In which there’s, uh, random stuff.

Kitchen sink’s been filling up with water from the pipes, so I haven’t done dishes in days. Plumber’s coming tomorrow to fix it, but then I’ll have to do the dishes.

Already cleared out the cupboard under the sink, so the visit shouldn’t be too terrible.

Leaving for DC on the 30th, to see Amma July 1-2, so need to do laundry and organize my crap for travel. Probably need to buy lens solution, too. Have to check (and pay for) my bag because I bought a discounted ticket, so at least I can take full-sized products.

Have to wash a wrap or two, too, for flying. I’ve learned over the years that a wrap is the only way to handle the warmth of airports (throw it over one’s shoulder, out of the way) and the chill of flights (use it as a blanket). Jackets are useless: too bulky to carry, and too short to cover legs and feet.

Sleep cycle’s such that I’m generally awake all night, often reading, until dawn, then sleeping ’til 11 or 1 or 3. We have blackout curtains so with the fan and/or air conditioner on it’s easy sleeping even with the sun up.

Work schedule is still part-time, 5 to 10pm, but my employer lost the chat contract to a call center in India, so we’re all going back on phones in the next 4-6 months. I’m annoyed as hell and considering other work. They’ve never given me a raise, they never manage to give me the few days off I need each year, and policy is ever hostile and shitty. Of course, a job change would probably mean equally shitty policy and even shittier hours, so, well, we’ll see. Maybe something will come up in the neighborhood. Maybe I could check groceries, up the street at that co-op or something. Get me out of the damn building.
