Jan. 8th, 2018 08:35 pmI managed two fics for Fandom Stocking. Timing's been bad this year. The first message about needy stockings came the day that I started a stretch of several days with no time/energy for writing. The second one... Well, I commented on the post around the time Cordelia left for school and said that I had writing time for the next eight hours. Eight and a half hours later...
At any rate, one story is in a fandom I've written before, and the other is something new to me. The latter... I'm worried that I made some obvious canonical errors, but that's the one I started this morning and finished around noon.
I finally called to try to set up PT for my elbow and was informed that the university medical system considers elbows to be hands. Hands don't get PT; they get OT. All of the possible locations are massively inconvenient, so I'm looking at going outside of the university system. The place where Scott went last year isn't very far. It's at that awkward distance where I can't actually walk that far but would feel ridiculous taking the bus because I'd ride for less than half of the distance (from one stop to the very next one) I need to cover to get there. Walking to the stop to catch the bus and from the next stop to the PT clinic would cover as much ground as (more actually) as the bus did, and I feel ridiculous contemplating it.
I also scheduled an appointment to get my eyes checked. That's two weeks from now. I think I will have to give in and get progressives. I really don't want to deal with them, but having reading and distance glasses is awkward, and I'm almost certain my vision's getting worse, distance and middle range vision, anyway. I haven't really done much in close.
I'm going to crash as early tonight as I can because my eyeballs ache and have been doing so for hours. I only need to be up another 50 minutes.
I'm also having weird cravings for salt. Not specific salty foods, just salt in the could pour some into my hand and eat it sense. My general assumption when I get very specific cravings (like, say, for chicken liver or spinach) is that there's something lacking in my diet and that, if there's not a reason not to, I should just go ahead, but salt? There should be more than enough salt in my diet already. My blood pressure has always been on the very low end of the normal range, so I'm not worried about extra salt from that direction, at least.
I added salt to my coffee this morning. Enough salt to taste but not, apparently, enough to taste bad.
