what nuns do when leaving home is a pain
Jan. 25th, 2020 06:49 pmI'm staying in the Devil Girl Pad this weekend because getting around on crutches due to my broken ankle is a botheration.
Funny Lady brought me Korean eats for dinner last night, but in classic FL fashion, she missed my message about timing so I never got to see her. She's the sweetest thing and I love her to bits, but she does have ADHD for reals.
At 0318 this morning my smoke alarm started its low battery chirp - or so I thought. (Foreshadowing!) Being on a bus route, I sleep with ear plugs. I really didn't want to hear that chirp up close more than I had to, so I left them in. I took the smoke alarm off the ceiling only to discover that it's a sealed unit. Faaabulous. Well, I wanted to sleep, dammit, so I broke it open and pulled the battery. Still chirping. I cut wires. Still chirping.
It was coming from the carbon monoxide alarm maybe a foot from where the smoke alarm was. Luckily, that unit is not sealed. Replacements for everything are on order. It occurs to me that I agree with some disabled folks that Amazon is not an unmitigated evil for them.
I've got my packing & to-do list ready for London over two months in advance because that's how I roll.
I got a needed reimbursement from Good Sister for what I spent on Mom's glasses. I'd forgotten I had that money coming.
There has been epic napping in an attempt to elevate my foot and get that swelling & bruising to go away. I think I'll resume that shortly.
