things I've learned in the last few days

1. Walking about a mile - to the drugstore and back - right before bed is an excellent way to get to sleep.
2. Drinking a coffee milkshake with dinner is not, even if it is delicious.
3. Since I was awake anyway, I finished Altered Carbon. It's so... written by a straight dude. And cyberpunk cliché. It had its moments, but I found myself thinking several times, 'Really? Again?'
4. Pledge furniture polish, if applied to an (ahem) object* above a hardwood floor, will make that patch of floor slippery.
5. Ordering something off Etsy for Halloween in the first week of October is cutting it close.
6. When you need to renew a prescription, start the process sooner than you think you need to because this is America. I'm not going to run out of girl 'roids, but it was a near thing.
7. You've changed the name & gender on your birth certificate, you silly nun. You need to remember that if people ask about it.

*My new flogger. The fellow who made it & sold it to me, the craftsman at Bunnyflogger, told me that Pledge was the only "care & feeding" necessary for it. I forgot to ask which kind of leather this flogger is made off; I think it's bull hide.
