Feb. 3rd, 2019 10:34 pmI asked today at the library about that series where they ordered v.3 & v.4 the same day and I put holds on both. The guy at the desk shrugged and told me I was out of luck. He wasn't willing to do more than look at the same catalogue record I had and tell me that v.3 is still 'on order.'
I had to return season 5 of Elementary half-watched because there was a hold on it. I'll be able to get another copy soon, but it was annoying because I had expected to be able to renew it.
I spent a while today in bed with my knees aching. I'm not sure why I stayed in bed as lying down didn't help. It's an ache in the muscle right above the kneecap and going down around the sides of the kneecap. Scott asked how much salt I'd had, so I had a gatorade which, weirdly, did help.
It's supposed to be warm (for Michigan in February) and rainy tomorrow. I have an appointment on campus in the afternoon, and I'm considering going down there early so I can walk around a bit, but I'm not sure I want to do that in the rain. If nothing else, raindrops on my phone interfere with playing Ingress due to the interface reading them as touch/input. The interface reads a big drop of rain as touch more reliably than it reads my actual fingers making contact (I have problems that way across multiple phones) as touch.
I figured out a big reason I'm not very enthusiastic about watching things streaming on our TV. I loathe the remote. I mean, I knew I did, but I now know the reason that I want to stomp on it when everyone else is confused by my vitriol. It's the goddamned tremor. The remote is tiny and wants me to navigate by swiping. It will take me about ten tries to get it to stop where I want it to. Back and forth and back and forth and up and down and never stopping where I'm trying to get it to go. I think yesterday was the first time Scott had watched me trying to do it.
I had to explain to Cordelia tonight that me constantly bumping into things is not me being 'silly.' It's me having crappy proprioception. Having the bathroom door stuck partway closed (due to things behind it) and the bathroom cupboard doors open (because they don't stay closed reliably) means that I am guaranteed to bump on one side or the other because there's only just enough space for me to pass through.
