Nov. 5th, 2018 03:34 pmWhen we last left Our Heroine, she was waiting to hear from the dive shop. She is still waiting to hear from the dive shop. The Instant Gratification Monster is getting really annoyed, but it also has a $200 REI gift card, courtesy of credit card points and my failure to realize that REI doesn't sell things useful for diving, to quell it. Maybe I'll spend it on socks and gloves, since I need new touch screen gloves and it would be useful if they were windproof.
Lily's last pill day is tomorrow. I hope like hell that she doesn't lose more weight in the week between pills and iodine, because I don't think she can afford to. Maybe I have to go buy another chicken and keep feeding her chicken jello even without pills in it. (But I don't WANT to have to eat another chicken this week!) Just so I write it down in order, a List:
- No pills after tomorrow
- Tuna food, chicken food, dry food, treats for hospital
- Towel for hospital
- Put name on small carrier
- Downstairs: food dishes, water dish, litterbox, litterbox liners, litter, bookshelf towel
Yesterday I had Grand Plans for the afternoon, because we went to Franklin for late morning and lunchtime. Game called on account of a headache, though, and I still had the headache when I woke up this morning, so I never went to TJ's or the hardware store. Gotta do that sometime sooner than later, because I'm out of tea again and I need some various odds and ends.
OK, I have taken the Required Official Harvard Title IX and Sexual Harassment Training Module. I could have done it in 15 minutes if it didn't insist on talking at me, but it wouldn't let me just read a transcript, so it took 45 minutes, and I missed a lot of the talking anyway because I don't have a door, so I got six conversations going on around me and the printer going off. I passed the quiz at the end anyway. (I am just a wee bit annoyed at this whole thing, because HSDM also requires a Title IX module and a workplace civility module (and a confidential information module and a HIPAA training module) to be completed online every year, and I passed the pre-assessment quiz and then got all the same information again for 45 minutes. I'm all for a pre-assessment which, if you pass it, means you can skip the 45 minutes.)
The clocks changed yesterday and now it's 4:45 and dark and raining. Pfeh. If it has to be dark, can't it at least be not raining for once?
