Getting out of a hole
I had a bad night’s sleep again, and ended up having to sleep at 5 today for 15 minutes, broken by the slow and neverending grind. It’s now been almost three weeks in this basement, and so I’m looking forward to living above ground next week.

Toothy toothy
After four weeks, it was time for an inspection of my Invisalign, so this afternoon I went to the dentist. They poked and prodded and noticed that one of my attachments had detached. (The attachments are little nubs of plastic glued to your teeth to increase leverage.) So I have one on back order to […]

Gift horse, mouth, etc
As part of the Invisalign program, you take regular photographs of your teeth for the orthodontist to check, rather than in-person visits. This involves an app on your phone, and a large piece of blue plastic that you insert in your mouth, to pull your lips back so that you can get a good shot […]

No boat trip
We woke late today, rushed to the ferry terminal at Edmonds for the 11:30am sailing, and arrived at 11:15 at the back of the queue. It wasn’t clear if we’d make it or if we’d have to wait until the 1:30pm ferry, so rather than risk sitting in the car for two and a half […]

A blur
I don’t remember much of today at all; I woke up early, played a fun game of Blood Bowl that ended with a 3-2 loss in the final turn (the best way to go with anything) and then it gets vague.

On ice
I had a Blood Bowl match scheduled for 7 this morning but my opponent overslept, so I went back to bed and woke up about 10. The morning was a blur of driving to the grocery store, the coffee shop and the bakery, all in preparation for going to the Kraken Community Iceplex in the […]

Low and slow
I did a workout today, not realising how worn out I was from yesterday’s marathon effort. Or perhaps it’s the exhaustion of being in a basement for two weeks…

Going longer
I did an hour’s worth of exercise in VR tonight. By the end, I could hear the sweat dripping off me. I started with some fairly easy moves to 80s pop music, then attempted a 26 minute workout to heavy metal, including such monstrosities as Pantera, Megadeth and Rob Zombie, all the greats of my […]

Another jab
This morning, after I’d dropped the girls at school, my wife and I went up to the Shoreline Community College to get booster shots. We’ve been unsuccessfully searching for a place to get a shot for a week or two (trying various drugstores in Ballard, all with at least a two week wait for an […]

Late wake up
I woke today and was utterly convinced that it was Saturday, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. Then the alarm went off, because it was Tuesday, to my great offence.
