Thursday
Went in to the office today at noon, but somehow managed to not get any fried chicken. I did get a decent amount of work done though – down to one SR and some administrative work – so perhaps tomorrow I can finish my day job before the weekend and still get to robots* on time.
Got the replacement solar panel up so we’re finally back to normal blind operations. Still missing the valances but between the solar panel and Shanda finding an upstairs home for her painting supplies the dining room table is slowly clearing. I might even get to the window film today.
Someone came to look at the broken window today, but didn’t even leave an estimate let alone a schedule to fix it. A company I contacted last Sunday also finally replied – they going to look at it on Monday. I do not understand how this job takes 2 weeks just to get the actual repair scheduled.
Shanda is having a hard time taking back control of her time after being sick. She never feels like she’s doing “enough” to “catch up” with all the things she already decided not to do while she was sick. It’s better than the old version where she used to be sick and decide to do things anyway because she feared never being able to catch up. But it’s still hard.
I gave up my safe box key**. Or at least my need to keep it literally attached to my pants at all times whenever I leave the house. I’ve committed to the idea that I will have to go specifically to my residence before fleeing internationally forever, instead of being prepared to flee using only the things at the bank box and on my person. It also makes me 100% key-free for the first time since I was 16***. And lets me keep my passport at home, and worry less about needing to abandon Rev when I go.
The forgone conclusion that I will eventually need to flee. That is still stapled through my heart.
Watched the end of Killjoys S4. The sisters as nearly identical in all aspects, save one vital input years ago is fun. There’s a body swap between two characters played by the same actor. And cartoon rules for getting guns. And more Dutch and Johnny. It’s still got one season coming but I’m sad to wait a year to get it, and that it will be done. Maybe I’ll schedule a full run of seasons 1-4 for next July to ramp up for the final season.
Presented without commentary, the skipped doses from 7 weeks of pre-filled twice daily pill box. [Fig 1]

*Where I have to be sure that S is around when someone talks about my earrings so that he can watch their feelings and not be super weird about it when we’re alone. He’s real afraid of not knowing how to feel about something social and he does better when he gets to watch young people react.
**Which should obviously support some sort of electronic auth token instead of a chunk of brass.
***I was less excited about being key-free when that was someone else’s demand.
