Feb. 19th, 2019 09:19 amIt was a four-day weekend, so of course I didn't get nearly as much done as I could have. However, the Friday List is down to about six items, and all of them are new as of two weeks ago. If I do it right, I can take Fridays in March as actual vacation-type days, instead of get-things-done days. On Friday I tried to go clothes shopping and failed miserably, and it was raining anyway so I didn't want to be out running around in the first place. But I did finally get a new mattress pad and a blanket to keep the futon from being such a static electricity factory when the air is dry. Then I went to my massage appointment and the February dive club meeting (marine archaeology; interesting stuff) and went grocery shopping. On Saturday I didn't do a hell of a lot except hang around reading.
I went diving on Sunday, and was massively glad I didn't have to go anywhere much yesterday. I did have to go buy some incidental groceries, because when you want mushrooms-and-greens and you have neither in the house, you have to go do something about that. But I did it VERY slowly, because if I had one, it hurt, or at the very least it wasn't quite happy. At least with the air as dry as it is, my wetsuit drips dry overnight instead of taking a day and a half.
While I was actually diving, though, I got in some good practice with various basic skills. I can take out and put in weight pockets all day, and I made the "glad I was in the pool and not the ocean" mistake of not zipping one of them, so half the weights ended up on the bottom of the pool. I did eventually go get them, once I was loaded up with 20 lb of lead, which is what I need to counteract the 7mm wetsuit in fresh water. In salt water it would be more. But anyway, now I know, and now I need both more strength and more endurance. The 20 lb of lead is on top of a 30-lb air tank and probably 15-20 lb of other gear, and you don't notice so much when you're in the water, but you notice like hell when you're out of it. Time to start walking home again.
Lily gets her three-month post-radioactivity blood draw on Thursday. I'm not worried about the thyroid, but I'm slightly worried about the kidneys. We shall see. She's definitely a cat, rather than a hyperactive cat skeleton with fur, and I hope she's at or over seven pounds. I think she might be, because I spend an inordinate amount of time hauling her off my keyboard and there's more heft to her lately. I wonder if I should worry about Snip's kidneys, too, but doing a blood test on her will require drugging her first. The older she gets, the less she puts up with any of her anatomy being messed around with (up to the point where if I say "cat foot" she looks suspicious), so she needs a dose of Don't Care pill first. I wonder if it will actually work, when we get to that point.
Right. Meeting in seven minutes, which won't be in seven minutes because the meeting before it always runs late. At least it's reliable that way. Time to find my MMSc in Dental Ed Program Administrator hat...
