khatru | Today, I:

So I was writing this on Monday, Feb 5th. Apparently, I never posted it. (sigh). I'm leaving it as is, the top part at least, with minor changes.

Monday, Feb 5th, I:

Woke up in time to take pills, but didn't eat anything (and thus didn't take the metformin) because what I had available to eat in sufficient quantity really really needed to be heated up, and I don't have a convenient way to do that upstairs.
Came down around 10ish, convinced C to make me cheese flat and tea
C left right after that, so I puttered till R came down and had food and then we
Went to the bank and paid the mortgage thank you very much to the friends who gave me the money.
Came home to get me something to drink that wasn't sit-in-the-car-in-winter-too-cold.
Went to the eyeglass place to have them fidget with my glasses. Turns out the computer glasses had not had the anti-glare coating, which I had finally figured out was part of my problem with them. Once you get used to that, man it sucks not having it.
Did a very minor amount of ingress as we drove around.
R went out and deposited a check that I had gotten in snail mail from someone who wanted to help but didn't want to do paypal
Organized myself to do next things.
Texted John, my FIL Finance Guy, saying I wanted to ask him something, and would it be better to text, to call, or did he have an email? I got a call back within moments, where he told me that he didn't have time to talk. (o.O) And that I should call him tomorrow.

Tuesday I had a lovely day, where I spent the entire time playing WoW. I had started it cause I was awake at 8am, and didn't think I had anything important to do till I would call John, my FIL Finance Guy. And, somehow, I went from "noon, I have time to finish this thing" to "5pm, wtf?" and didn't call. And then had a humongous steak that was exceedingly nicely cooked, of which I put 3/4 into a container and in the fridge for future meals and fell asleep about 8:30 pm.

This morning I was awake by 5am, and was going to get on WoW again and continue my streak with an alarm set for noon, but I got distracted by all the things that the people I follow on twitter linked to over the weekend. And now I'm downstairs, dammit, and about to text John my FIL Finance Guy if today is good to call or not.

And then, hopefully, I'll get forms filled out.
