Feb. 17th, 2020 11:37 pmI had such a busy day.
First, I had to get Andrew and I to a medical appointment for him, at 9 this morning. I'd been awake half the night so when my alarm went off it actually hurt. It hurt worse when we just missed a bus and had to wait 20 minutes for the next one; by the end of that even Andrew was saying he was getting chilly and I was so cold my hands throbbed because of it (today Andrew learned that it's possible to be cold enough that it causes pain; I envy him not having any idea of this). The appointment went well though; we really like the specialist he's been seeing, and he's got a long-term plan for some new treatment that hopefully will help.
I went straight from picking up his prescription (where I apparently looked enough like I'd be called Andrew that I was a bit flustered when the person checking the meds asked for my date of birth and I had to stop myself from reflexively offering my own date of birth when I realized that isn't what he wanted!) to uni. Not for any of my normal stuff; there was a big careers event today that included a particular event for disabled students that I wanted to go to.
( disability employment event )
( careers fair )
By this time the lack of sleep was catching up with me, replacing sleep with coffee worked for a while but I was starting to feel ill. I took a little time to decompress and tried one of the new places in the precinct centre for lunch: I had some mediocre pho in a nice setting. By the time I was done, and had bimbled around the new Blackwells (it was a shipping container the last time I'd gone in), which looks exactly like a Waterstones, it was 3 o'clock, an hour until my next lecture but my brain was so full of things and my body was so tired.
I had takeout Chinese for dinner (satay tofu, it was very good), watched the third episode of Picard (we didn't think it had audio description for the first two but could use it with this one and it made it so much easier for me to watch; I always underestimate what a difference it makes) and have done some volunteer work that I also hadn't had the spoons for until recently.
My brain is stil full of things but Andrew's made the extremely unusual move of going to bed before me and keeps telling me I should join him. He's probably right.
