the_rckI woke up with a headache again today. It's not as bad as yesterday-- For one thing, this one didn't wake me up and keep me awake. I went straight to naproxen for this headache. It's too soon to say if it will help, but I'm optimistic.

metanews. I normally do that on Tuesdays, but I won't have as much time on Tuesday as I usually do, so I want to get ahead as much as I can.
Cordelia got six books at the library yesterday. Three of them were books she'd put holds on-- the next two books in the series that started with Ruby Red and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (she wants to reread the series and couldn't find our copy of the first book. I believe it's somewhere in her room, but who knows?). The remaining three were the first books she found on the shelf in the teen section. We'll see if she likes them.
I got about half a dozen CDs and a DVD (Maleficent) that the whole family wants to see. None of my book holds were in which may be just as well given how many books I've got that I simply haven't opened. I have two books due next Sunday that can't be renewed. They're both graphic novels, so the time involved isn't a big deal. I ought to be able to get through them quickly. I just have to start.
We ended up going out to dinner at Applebee's because I discovered that the chicken Scott bought wasn't what I'd thought. I thought it was just ordinary chicken breasts that could be baked in under an hour. As it turns out, it's a bigger chunk of chicken, and the package calls for roasting it for at least eighty minutes. It was too late when I pulled it out of the refrigerator to manage that much time and still get me fed by my 8:00 deadline (I can't eat later than that because of my reflux, not if I want to be able to sleep). I'll put the chicken in at about 4:30 today, and that should work just fine.
Cordelia complained about going to Applebee's but didn't offer any alternative suggestions. She was also quite happy to eat the burger she ordered. She wasn't as happy with the fries because they sprinkled black pepper on them. I also had a burger. Scott had a chicken dish.
We went home for dessert. Scott bought a dozen paczki on Saturday, and we're trying to get through them before they get too stale. He says he'd have bought half a dozen, but all of the small boxes were prune filled which he didn't want. The dozen he got are half raspberry and half cream cheese. It seems early to have paczki since Ash Wednesday isn't until the 25th.
Scott is delivering about half of Cordelia's Girl Scout cookies today, all the ones that go to his coworkers. She only sold eighteen boxes, so I paid for them up front so as not to have to worry about getting the money in on time. If she'd sold a lot more ($4 a box), I'd have been reluctant to do that, but eighteen boxes was only $72, and we'll get money from people fairly quickly.
I have to pin down Scott and Cordelia about signing up to volunteer at one of the troop's cookie booths. Cordelia doesn't want me to volunteer, but so far at least, other adults haven't signed up, so I may need to. The first cookie booth is Saturday, and it's only half staffed. The second booth is 6 March and is less than half staffed.
