I don't really have a bucket list but if I did, eating Chinese food takeout, the whole meal, with chopsticks, would be near the top of the list.

Today at work I spent most of my time finishing Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard by Liz Murray. The title could be shorter. As for the book, it was good but it was also incredibly depressing. In the beginning I had forgotten that it was a real story and was surprised by how realistic it seemed. And then remembering that it was in fact non-fiction brought on all the sadness. It hurts to know that situations like the ones depicted in this book are occurring on a daily basis and are all too common.

When I wasn't reading, I added a few rows to my scarf and I did a little actual work. Yesterday we had to cancel a few shows because people forgot to transfer movies on Thursday night. That was all fixed today but the picture randomly went out on one of the movies when it got to the movie (after all the trailers and ads played), and a projector had a scaler malfunction so the preshow looked all snowy like a blocked channel back in the day. The scaler was fixed by unplugging it and blowing on it. High-tech stuff. The other issue was solved by restarting everything. Another high-tech solution.

After work I made dinner and then did nothing with the rest of my night. Other than reading articles online and watching YouTube videos. Maybe I can find something more productive to do tomorrow. Probably not.

I got my bill from the urologist for my surgery and after insurance covered about $850, I only owe $1200. Only. That is still a whole lot of money. Like whole bunch. But I was expecting it to cost more so there is that. I kind of feel like with my knee I got charged separately for the anesthesia but I could be wrong. And I hope I am because I don't really want to pay more that $1200.
