nwhikerNever got around to writing yesterday, it was a difficult long day.
1. Not doing well. Maybe it's the letdown from coming back from vacation, maybe it's how Perry is hurting, maybe it's just random, but I'm just feeling very down these past few days, and today is really bad. Linnea forgot her computer charger here last night, and trying to get it to her, or purchase and send on, has stressed me out to the point of tears. Ah well. It'll get better. It also looks like my brother and family can't make it for Christmas, which sucks, and that my sister and BIL don't want to come for Thanksgiving, which leaves me stuck making TDay dinner for my MIL and my crazy-ass SIL.
2. Our old Sonicare toothbrush is slooowly dying and it pauses during brushing from time to time, so we replaced it with the Sonicare DiamondClean. Bought a two pack of handles from Costco, one white and one pink, since Linnea also needed a replacement. Well. That was not a success and I'd return it, only I know Linnea wants hers. The new model? Has, like, four modes, BUT the times are divided into 6, not 4. I mean, who the fuck divides their mouth into 6 zones? Not me. They use 6 20-second intervals for 2 minutes of brushing. Since my mouth isn't hexavalent, I've now reduced my brushing time by 1/3. And I think David is going nuts because it doesn't appear to "reset" and he's been apparently getting 8 intervals. Hate this thing already. I'm going to go back to my 3/4 dead handle until it is 100% dead and not working. Also, an app for my toothbrush? Fuck. Off. I hate it when companies "innovate" and instead make a product less functional than the previous version.
3. Yesterday morning I drove Perry to rowing (he was nervous about driving) and waited for him, damn, I'm a sucker sometimes. Anyhow, on the way in we saw the full moon setting. I have seen orange moons in my life, some of them quite impressive. This? I had never seen a moon that orange, deep pumpkin orange, likely from all the smoke in the air. It was impressive. Alas, driving, so no photos. Linnea saw it too and agreed. By time Perry texted dh to grab the camera and go out to check it out, it had hidden behind the trees.
