Done last week/month (20161030Su - 1105Sa)
My right peroneus muscle is still painful. No idea what I did to it or am doing wrong, though one article suggested that it could be plantarflection due to sleeping under heavy blankets. So maybe I should go back to sleeping on my side instead of on my back. Sleeping on my back is fairly recent, so that may be fairly simple.
I've been doing a lot of puttering, and arguably a lot less practicing than I should, given that I have a concert in less than two weeks at Orycon. I've been practicing most days this week (see notes), and I think my calluses are back, so that's something. Need to print out my set and start doing more complete runthroughs.
Halloween was fun, going out with N and her kids. Gave the adults someone to talk to.
I've been taking care of the critters, since N, G, and g are away at OVFF. Cricket's been in the Great Room, mostly hiding in the Cubhouse -- at least, that's where I usually find her when I come in. Ticia's been pretty good about not trying to come in, though I still have to warn her away from the door.
Puttering. Yeah. G' did some major re-organizing and cleanup involving the downstairs closet and playroom, and the upstairs closets. Unfortunately, this was accomplished mainly by moving things into the garage and craft room. I've been gradually moving stuff to more sensible places. Some of the decisions have been good ones, though; I'm not complaining about the kitchen cabinet re-org.
Oh, yeah: the Cubs won the World Series. I'm not a sports fan at all, but that's pretty extraordinary. If it's a sign of the apocalypse, I'm hoping that it continues with the person the wingnuts are calling the Antichrist getting into the White House. And that's the last thing I'm going to say about politics until November 9th at the earliest.

Nobody bothered to mention it; I noticed because C's medical alert interface was beeping. Given the position of the coupler (near the floor) I blame the cats. 1102We * Up 5:30; P=123/79, p=64; cleanup, laundry, pots * write check for G' * Music: Ship of Stone and some guitar noodling.

From a wikipedia dive starting at Stellar nucleosynthesis via wcg @ APOD: 2016 November 5 - ISS Fisheye Flythrough nice. : G' has cleaned up the closets on both the bottom and top floors, and gotten a lot of stuff out of the playroom (downstairs living room). Unfortunately, this has also resulted in a lot of stuff being piled into the workroom and garage. Things look a lot better, but that's because much of the clutter is hidden. : I also suspect that C' and C" have put stuff in the middle bedroom upstairs, though I haven't asked. N and G still have a lot of stuff in the closet, too. : OTOH, I really like the way G' has partly reorganized the kitchen, designating a cabinet for C' and C", and moving the water bottles back to the cupboard to the left of the sink (labled "cups", but actually tumblers). And she took out all our sheets except for the one set we prefer. I'm going to move back some less-preferable alternatives, just in case. * Moved the rest of the twin fitted sheets, and one king flat, into the bedroom closet. Cut down a shelf, very clumsily. I have lost many of my woodworking skills, and apparently much of my common sense. : Tablesaw needs a support for long boards on the left. And/or I need a miter saw. & freeing the tablesaw involved quite a lot of re-arranging. % exhausted bear. With wet feet. : C' was greatly amused when I told her my abbreviations for her and C". Score! @ Andrew Sullivan: Trump, America, and the Abyss * 15min: Unpacked the Luup litterboxen -- there are three of them. They require 15lbs of litter each - that's an entire jug. * 15min: brought up and fixed one of the kitchen bar stools. * 15min: put together and installed the drawers for N's bathroom cabinet. Done. * Music: Wings - worked on the second melody @ What It Feels Like to Have ‘Functioning’ or ‘Low-Grade’ Depression | The Mighty @ I'm here... - Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (via The Mighty) % 10:15 drifty. Bad headache, probably from spending too much time downstairs. G' certainly used industrial quantities of febreeze; maybe other stuff.
