Sep. 12th, 2016 11:41 amMy knee was doing better yesterday up until Scott and I went to the library and then walked half a block to a restaurant for lunch. Now, the stupid thing hurts as much as it did before. This leaves me debating what to do today. I need to go to the post office which is a block and a half from my appointment. I was planning to take the bus which would let me off about a block from the post office (and also two blocks from my appointment), but catching the bus requires walking down to the stop which is about four blocks. I also wanted to do some Ingress while downtown because I don’t get that opportunity very often, but I don’t see that happening.
I am less anxious about going out for my appointment than I expected to be. I think it might just be that I’m exhausted and so kind of not processing anything. Or it might be that I still have two hours before I need to leave (unless I want lunch downtown, but I think that would be more walking than I can do). At any rate, everything feels very distant and not dreadfully important. I will get to the post office and to my appointment because I know that I have to, but I suspect I won’t do much else today at all.
The sad thing is that I slept better last night than I had for a while. I took a long time falling asleep (I was up for the bathroom three times in the first two hours), but even when I wasn’t asleep I was very relaxed and almost there.
We had lunch yesterday at a sandwich place near the library. Scott enjoyed his. Mine wasn’t bad while I was eating it, but it sat like a huge lump in my stomach, to the point that I couldn’t lie down and couldn’t eat much for dinner.
I still haven’t finished the Social Security forms. I’m hoping to do it either before I leave for my appointment or while I’m sitting in the waiting room there. I have almost finished my letter. I had to move it from TextEdit to Pages because printing in Pages gives me access to more options with the printer. I don’t know why I don’t get the option to print double sided from TextEdit, but I don’t. Hopefully, my exchange partner doesn’t mind a long letter that doesn’t say much of anything.
Scott canceled our Earthlink service last night. It took about an hour and a half on hold before he could talk to someone and another half hour to get the job done. Please, if you email any of us, check to make sure that you have our Gmail addresses. The Earthlink addresses won’t work anymore. I’ve been using Gmail as my default for the last five or six years, but some of my relatives (my parents) still use the Earthlink address simply because it comes up first when they compose email.
I have about twice as many CDs from the library as I wanted for the week. Part of that is that some things with long waitlists came in all at once, and part of that is that I once again forgot to check how many CDs were included under each title I requested. I usually aim for 4-7 CDs a week. Right now, I’ve got about 15. I think I need to look and see which have holds on them and give those first priority. I’ve also got some DVDs that have holds on them. One is something I want to try to get Cordelia to watch with me, but she may not want to just because I picked it. It’s the new Electra Woman and Dyna Girl movie. I expect it to be pretty cheesy, but I thought it would be fun.
As far as Ingress goes, I’ve gotten the bronze badges in most of the categories in which I’m ever likely to get badges at all. I don’t have the one for doing missions yet (I’ve done two and need to do five for the bronze), and I don’t have the one for destroying enemy resonators (I’m at about 1000 and need 2000). The other badges I don’t have are things I don’t think I’m ever going to do anything toward at all— Glyph hacking, recruitment, and mission days.
I’ve been assigned my posting date for Iddy Iddy Bang Bang. It’ll be next Sunday. I’m trying to decide whether or not, given the length and the fandom and the subject matter, it’s worth making much effort to find a beta reader. I’m pretty sure it could use a fresh set of eyes. There are two more places I can try for finding a beta reader, but they’re both long shots.
