Oct. 6th, 2016 01:13 pmI slept reasonably well last night and don’t seem to have a headache at this point.
Unfortunately, the bathtub has decided that it’s not going to drain at all. I tried to snake it (sitting in the tub and ignoring how much that hurt), but it’s not possible as long as the stopper’s in. Removing that requires a wrench and manual dexterity and strength that I don’t have. I ended up showering anyway because I was feeling really, really nasty and sweaty. That means there’s about four inches of standing water in the tub now.
And that water all looks vaguely brown. Everywhere else in the house, the brown seems to have cleared up. I’m not sure if it’s just that the shower started brown and there was enough of that not to get diluted or if it stayed brown all the way through my shower.
We had friends over last night. I was a little dubious about it because of how exhausted I was, but by the time they left, I felt awake and kind of cheerful. I wish there was a way to have friends visit more often. I only watched while Scott and our two guests tried out a new competitive game (Scott’s running it at UCon, so he wanted practice).
I’ve got to try to save some resources to be able to cook tonight. I simply haven’t been able to all week, and that ground turkey is not getting fresher. I was thinking that I might bake bread, but cleaning the bread machine pan (spiders have been at it) and putting all of that together might be too much. We do have enough bread for sandwiches for Scott and Cordelia for tomorrow. So maybe bread tomorrow?
I’m actually thinking, at least vaguely, about cutting my hair. I’d have to cut it extremely short in order to address the problem I’m having however, and I’m not sure I’m willing to do that. I’ve had long hair most of my life, and I like it like that. It’s just that there are two spots on my head that never quite seem to get dry now. They’ll still be damp six or seven hours after I shower. They get very wet when I sweat, so any time I go for a walk and any time it’s warmer than 75F in here. These are the areas just behind my ears, and it’s getting so that they itch a lot.
I did my Yuletide sign up yesterday. I’m second guessing myself quite a lot. There are things requested that I probably could write (though none on the zero offers part of the list) but didn’t offer and things not yet requested that I did offer. There are two fandoms where I’m the only offer, and I’m a little nervous about those because one’s a song and the other a video. I’ve never written based on something like that before.
Gah. I didn’t realize how late it had gotten. I’ve got fifty minutes before the cleaning lady arrives. I need to eat lunch and put some things away before then. And it’s been nearly an hour and the level of water in the bathtub hasn’t gone down at all.
