I am not productive yet on the book, but I got out of bed in early afternoon and
Called the blood lab as I was told (I need blood tests before I can start lithium); I was told to come on in.
Posted a sign on the info kiosk saying that the park was still in danger (someone had written over my last sign with something like "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PERSON THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR A POOL). Of course, this was just below two pieces of paper that had been posted pointing out the benefits of the pool and asking for supportive signature. I have magnanimously NOT torn down my opponents' postings.
Dropped old phofacoprisc and box of associated stuff at Goodwill; I felt sad. I hope it can be repaired, sold, and will continue to do yeoman service. It cost my employer around $1,200, which made me mad; leaving it made me sad.
Went to have my blood drawn; I was told that I had taken my medicines too recently and should come back later (I wish they had told me this over the phone)
Got two shopping carts of pet stuff at Wal-Mart and bought a coffeemaker (I broke the carafe of the one I had and could not find a new carafe that would replace the old carafe)
Dropped empty carbonators at UPS (for more info, go to www.soda-club.com)
Got drugs at drugstore
Dropped some at C's and some at Town Lake Animal Center
Exchanged a toner cartridge for $48
Agree to pick up C tomorrow at 8:30 so she can make her food-stamps interview at 9:00... and I can get my blood down
Talked with C about our problems as we drove around.

I've actually been pretty calm recently. I enjoyed Maid To Order with Ally Sheedy even though it was silly.
