I just ran into one of my milk crate full of records with my pinkie toe. OUCH. It recovered just fine but that initial ouch isn't fun.
I called N1 and N3 tonight. (I think it's a little late to call N2.) N3 was telling me about how he does calculus online. Apparently, you type a series of characters to make a math symbol. And the computer corrects your problems after you submit each one. If you're taking a quiz you can change it X number of times but if its an exam, you can only change it twice and then it locks you out. He was also telling me about his biology class. Lots to memorize he says. N1 told me about computer games that use artificial intelligence. I was telling her about the shows I've been watching. One is called "Upload" about uploading people's beings into an electronic avatar and people are assigned to watched them from earth via computers. The two main characters fall in love- one human and one avatar. I finished watched all of season 1 and there is probably going to be a season 2 but not until 2021. Also, N1 and I discussed going to the doctor because I have my annual appointment on Monday. We were talking about getting vaccines. She relayed a story about when she was young and we were at the doctor for her annual appointment and she decided to be stoic and get the shot and after that I said that we could go out to eat as a treat because of how well she did and that she could pick the place. I love that the kids relay their memories with me. Did not talk with N2 because by the time I was off the phone with the other two, it was nearly 10 and I think that's too late to call someone, unless they're in an earlier time zone.
I did laundry today. There are three washers and three dryers downstairs on the lowest level. I put my laundry in the washer and set an alarm for when it should be done. (The machine has a count down.) When I came back, all three dryers were in use. They have timers, too, so I set my alarm for 20 minutes because one of them had 15 minutes left on it. When I went down again, there were a few people in there just about to leave, so I got to use a dryer. It takes 30 minutes for the washers and 60 minutes for the dryers. I set an alarm on my phone so I get down there again relatively close to when the machines are done. It costs $1.75 per wash/dry. So that's $3.50 per load. I do take my laundry to my mom's sometimes, but that's a long time to be over there.
I am enjoying my new apartment. Its been a couple weeks since I've swept, mopped and vacuumed the floors. I will do that tomorrow. I've been here 5 weeks as of today. I should also go to the grocery store to get a few items. I try to use the twenty-items-max check outs because there isn't usually a line on the left side. The right side always has a line and all the regular lanes have a long line down an aisle that is perpendicular to the line of checkout lanes. The left side, however, doesn't usually have a line and if they do, it goes quickly and is shorter than the right side. I brought my chairs and table in from the balcony because they were fixing them all week. Today was the last day they were going to be here. I'd put the furniture back out there, but I'm waiting for my colorful lights to show up and I want room to stand while putting the strand around the railing. I should clear off the dining room table. Its covered in notes and bills. Luckily, only one hasn't been paid. It's going to go through automatically later in the month, but I could call and pay it early if I wanted to. I took out the trash today, too.
I've been eating a lot lately. Not huge amounts, but frequently. I get hungry about every 2 to 3 hours. And Whole Foods has stopped carrying my dried seaweed that I like. I should start keeping track of what I'm eating, again. I have gained maybe 4 pounds since I moved here. That's a lot of excess calories! The weather was nice today. I should've gone for a walk. Maybe if it's warm again tomorrow I will walk. But, I'm still at about a 40 pound loss. I hope my doctor notices on Monday. I think I need to lose another 40.
I changed my "theme"/background. It's very pink! Let me know if you like it.
