the_rckDinner last night disagreed with me, and I didn't get to sleep until after Scott got up. I don't know what it was-- I've eaten exactly the same thing for lunch on other occasions and have had no problems, and there were a solid four hours between dinner and when I lay down to try to sleep. This morning, I've got a headache from lack of sleep. In another fifteen minutes, when I can have food, I'll take some naproxen for that.
Scott and I were expecting to have some time after he got home before we needed to go pick up Cordelia, but Scott's sister called not long after Scott got out of the shower and asked us to meet them in Brighton. We arranged to meet at the Panera there for dinner. I'm so-so on Panera, largely because I dislike overhead menus. I can't read them unless I pull out my glasses, and if I'm wearing my glasses, I have to take them off to sign the credit card receipt. Scott had a salad and sandwich combo, I had a soup and sandwich combo, and Cordelia had a sandwich that she ate about two thirds of in spite of deciding that she didn't like it. The person taking out orders just assumed that Scott and I would want baguettes with our meals and that Cordelia would want chips. I'm not sure Cordelia was entirely pleased.
I'm pretty sure that the problem for me, later on, was the sandwich. It had onion on it, raw onion, which frequently gives me trouble, and some sort of horseradish mayonnaise. As I said before, I've had that at lunch time many times and been fine. It's just that apparently having it for dinner is a bad idea. I tossed and turned for several hours and then got up for a while when the reflux got too bad around 3 a.m.
Some time between when we left the house and when we got to Panera, something bit me on my left hand. It itched for a couple of hours and then puffed up a lot and started to hurt. I put benadryl cream on it at bedtime, and that seems to have helped some. It did make trying to sleep awkward because, when I lie on my left side, I tuck my left hand under my head. Doing that hurt quite a bit.
I'm going to devote this afternoon to getting my Remix into postable shape. I don't think it will be too hard. The main thing is to think up a different introductory paragraph as my beta reader feels the current one is out of character. I think the other things I need to do are minor tweaks, adding a sentence here and there mostly.
I'm going to have to ask Scott to make a special trip to the library after he gets home tonight. I've got a DVD that's due today, and overdue fines are a dollar a day, and I can't renew it because it's got a waitlist.
Cordelia is trying to talk me into letting her walk to the downtown library today (we'll drive there tomorrow). I'm not enthusiastic about it because it's a long way with a lot of busy streets to cross and because I'm not certain she knows the way. There's also no sidewalk on the side of Plymouth that she'd want to walk on. I suppose she could walk Traver instead (where there's also no sidewalk but no traffic to speak of so it doesn't matter). I suggested she take the bus, but she's afraid to. I also suggested that she walk to the Traverwood branch (which is nearly as far but requires fewer street crossings and is easy to find), but she pointed out that all of her holds are downtown. I think she could find interesting things by browsing, but she doesn't enjoy browsing.
