Yesterday the bed arrived and we managed to get almost everything done AND still leave town well-rested at a reasonable hour. 

I went to bed with an aching back (because it's hard work to take apart a queen bed and schlep it to the dumpster with the five-foot-high rim), and we had to shift around a bit to get comfortable, but part of that was that we were finally able to share a bed again after some time.  And we woke up feeling good -- my back didn't hurt at all, and neither did Jodi's.

We made it through Waldo and Lawtey without being pulled over (I imagined that my 'imagine no GOP' license plate might have caused a radar gun to malfunction) and are now sitting around with Jodi's uncle Jimmy at Panera, having had a light lunch.  We'll probably meet my aunt Linda at Penzey's Spices to pick out a wedding gift for her daughter (and because I've been looking forward to going to a Penzey's store for a while now).

We'll be hanging out with family for most of the weekend, so my access to the Internet may be limited by etiquette.  (I say this less as an apology or a warning than as a gripe -- but when I'm with them I probably won't even want to be online.)  I'll post photos later, I'm sure.

Three things I accomplished today:
  • Had a healthy breakfast (Kashi and light soymilk)
  • Found a better solution to a potential loss of data
  • Threw out the old bed in preparation for receiving the new one tomorrow (the mattress is on the floor)

Three things that made me happy today:
  • Floatpoint (rich, poignant, and easy-to-play interactive fiction; WELL worth installing the small program that runs it.  First time I've ever misted up while playing a game.)
  • Being asked for permission to be quoted in an Information Today NewsBreak article (forthcoming) about the issue I mentioned here (I said "sure, though I'm not speaking for my employer, so 'systems librarian and blogger Ben Ostrowsky' would be most accurate")
  • Informing the executive director that my blog would be quoted -- and getting quiet applause, a thumbs-up, and "I think you put it very well."
sylvar: (Oh purr!)
Now that the holiday season is drawing to a close, I've used some gift money to treat myself to a few things I've been wanting:
I also got a few things that weren't just for me:
And if I can just find out where exactly Office Depot delivered my assortment of disposable fountain pens, I'll have fun with those soon too.

Bed shopping is continuing.  It occurs to me that maybe we should buy a low-profile foundation first, and then if that doesn't provide the support Jodi needs, we could go for a new mattress.
