No walking to Rivendell (or Lothlorien) this morning on the treadmill. I did get it set up last night, and the TV, too. But it turned out the TV’s remote requires 3a batteries, not 2a batteries, and we have none of those. Which, ok, yes, I am aware there are OTHER WAYS to turn on a tv besides the remote, but given that the idea here is that I walk and not keep leaping off the treadmill to try to fix sound, captioning, etc and whatever, and the controls for…
spendy goodness
I hoff bought a monitor arm. I hoff bought a monitor. Now all I need is a CHAIR (and maybe a footrest) and Nook 2.0 will be underway. I hoff written 1200 words and expect to finish the chapter tomorrow. I hope plan intend to forge on after that, for I hoff also made a hair appointment for 3:30pm Saturday afternoon, and since doing SOMETHING with my hair is the reward for finishing the book, I obviously need to finish the book by then. I hoff walked a mile and…
hate my hair.
I am becoming desperate to do something about my hair. When Deirdre saw me at Christmas she said, “Wow! That’s the longest your hair’s been since you were eleven!” That’s not entirely true; it was longer in college, but it was also curly. This is definitely the longest it’s been when it’s straight since I was eleven. It’s driving me batshit. I need to do something with it. I am not quite prepared to actually cut it all off yet, and even if I was my hairdresser won’t let me.…
pretty good morning
Stayed up way too late last night and didn’t leap out of bed at the crack of dawn, but that’s okay. We actually rented a U-Haul to go get the treadmill, and now we have a treadmill in the garage. Sometime today I’ll go figure out where to plug it in and I’ll set up the DVD player and then, as Jai said, she will NEVER catch me on the road to Mordor! Ahahahahah! Ahem. (I told her she obviously needed to start running. :)) Worked out some plotbunnies with…
Nook 2.0: the beginnings
I have just ordered a $500 keyboard. Shortly, I will buy a wall-mounted monitor arm and a flat screen monitor (although not in that order, because I need to make sure the monitor has the right kind of back so it’ll fit in the mounting). Then I will get a new chair and a footrest and bat my eyelashes at Ted to clean up one of the old eMachines and I will entirely rebuild my Book Nook so it is Ergonomically Appropriate for Kits. That’s my plan for this weekend.…
