A Slow but Necessary Day
Today was a take-it-easy day, while simultaneously being a run-around-doing-errands day.
1. I finally got off my duff and started the process of changing over my car and insurance to my current state. Did the insurance and inspection today, but heard from multiple sources that the MVA is an absolute zoo on Fridays, so I deferred that until Tuesday.
2. I did some more cleaning and some more baking today. The apt is looking like a grownup lives here now - no piles of crap everywhere, no messes on the tables and couches, etc. This is probably a good thing, because...
3. My parents and grandma and parents' puppy are coming down to visit next weekend. Time to come up with a plan to entertain them... I need to find one of the local museums that will keep Dad entertained but not tax Gram's walking endurance (which is quite low), and figure out where I want us to go for dinner on Saturday.
4. I gave in today and ordered Pizza Hut for dinner. Yum. I hadn't eaten breakfast or a real lunch, so I probably ate more pizza than I should have, but it was very, very good.
5. The doc adjusted my meds on Wednesday and added something else. I've only been on it a couple days, but I can feel some effect already. Thank heavens. The old way of feeling had already become significantly un-fun.
Some days, you just need a day off from the brain-draining academic work. Wednesday was a household-and-errands day too, and I still need to go to the grocery store, so it's not totally done, but I'm moving along well on all fronts on the To Do list.
