wherein Liz is moderately productive despite getting up nearly three hours later than she intended
Things done today:
1. Attempted to renew my Celexa and my prescription-strength extra fluoride toothpaste this morning, since both will run out in the next week or so. This worked fine for the toothpaste, but I forgot (I was only half-awake and this was a sudden "oh shit I've been forgetting this!" impulse rather than a planned to-do list item) that I was out of refills on the Celexa and should have done a new prescription request through my doctor rather than a refill request through my pharmacy.
So I got a call from my doctor's office and I now have an appointment next Tuesday morning to go talk about my prescription and stuff.
...I think I will also bring up my hand/wrist numbness-tingling-pain issues, which came to nothing the last time I mentioned them but that was because we couldn't adequately reproduce the problem on the spot. But it's been getting worse, so. (The trouble is that I think my carpal tunnel-ish symptoms may be at least 60% because of a shoulder nerve pinching thing rather than entirely a wrist thing, because I've been pretty good about my wrists for the past several years but the problem has done the opposite of go away. *sigh*)
2. Deposited a check.
3. Returned a library book I kept not getting around to reading. I have not really been in a "let's read a book!" mood this summer -- instead I am reading a lot of fic, reading a few specific blogs, and listening to a lot of podcasts. That's just how it goes sometimes.
4. Bought some vodka, some Kahlua, and some box wine, because reasons.
5. Bought groceries. I also picked up both my Celexa and my toothpaste while I was there, because I use my grocery chain's pharmacy for convenience and such. I was mildly surprised the toothpaste was ready, because it has usually taken a day or two in transit for previous refills to arrive.
6. Used a one-off tiny tube of superglue (a grocery purchase) to repair a couple of dollar store apartment staging knick-knacks that got slightly busted during the epic video tour session on Saturday. It's frankly less annoying to fix them than to go buy a new batch of stuff from the dollar store, though I do want to hit the place up for some novelty magnets at some point.
7. Watered my container garden because my peppers looked sad and droopy.
8. Did some minimal Board of Trustees stuff, but I have additional items I need to get through either tonight or tomorrow.
9. Signed up for Remix Revival 2020, which I kept forgetting to do this past week due to general Overwhelm. I love remix exchanges/challenges, and this is one of the highlights of my fannish year. You should come play too! (Signups close in only a few hours.)
Now I am going to go fold and put away Sunday's clean laundry, after which I will... hmmm... I think the Board stuff is more immediately important, because deadlines, so I'll take a whack at some of that, and then if I have a bit of time left over I will try to finish the still tragically untitled Narnia bridge fic because I've been making progress there and it's so close to done I can taste it; I'm just not quite sure how to get from Point T to Point Z, you know?
But that's for later. Now it's time for laundry (and podcasts, because podcasts and chores are a match made in heaven). If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
