We don't know yet if Scott's going to be working late tonight. We're expecting it, but we don't know. I've already warned the FATE group, and they're making alternative plans, just in case. We should know by 4:00 which should be early enough to let people know if we are able to have the game.

I've confirmed that Sunday's Girl Scout meeting should end by 2:30, so I'm aiming to have Cordelia's party from 4:00 to 6:00. I just need to get a definite list of who she wants to invite and send out the emails. It's so very last minute that I expect some people won't be able to come, but we can try.

I didn't actually do any link finding yesterday. I plan to dedicate the rest of today to that. I think that will be enough time to finish up. I did, however, send out an email to our potential volunteers. I went on and on rather a lot, so I'm worried I'll have put them off. I'm also worried that, because the time involved is considerably more than the other moderator promised in the help wanted post, these people will decide they can't help after all.

Scott ordered some presents for Cordelia last night. He had to be the one to do it because he has Amazon Prime, and I don't. If I put in the order, things wouldn't arrive before her birthday. He'd been meaning to put in the order since Sunday but kept putting it off because he didn't want to do it while Cordelia was around. I'm not sure why-- She doesn't come look at his laptop unless he invites her.

I do need to get reading glasses. I just have to get my act together on it and investigate the various online options people have linked me to. My need for reading glasses was brought home to me when Cordelia asked me to show her how to thread a needle and I couldn't see the eye of the needle. It's not something that's likely to come up often, but it is something I need to have the option of doing.

I'm thinking I might be ambitious and try to empty the dishwasher today. I think I can walk well enough and long enough for that, and it really, really needs to be done (and Scott's unlikely to be in a position to do it if he does work late tonight). If that doesn't hurt, maybe I'll put away laundry. I haven't done that in weeks.

The Prime thing can be fixed! If he goes to My Account -> Your Prime Membership -> Invite a Household Member (it's at the bottom), he can enter your name, the email associated with your account, and relationship, and extend his free prime shipping to you. You won't get the other Prime membership perks, but you'll get the shipping.

Thanks! We've done that now.

I hear you on something finally triggering the need to get reading glasses. For me it was realizing that I could not *see* Corbin's fingernails well enough to trim them safely. :-S

Now I just have to get my act together and order the dratted things.

By the way, is wearing your glasses helping with the headaches?

So far it seems to be, but I want to give it a few weeks before deciding, because the headaches come and go randomly, so it could still be something else.
