Yesterday I spent the afternoon being a Responsible Adult, with the result that now I have more Responsible Adult tasks to do. Sigh. And I got home from Thanksgiving and brought in the mail and found a jury duty notice for mid-March. Sigh, some more.

Left work at noon yesterday, in the snow, to go to my GP appointment. Got read the riot act about my weight (I knew that) and the fact that I like cheese (which is apparently terrible) and the fact that I haven't had a mammogram since the first one in 2017 (I hate them). So now I have to schedule a mammogram so they stop nagging me about it.

From the GP appointment I went to the estate lawyer's office in Roslindale, still in the snow which was supposed to have stopped two hours before, and signed at least ten different documents including my actual will. Now I have to take my certificates of trust to the credit union and put all of my current accounts in one trust and open another account in a separate trust to put in money for care of any animals I have if and when something catastrophic happens to me. But at least everything's been signed, witnessed, and notarized, so I can cross that off the Responsible Adult list. And I also got a beer out of it, because the lawyer's office had had an event recently (not Thanksgiving, but I forget what) and had some leftover beers, and when I said that I was going to go out for a drink now that all the adult stuff was done, they offered me one of their extras. So I said "Absolutely!" and drank it when I got home.

I had not previously been aware that the 51 bus runs from Forest Hills to Reservoir, but I discovered that last night and took advantage thereof. Walking home from Reservoir wasn't as bad as I thought, because most of the sidewalks had been shoveled and the merely-wet hadn't frozen yet on the really steep parts. I got home at 5:30 or so, which is about when I would have gotten home from work anyway, and promptly fell into my enormous sweatshirt and ate a lot of spaghetti for dinner, partly for warm food because I was cold, partly for spite (carbs are terrible too, of course), and partly to use up the spaghetti.

Tonight is the Dunster House Messiah sing, which would be fun except it runs very late. I don't really want to leave in the middle, which is what I did last year, so I think I won't go at all. Right this minute I want to go home and be warm, because it's not particularly warm in here.

Third responsible adult thing: I have a question in to the vet's office about Blue Buffalo kidney diet. It's the only one I've found so far that doesn't have corn in it. Given my luck it will also be the only one my vet doesn't approve of, or Lily won't approve of it because it only comes in enormous quantities from chewy.com.

How is it only 4:00? Ye gods.

Hey, that bus would make it easy for you to come visit us!

Also, what estate lawyer in Roslindale did you use? That hellscape is on my list of 2020 adulting tasks.
