This is just a boring update. Please feel free to skip.
Lessee... walked 2.5 miles total Friday, 2.5 Saturday, 1.5 Sunday, stayed at home all day Monday, got in a couple miles yesterday. The walking yesterday was not all at once, of course; the heat index was over 100 and I was going from one air-conditioned place to another when I got restless.
Yesterday was not a good day. Got about four hours of sleep before waking up with anxious thoughts of all the things I needed to do now! now! right awayyyy!!! Of course the rational bits of my brain insisted that (A) nothing actually needed to be done at five in the bloody a.m. when nobody else was awake, and (B) anything which needed to be done later would be done best if I got more than four hours of sleep. The rational bits of my brain were not in charge. As it turned out, by the time I could have done anything useful, I was barely capable of sitting upright. In fact, yesterday was the day I learned how to adjust my computer's headphones so that I can listen to Launchcast lying down, because there was no way I could sit up more than about 5 minutes without being hit by waves of nausea and sheer misery.
Eventually, after spending most of the day lying down (with frequent breaks to go guzzle more water), I was able to get myself to the library where I could read in the coolth. So, after waking up too early with thoughts of all the things I needed to do Right Then, how much useful stuff did I finally do yesterday? You guessed it: Absolutely none.
On the plus side, I got confirmation in the mail that the bureaucrap I dealt with last Monday is something I don't need to deal with again for a few months as long as the situation remains the same (which it won't, but I'll deal with change as it happens). There's still too much other paperwork to be filled out and too many phone calls to be made, but it's good to know that one thing less is hanging over my head.
