Mar. 2nd, 2020 11:41 amI woke up this morning with one of those "don't change the altitude of your head or you'll be sorry" headaches, which made feeding the cats somewhat difficult because I had to bend over to get the dishes off the floor. OW. So I showered, and took a lot of Advil, and fed the cats, and emailed in sick for the morning, and went back to bed for an hour and a half. The cats came and kept me company, which was nice of them.
Woke up again at about 9:30, lay around reading for half an hour, and then sat up to see if my head would fall off. It didn't, so I got out of the house at about 10:30 and walked down to Washington Square instead of waiting 25 minutes for the bus at Monastery Rd. Got to work at 11:30ish with a stop for coffee first, and am now trying to do the usual Monday catching up.
However, good stuff: my new bureau arrived on Saturday at about 2:30, and is just about exactly what I want. And since it's six inches wider than the old one, it doesn't matter so much that the drawers aren't quite as deep. And since the top is no longer covered with Stuff, I put the runner Dr. C brought me from Thailand on it. It even mostly goes, because the runner is dark brown and gold, and the bureau is dark brown in the same family. I've wanted to find a home for that runner for years, because it's too nice not to. So there. Now all I have to do is not point out to Snip that there's a tassel on the end of the runner, because I suspect she'd like that to play with.
Other good stuff: SSI finally got it through its head that I had passed the buoyancy workshop, so now it shows up on my diving app as a completed course. I forgot how long it takes them to get the idea. I am now one course away from being a Specialty Diver, which doesn't mean anything except it's halfway to Advanced Open Water Diver by SSI standards. Three more courses and ten more dives before I get to AOW. Navigation, nitrox and either deep or night diving for classes, and probably another trip for dives.
I wish I had felt well enough to do the major grocery shopping this weekend. Unfortunately, since I didn't, I still have it to do. And I still have to buy kitty litter, which I would have done after the bureau got delivered if it had been delivered at 1:00 instead of 2:30. Not that an hour and a half makes all that much difference, but I wanted the clothes back in the bureau more than I wanted to go out and buy kitty litter, and by the time I got that done, I really didn't want to go buy kitty litter.
