the_rckScott tells me that there’s no way I’ll be able to watch Doctor Strange, even on a small screen, because of the way that certain scenes are filmed. Cordelia thought that the surgery scenes might be a problem for me, but I suspect that the movement on the screen will be more of an issue as that’s what gives me migraines.
We went to the library not long after Scott got home. Cordelia came with us because she had a hold to pick up. We could have gotten it for her (I still keep her library card because she hasn’t started carrying a wallet or purse yet. Even if I didn’t, Scott has scanned the barcode on the card and saved the image on his phone).
On our way home, we dropped Cordelia off at the bottom of the hill, near the church, and went on to the science center to recapture the portals that the other side had captured two or three hours before. We managed that without much trouble, at least from the Ingress side.
Unfortunately, the library trip plus twenty minutes of walking really made my left foot hurt. I think it went past a five on the zero to ten scale which was quite enough to make me unwilling to get up from the couch. I iced the dratted thing twice during the next few hours and took naproxen. I tried to find one or the other of my canes but couldn’t. I haven’t used one in years, so they were no longer where I had put them. Scott managed to find them in the dining room. I have no idea what they were doing there. The cane didn’t help much except to make Scott take the whole thing seriously.
This morning, the foot is better enough that I can do things like emptying the dishwasher and making myself breakfast. The cane I was using last night is in the bedroom now. My foot still hurts when I walk, but it’s nowhere near as bad. I just want to be able to take a walk and not have it wreck me.
I now have all six of the characters for my UCon game at 2/3 to 3/4 done. I’m not entirely happy with the one I wrote yesterday because it doesn’t seem to fit with the other characters very well. I’m not sure whether the problem is with that character not working or if it’s with the other characters being too connected. I could just drop that character. I set the maximum number of players at five, so six characters is more than I should need.
I got an audiobook yesterday at the library that I think I might actually get through quickly. It’s Tolkien’s The Children of Hurin read by Christopher Lee. Well, the first CD is read by Christopher Tolkien who is rather less compelling than Christopher Lee. I’m two CDs in (out of eight). My main difficulty is that I can’t remember all of the people mentioned.

I don't know your specific needs but there's a lot of "trippy stuff", like how people describe acid trips. Maybe when ABC shows it with commercials and you look away part of the time?
