Dec. 16th, 2017 11:03 amScott was supposed to work 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. We got a call around 8 p.m. last night to say that they didn't need him for the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. part. He still went to bed early because of the whole needing to get up at 2 a.m. thing. Then, around 10 p.m., we got a second call saying that they weren't going to need him 3-7 a.m. That made life much easier all around.
Scott moved the larger memory thingies over from my old laptop about half an hour ago. It didn't take long, but it did require doing things that my hands can't be relied on for. I don't have much running just yet, but I do have Firefox up. I guess I'll go with that for a while and see if it starts crashing again. Having deleted all of my cache and cookies means logging in again at places like the library website (which is, of course, minor, but... It'll take pulling out my library card for the ID number).
While we were all sitting in the living room last night, the laptop froze. I waited to see if it would come back then mentioned it to Scott. Cordelia said, "Yeah. Get used to that." Apparently, this laptop will just suddenly freeze and need to be force restarted. She says it could happen anywhere from once a day to once a month but 'really isn't a big deal.'
I can tell that she doesn't do much in the way of work that could be lost by such a crash. I do, though, so I guess I'm going to have to get into the habit of saving every thirty seconds or so.
Just before I went to bed last night, I got a couple of really nice comments on the two more recent fics in my Sky High series. Naturally, I had to stay up long enough to respond.
I slept pretty solidly last night but wasn't able to use my c-PAP because we ran out of distilled water. I decided that the little bit we had should go to Scott's bi-PAP because he would need better quality sleep to work twelve hours safely. I haven't got any plans to do much today. I didn't have a headache when I got up, but one is starting up. I think it's a sinus thing rather than sleep/lack of sleep related. I've already had my morning tea and breakfast, so it's not that.
Scott and Cordelia and a family we know will be going to see The Last Jedi tomorrow sometime. Scott has bought tickets already, at my urging. He keeps thinking that he can show up at the theater with a few minutes to spare for something like this and expect to be able to buy a ticket.
I decided against signing up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandom_stocking because I couldn't come up with anything that interested me enough to motivate me to do the hard work of writing up requests. No, not quite true-- I couldn't come up with anything I wanted enough that I thought I could actually get.
I did a post onholiday_wishes on the 13th. The first four items are all things requiring time rather than money. The remaining five all involve $$ and range from DW time (not that expensive) to hypoallergenic pony territory. Some people on the community are asking for things that are simpler/less expensive/more desperately needed, so if you feel like giving, browsing the community might turn up something that speaks to you.
