There are ridiculously sexy men in suits doing a Flamenco inspired group dance! Why is tins not generally a Thing? I'd love watching fashion week dance routines instead of boring catwalks:
* I managed to get a few hours of sleep which was not nearly enough, but very much better than no sleep. Squirrel's car wouldn't go, so we couldn't take it. It turned out to be just as well. a Squirrel friend came over and it turns out to be something he can fix tomorrow himself. I made it exactly on time, as it they were unlocking the doors as I pulled in. They estimated an hour when they figured in cooling time so they wouldn't burn themselves. The actual work of cutting a new cable etc. and installing it was half an hour which sounds right given the car's anatomy. I had tea in their waiting room then went and joined the line just in time to catch a bench spot sitting down. I got the last open spot when they came with the Car, so that too was a win. The fix it price was under estimate, but not by much. I scraped it together, but the insurance auto-draw is now imperiled as well as a bill not paid to make it work. I'll check when things clear to see how bad, but my current shortage is likely in the 120.00 range. Part of that is legitimately my fault for buying... was it toilet paper, meds, and litter? at the beginning of the month. I remember the meds were extra high as I had to buy a sliding scale thing on top of the covered and small copay things. the sliding scale thing was a 6ish month supply, but one has to buy it all at once since it's a tube instead of pills or ampules. I'm going try to get it together to set up an auction over the weekend. I'm far too tired to do it properly today and tomorrow will be the same.
Anyway, I made copies of some useful lineage charts at the library before returning Margaret of York, luckily they fit on two legal sized pages. I got food away, messed with the garden, and a tank cleaned before it got too hot to move about much. I made good progress on the big box of late '90's Vertigos before I reached the "I can't stand another minute point. I filled up a the dinner meds organizer with a month's worth of doses. First meal ended up being bread and the last of the snack nuts as it was too hot and I was too tired by that point to make anything. I feel like I did pretty well for three hours of sleep in the unkindest season as far as my body is concerned.
