An experiment
Let's try doing an update earlier in the evening, not after I remember when I should be going to bed.
I woke up a little earlier this morning after slightly better sleep, and got out of bed sooner, and took the dogs for a slightly longer walk. I didn't wind up going to the mall with my sister, because she wasn't feeling up to it after a night of poor and disrupted sleep (dog freaking out over thunderstorm + children).
I decided I should do something productive today, so I did my taxes, and I should be getting a very nice refund. I also did my 2007 Taxes, which means I am now all squared away, as I ceased to be a tax resident of Canada in 2008 after living out of the country for too long. Anyway the taxes from those years were pointless - I never owed anything, never got anything back, and basically just keep putting up my tuition remission backlog. So that's nice, anyway. Not sure when it will actually get processed, but we'll see. Then I spent the rest of the evening working on getting Cat's dice roller script working. I have gotten it to a functional state, where it will roll xdx+/-x, but I think the copy I have is an older version, and it doesn't have worked out how to do xdx+xdx+/-x. If I had a better idea what I was looking for when I copied it I probably could have gotten the right thing :( But I still feel good about having it, and having it functional in this state, and knowing that if I do figure out how to rebuild it I will be working from Cat's work. I can feel him psychically shaking his fist at me for not getting the right thing, and not getting a copy of it from him while he was still alive.
Going in to the museum tomorrow, where I will scan the 2007 documents before sending them away. I might also go early or (more likely) stay late and take this computer in to get the power cord looked at/fixed. But only if I get everything backed up before I go.
What's next for me tonight though? I'm not sure. Probably knitting and tv.... I'd say writing but my current projects are mostly still just percolating. I can poke some at the Underworld thing I guess?
