This morning I was supposed to have breakfast/lunch with one of my friends but something came up so that didn't happen. Instead, I met my sister over at my grandma's earlier than we had originally planned. We ended up putting pretty much everything back where we originally found it. For the most part. My dad said to leave the stuff and make a list but the only reason we had pulled stuff out in the first place was because we thought my aunt and grandma had already taken everything they were going to take and that whatever was left was in jeopardy of being sold. Learning otherwise, we put stuff back. My sister was still upset about getting into with my dad yesterday so she wasn't even the least bit interested in making a list. So I put some of her stuff on my list just to be safe. I am still in the mindset of wanting to protect the things my grandparents made from being sold and keeping them in the family. I don't know how likely the selling situation actually is but since it was mentioned once, I feel justified in being slightly afraid of the possibility. After putting everything back we sat around and talked for awhile, mostly about childhood memories, before parting ways.

I pretty much spent the rest of the day editing the scans I made of my grandma's book. It took forever but I eventually managed to finish it. I think it looks good. The whole process was extended longer than it should have been when I tried adding a plugin to Gimp so I could save a multi-page PDF. I messed with it for a really long time and in the end only ended up getting an error. This left me adding each page into a Word document and saving it as a PDF. I had to do this a few different times because I kept noticing bits I needed to erase from the pictures. I'm finished now, though.

While working on that I watched YouTube videos and eventually stuff on Netflix. I started by watching the movie Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Taye Diggs. Not a great movie but it was a fun movie. The jackets and the fighting reminded me of The Matrix but it wasn't nearly as good in terms of plot or quality. After that I marathoned the first season of Archer. Such a funny show. I'm a fan.

With my schedule cut back at the theater my days are all screwed up. Tomorrow is apparently Tuesday and I work two o'clock to eight o'clock. That is a normal shift in the other positions at the theater but not projection. It has been years since I've had to work that shift and I hate it. Mostly because it interferes with dinner. I like eating around six o'clock, not sometime after eight o'clock. Oh well.
