Feb. 29th, 2020 04:27 pmI've got a book on CD from the library. 11 of the 12 CDs read fine on my laptop (via USB connection), but I can only get the 8th CD to play in our DVD/CD player in the living room. Even there, most of it won't play. I'm not sure why because the disk looks clean and unmarred. I hope the rest of the book is intelligible without CD 8.
I've got a DVD that can't be renewed and two books that can't be. I won't finish all of them. I'm going to prioritize the DVD because it has a longer waitlist than either of the books. I've also got about half a dozen comics/graphic novels that I might manage tonight or tomorrow morning.
I'm a little groggy this afternoon. Cordelia woke me at 8:30 this morning. At that point, I'd had less than six hours of sleep. I ended up taking another half tablet of halcion and got another three and a half hours of sleep. Scott told me that I should sleep as long as I needed to, but then he also got cranky about the fact that we had a deadline for being able to do a test drive today.
We just got in under the wire on the test drive; we arrived at the dealership at 2 p.m. We tried a Subaru Legacy 2020; our old car was a 2016 Legacy. The 2020, according to Scott, drives like the 2016. I can still get in and out without issues, and Scott doesn't have to duck low in order to see out the front. We'd have liked to have the option to get something used, but we're on a very tight timeline. We've only got a couple of weeks left on the insurance paid rental.
I've been spending a lot of time reading long fics. Many of them are incomplete (probably permanently), and many are only mediocre. I just haven't had the wherewithal to work at anything.
I haven't read much of anything here on DreamWidth this month. I'm not going to backread at this point because there's just too much. Even thinking about it is anxiety inducing.
