the_rckYesterday I tried Stash's chai green tea and liked it quite a lot. It had the flavor of the spices without much bitterness. The first few swallows had no bitterness, but deeper in the cup, I got some bitterness.
I supervised Cordelia in making bread yesterday. The idea was for me to be able to remain sitting the whole time. It didn't entirely work because Scott, for some unknown reason, decided to put the powdered milk somewhere other than where we've stored it for the last couple of years. Cordelia didn't know what it looked like, so it was hard for her to search for it. That meant that I had to get up and find it. The loaf came out okay. The top is a little concave but not horribly so.
I'm starting to think that this boot is a little too small. When I inflate it, my big toe hits the edge and hangs partway off. I doubt it's supposed to do that. At the same time, I don't want to go asking for a replacement-- This one cost $43, and I assume a new one would cost at least that much.
I went through my email inbox and deleted a bunch of messages that I no longer needed. A lot of them were LJ or DW comments that I meant to reply to but that got buried. Two or three years later, I don't think there's a point. I now only have 125 messages in my inbox.
I'm supposed to fill out an online form before going to my appointment this morning, but there's a problem. The instructions say that one can't use the 'no' button, that that should only be used by the clinic itself, but the system won't accept the form unless one answers every single question. I can't very well answer 'yes' to everything when they're asking about conditions I don't have. It's really ridiculous.
I probably could have gotten away with staying in bed until Cordelia leaves, but I thought I'd be happier if I got up when she did. I've had my coffee. I'll eat breakfast in about ten minutes. Naturally, I got up to discover that my phone was out of charge. Fortunately, two hours should be quite long enough to charge it fully.
I have to email around. There's a Girl Scout thing on Saturday that Cordelia wants to go to but that I can't get her to. It's about an hour and a half drive away (and starts at 9 a.m. She'll have to be up very, very early). One of her friends who lives near here is going, and I'm hoping that Cordelia can ride with them.
I may be coming down with a cold. I was sniffling all night, and it made sleeping difficult. If I am coming down with a cold, it must be something I caught at UHS last week. I really hope this isn't a cold as that would be just one more thing to make my life miserable.
Scott's a little annoyed because we didn't get around to watching The Flash last night. I feel a little less urgency about it. We'll get to it tonight. Last night, we had other things to catch up on-- two episodes each of The Daily Show and The Nightly Show. I'm not sure what I think of The Nightly Show yet. It's very different from either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report, and I like Larry Wilmore, but I'm not sure I like the panel discussions-- I think those need more time to work well. Four guests are also a lot to track; I don't feel like any of them have time to say much.
I still haven't done any writing. I have been thinking about what I want to write, though. I need to figure out just who a particular character I'm going to be bringing in is. There's not a lot about her in the books, and the circumstances of this AU mean that she'd be rather different anyway. I'm also trying to decide how one of my point of view characters will react to a particular situation-- He might just accept it as something else he has no choice about doing, but he also might find that he can't do what's being demanded of him at all. I don't know. I suppose I can write it and find out that way.
