning when I felt tired. I did wake with a migraine, but an Amerge took care of that. I suppose that might be why I’m still kind of not all here. That’s not how I usually react to a migraine, but it happens sometimes.
I’m finding that I’m having a hard time getting myself to sit in the living room and watch TV with Scott recently. It’s not that I don’t want to see the shows, but at the same time, it is. I’m having trapped feeling anxiety issues with TV episodes, and I really don’t know what to do about it. I like Supergirl. I like Agent Carter. I’m curious to see what happens with The Magicians, and I find The Flash reasonable brain candy. I’m less sold on Legends of Tomorrow, but I’m curious to see what they do with time travel because that’s something I love to see explored. I’m just not convinced that they’re going to do anything actually interesting with the idea.
I have asked Scott’s mother and sister if one or both of them can take Cordelia bra shopping. She needs to go but really, really doesn’t want to. She’s convinced that I can just go online and order her bras without her being involved at all, and it really doesn’t work like that. Scott could take her, but I think that would be extra stressful for everyone involved. He has no idea what to look for in a bra, and I know Cordelia wouldn’t allow him to see her in anything she tried on, so he wouldn’t have a chance to judge fit (and would he know?). I’m hoping Scott’s mother can do it, but the timing may not work. Scott’s parents are leaving, some time around the end of the month, for a long trip to Florida. I think they’ll be gone all of March and part (all?) of April.
