the_rckI'm trying to do the software updates on my laptop right now, so I'm writing this in Gdocs with the intention of copying it over once the update is done. I'm concerned because the estimated time to completion keeps getting longer even as the update advances. It started with an estimate of forty five minutes. I went and took a leisurely shower. When I came back, the thing was at about sixty five percent with more than an hour left to go. I have no idea how long this will end up taking.
Scott had to go to work early this morning. This after they'd kept him until five yesterday afternoon. There were several things he meant to do and didn't have time for. Sadly, one was helping me decide whether or not to cancel the AT&T repair appointment. I really am not sure what to do there.
I wrote about 450 words yesterday and got to the end of the scene I was working on. I haven't started fic writing yet today because of doing the update. I'm not enthusiastic about either writing on my laptop while it's updating and might restart any time or writing on my phone. Using my phone takes so much longer than touch typing does, and autocorrect does not like a lot of the proper nouns I use.
When I took my walk to the bottom of the hill and back up, one of our neighbors joined me. It was nice to chat, but I felt really weird about Ingress. I sort of explained it, but she's about seventy, so I'm not sure it made sense to her.
Art Fair starts tomorrow. We plan to avoid it as much as possible, but it continuing through Sunday will make our library trip very difficult. I need to check the expiration dates on my holds. They might have extended that because everyone will have trouble getting downtown, but they also might not have. If we have to go this weekend, I may do it Friday because the buses are easier to use then. I just really don't want to go downtown during Art Fair. I suppose I could go today, during setup. Any holds coming in today would last until next Tuesday.
Why has my brain decided that I need to write a story for a canon I barely know? It's exactly the sort of thing that sounds interesting but that I can't get through because I want to smack two thirds of the characters. I don't have patience for this sort of thing, even when the behavior is realistic. Maybe especially not then.
ETA: Checked the library website-- We don’t have to pick up our holds until the 28th, a week from tomorrow. That will make life much simpler. We have things due on Monday, but those can go to any branch library at any time between now and then.
Oh, and the software update took two and a half hours.
