Well, as the day has turned out, I got a lot less done than I figured. For one thing, the day on which the town dump accepts paints and solvents - an impressive collection of which my stepdad made over the years, most of which don't show any signs, when moved from side to side, of containing any more liquid - wasn't today, so it was a good thing I called before we piled the junk in the Ford.
Then it turned out the little game of having the pharmacy and the doctor touch base to okay the refill of my BP meds never quite played out yesterday, so I shall have to get the parties together again on Monday for a retry. The pharmacy claimed they sent a fax, then claimed they called but got no reply; the doctor's office says no fax was received and that calls from pharmacies are put right through to doctors, and though I still have a few days of meds, I had been hoping to take care of getting them over the weekend.
I don't know quite why - though I have my suspicions - but Galina came up to my office to watch television this afternoon, which put a full nelson on my productivity, but I've really not spent any time at all with her in the recent past, so I figure it's all for the better.
On the other hand, I had planned to translate somewhere around 5000 source words today, and I'm only about halfway there. So, donning my "replan" hat (that's the term used at NASA when a schedule, such as the one for mission operations, has to be redone in real time), I need to figure out what my next few days will look like.
Cheers...
