the_rckCordelia's cell phone woke all three of us at 7:30 this morning when she started getting either text messages or Google hangouts alerts. She did eventually get up and turn the phone off, but it was too late. I've told her that, from here on out, she needs to turn the phone off every night on the weekend. Scott and I were planning to get up at 8:00, so we didn't have time to get back to sleep.
I've been trying to fill out the grocery list for this week. The problem is that I don't really know what to put on it. I've been at a point where preparing food feels like too much trouble. I can do it, but it's often physically uncomfortable, so I generally don't. That means I've been eating a lot of granola bars. I'm sure it's not particularly good for me, but I expect it to be temporary. Eventually, I will heal up.
I successfully read a book this week. It took me days, but I did it. I didn't think I could just now. Admittedly, it was a popcorn book-- a Jayne Castle romance-- but it was still a full length novel as opposed to being something short.
My right shoulder and neck are giving me a lot of trouble. My guess is that I've been spending too much time lying on my right side when I'm in bed. I don't think I tend to spend more than ten minutes at a time that way, but I can't think of any other explanation for why it hurts to move my head in certain ways. I'm applying heat to see if that helps. Maybe Scott will have time to work on it later.
I'm trying to decide if I should ask Scott to do the library run today or if we should wait until he gets off work tomorrow. I can't remember the last time they made him stay late on a weekend, so Sunday should be safe enough, but I hate to rely on anything with his job and scheduling. But I also hate having books due on a Saturday because it often requires an extra trip to the library when something can't be renewed. Also, I have one hold 'in transit.' It could arrive any time today. It could arrive tomorrow. It might require Scott making an extra trip downtown to pick it up. I don't want to do that, either.
I am still trying to catch up on emails and LJ/DW comments. I have things that are weeks old that I was intending to reply to but may end up not. I also have comments on FFnet that are about a year old that I still haven't responded to. I just don't go there very often, so I keep saying, "Later," and later never comes. I'm better about AO3 comments, and I think it's because AO3 almost never logs me out, so that particular barrier is absent. Also, when I'm up to date on comments, there's not the barrier to responding of thinking that I ought to deal with the older stuff first.
I wish I was better at writing meta essays or was actually interested strongly in something that people I talk to are interested in. I'm wanting to talk about stories and characterization and world building and all of that. I wouldn't mind squee (it would be a lot of fun). I just keep coming up blank. I love reading what other people write about the things they're passionate about or fascinated by, and once in a great while, I can think of something to say in response, but it's usually tangential and seldom leads to much discussion. I just don't seem to have anything that I'm actually that into, and, even if I did, I'm not sure I could bring myself to talk about it here, where anyone could see, because I'd be sure no one would be interested.
