Jun. 18th, 2019 10:28 amYesterday, I did a lot of Ingress because I had four hours between appointments. I managed enough missions to get my gold badge for Spec Ops. I had meant only to get closer to done than I'd started. I knew there were six missions in the cemetery between the hospital (where I had PT) and central campus. There were also a lot of portals back there that I'd never hacked or captured.
I spent about two hours wandering the roads there. I think there was only one portal that needed stepping onto the grass (I was avoiding doing that mostly because the ground was seriously soggy. I really didn't want to fall), and I probably could have found an approach to it that wouldn't have needed that, but it would have been a lot of extra walking.
I'd intended to catch the bus to downtown from in front of the cemetery, but I just missed it. Instead of standing for 15-20 minutes to wait for the next one, I walk a couple of blocks to the main campus bus stop that has lots of benches (about a dozen different routes intersect there, some city buses and others university buses).
When I got downtown, I bought a late lunch before my appointment. I considered not getting anything, but I was hungry. The things I'd brought with me were simply what I could pull together without opening the fridge or cooking anything. I got a sandwich at Which Wich.
My psychiatrist wants me to keep experimenting with the CBD lotion. She said that I may find something more systemic more useful but that most of the common delivery methods carry risks for me because of my food/additive sensitivities and asthma. She thinks it worth trying, though. She just wants me to bear in mind that the label information may not accurately reflect what's in the product. Sometimes, things will say that there's no THC but still contain enough of that to make someone high.
The appointment finished at 4:15, and the bus I wanted was leaving at 4:18 with the next one at 4:48. It probably would have been sensible to go to the bus station and sit to wait, but I did two more Ingress missions instead. I still caught the next bus; I just caught it several stops away from the station.
I still need one more gold badge to get to 12th level in Ingress. I have the points for 13th. That will require earning an additional gold badge, but I'm very close to a couple of those, both of which just need me to go to downtown or central campus or some place similarly portal dense, over and over and over.
By the time I got home yesterday, I was very stiff, and my joints were wanting to set like concrete whenever I stopped moving. I showered not long after I got home (the timing was bad for doing it immediately). That helped a little bit but only while I was under the hot water.
I ended up not doing my lying on the floor PT exercise because I was completely certain that I wouldn't be able to get back up again. I haven't decided about it for this morning yet. I'm better, but I'm not sure I'm that much better.
We've lost power twice in the last couple of days. It was out when we got back from lunch at Palm Palace on Sunday, and it went out yesterday morning while I was trying to take care of some things before heading out to my appointment. I had a good hour and a half before I needed to leave, but most of the food preparation I'd wanted to do fell by the wayside. I packed some food, anyway, but it wasn't what I'd hoped for.
The DTE website showed the same map for the outage yesterday as it had for the one on Sunday, so I'm assuming that it was the same problem. It was kind of a flat triangle that, on its longest side, went a block or two west of us and a block or two east. It's possible that the reports were skewed because it went in the direction of the school and a church, neither of which necessarily had people inside to notice.
Today's mammogram day. I'm about to take an Ativan and get dressed. I've got an hour and a half before I need to leave, but I also need to find my bathrobe. The robes they have there scratch horribly enough that I'd really rather just sit in the waiting room topless. Once I've done that, I'll decide whether or not I have time to cook the chicken burgers (I meant to do it before PT yesterday). It would be nice to take a lunch with me since I'll be there for at least three hours (two appointments).
