Mar. 12th, 2020 06:49 pmI seem to have eaten something that my digestive system doesn't like. I have no idea what it could be. Well, no, the most likely thing is that the turkey wrap I bought at the hospital cafeteria yesterday was a bit off, that or the half and half I put in my coffee there. I bought food there because Wednesday morning timing meant I had to leave home before I had my coffee or anything to eat. Scott dropped me off an hour and a half early for my appointment because he had an appointment elsewhere.
The digestive thing is a little awkward as the cleaning lady is here right now. That means the bathroom is inaccessible for at least an hour. There's one in the basement, but I don't like to use it because the valves are old. It tends to keep running after being flushed. Also, it's very cold down there.
More local things are getting canceled. The University of Michigan has shifted to remote instruction for all classes through the end of the term (late April). I have no idea how they're handling labs and the like. I'm sure they're managing something; I just haven't been curious enough to try to dig up the information.
I think I'm on track for my word count goal for the year. I'm slightly more than 25% of the way there (26K words out of 100K words).
I have three unread library books, one of them due this weekend. I have two unwatched library DVDs and a partially watched DVD lecture set. Scott and I have an unwatched Netflix DVD. I'm going to see how many of these I can get through by Sunday.
I've been doing a lot of cat waxing with my various library lists. I've got 22 lists, and some of them are quite long. I'm trying to figure out which things are likely to be easy reads and which are things I can get via Overdrive instead. Unfortunately, I can't actually sort book lists by weight or page count. If I want to do that, I need to look at each record and try pull out the related data. Some records list page counts. Some records list dimensions. Some records list both. Some records list neither or only one or two of the three dimensions.
Update: The school district has announced that they're closing until April 6th. Tomorrow will be a half day. Cordelia's concerned because doing remote learning for classes that would have their first sessions on Monday is going to be a logistical nightmare. We may have one or two of Cordelia's friends come over for study sessions, providing that everyone is healthy and careful. One friend can walk here. Another has her own car.
I don't know what this means for the ACT on April 4th.
