helwenDidn't get very far with court doc yesterday or today. Yesterday, fitzw suggested we walk to S&S and the pharmacy. I also needed to stop at the liquor store near S&S, to find some 'healthy' vodka for a Christmas gift. Yes, it will still rot your guts out if you drink too much of it, but at least you won't be as full of unnatural toxins like PCBs and stuff :D Fortunately I had a list to work from, as they only had one from the list: Reyka Vodka. Doesn't actually say it's organic -- I don't know if they have that as a thing to do in Iceland. But the distillery is powered by geothermal power (of course, it's Iceland!) and it's filtered through lava rocks. How cool is that? Anyway, we walked to S&S, then the liquor store, then up to the pharmacy. I was starving by then, so we stopped for 6" subs at Subway before returning home. The trip took quite a while, and he wanted to work on me as well, so that was it for the afternoon. Then we had haircuts and then I had another client. Even though we still had a few hours in the evening to ourselves, I was pretty much spaghetti, so that was it.
This morning, slept in a little late again, then worked on various things, including finally getting some insulation up in the greenhouse. Tomorrow is getting the padded stuff from the farm to fit in the overhang part of the greenhouse room, put a table on it, move a couple of plants, then move at least one more of the black-painted water containers up onto the front window table. They aren't getting long enough exposure to sunlight on the shelves against the back wall, so they aren't contributing as much to passive solar heating as they should be. The plants are all doing fine, but I want to have the door open more often so they can work on cleaning the air in the bedroom more consistently.
Then I went to work, which was interesting. Mostly it was the usual, but then they added someone to the schedule, which is also not unusual. Then they tried to add Second person just before the other add-on -- tight, but as the only MT on duty on Wednesdays I can bounce between the two rooms. But the 2nd appt. was scheduled while I was out getting the laundry, so I wasn't in the office at the time _and_ the person wasn't ready to be worked on, but was seeing one of the doctors. So I say, okay I'll work on him after First person. First person then says "I didn't know I was scheduled for massage. Will this be covered by my insurance?" Of course I don't know, so we go back to the front desk, where they say they will work things out. Not trusting things, I adjust the height on the second table in case I need to bounce. Five minutes later, they send Second person into my room, so I ask him to wait until I can go to the front desk, where the doctor is standing now, and he tells me to work on the Second person, First person will not be seeing me after all. Oy.
After work, home again, home again, jiggity jig. Make dinner, check things on web and email, and take care of my sweetie.
Had miscellaneous thoughts about this and that, but they're hard to get at right now. Day is ending. Hope to get up early tomorrow, as I have to leave earlier than usual for work (covering a different shift than my usual).
