the_rckScott was scheduled to go in early this morning, but they didn't need him after all. They called around 11:00 to say so. That means Scott hasn't done the grocery shopping yet, but he's planning to go pretty much immediately. (He'll be buying himself breakfast out, lucky so-and-so. I wish I had that option-- I had a banana.)
I've been craving salty junk food. We haven't any in the house because I never put it on the grocery list and Scott doesn't buy much of anything that I don't tell him to specifically. I was very tempted to put some on the list this week, but I didn't. It wouldn't be good for me to eat a bag of Cheetos or Doritos or whatever. Also, I have difficulty asking for treats like that-- I always feel embarrassed about it. I think it's because, as a teenager, when I bought things like that, I had to hide them from my parents or get into really big trouble. I always had plenty of money for that, and I never went overboard, but my parents were very strict about such things. At any rate, when I have candy or chips or whatever, I always feel like I have to hide the fact that I'm doing so from the people around me.
I didn't get any writing done yesterday though I did do some minor editing. I have to work on stopping myself from going back into documents and tweaking things repeatedly-- The punctuation and paragraphing may be better after I do that, but it takes up time I could spend more productively.
Instead of writing, I spent time on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
metanews. The person who was supposed to post ran into trouble and asked for help, so I posted. LJ took some work to figure out, and Tumblr didn't work at all until I got help from someone in Yuletide chat. He was able to sort things out pretty quickly.
I'm not sure if the problem was with Tumblr or with the fact that I was copying and pasting in Safari. When I copied from Firefox and pasted into Safari, the links worked, so it might be purely a problem with Safari. That would be inconvenient for me as I use Safari for pretty much allmetanews stuff.
I only seem to have brain enough for one big thing in a day-- If I link find or post formetanews, I usually don't write. If I have an appointment, I'm unlikely to do anything else that day. Even Thursday, when I had the afternoon free, was too much. Working at the school in the morning was as much as I could do. That's probably why I think of Thursdays as the most tiring and least productive days of the week-- Normally, I have the volunteer time in the morning and the cleaning lady in the afternoon. Either one of those things alone would be enough to exhaust me. Taken together... Well.
I'm not sure what I'll do on Tuesday. This coming week I'm scheduled to have an appointment on Tuesday and to link find formetanews. Hopefully I can push myself to do both as I'd hate to lose Wednesday to link finding, especially given that it's my week to post for metanews.
Cordelia wants very much to have a friend over and go sledding today. I need to check with the National Weather Service to see what the wind chill is because, the last few days, it's been too cold for spending much time outside. Then Cordelia and I have to call around to try to find someone who's available. She has a particular friend in mind, but that friend is usually busy, so I think she may have to find someone else.
