December 22, 2016

 This morning I could have gotten up super early because I was wide awake way too early, but I refused to get out of bed until after my alarm went off.

When I did finally get up it felt like most of my day was dedicated to crocheting. My fingers and wrists certainly feel like that was the case. I finished the body of my sister's bear along with all of the appendages except for the tail, which I would like to finish before I go to bed so tomorrow all I have to do is sew things on. I should be able to finish everything tomorrow but I will probably drag it out until Saturday.

While crocheting I watched a lot of stuff. I finished watching the first season of The Magicians and that was frustrating. The best friend kind of redeemed herself a little bit but then I was reminded why I'm not a fan of watching TV. Freaking cliffhangers. And the season felt more like it ended one episode too early rather than just having a cliffhanger. I have no idea when the new season starts but it's already too far away. Other than the best friend, the most annoying thing about the show was how often they used the f-word and the equal number of times it was muted because that is not allowed on the Syfy Channel. Makes me curious what channel it was filmed for originally. And if I can see the unedited version sometime.

I also finished the first season of The OA. It also ended in a cliffhanger but had more of a logical ending point. It sets up the next season, unlike The Magicians which felt like it was setting up another episode. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about the show overall. The synchronized, interpretive modern dance that is used to do things is awkward to watch, making me feel awkward on behalf of the characters doing it. We'll see if I continue watching when season two comes out.

I took a break from crocheting to run a couple errands. I stopped at the bank to deposit a check and then went to Walgreens. The original plan was to get a Christmas card, tape, and scissors. I wanted the scissors for my kitchen because right now I have one pair that I have been moving back and forth between my office and the kitchen. It seems like every time I need them they are in the other place, and that was getting annoying. Problem fixed. I also got a few other things at Walgreens, including a small whiteboard for my fridge that I am going to use to write down my weekly work schedule. Right now I look at the schedule online and end up checking it every night before I go to bed and often again in the morning just to double-check. It seems like it will be much easier just to write it out once at the beginning of the week and then won't have to constantly check it online.

After Walgreens I stopped by my Mom's house to get some newspapers, a UPS package, and some magnets because I thought I would need them for the whiteboard. Turns out the whiteboard came with magnets, better safe than sorry though.

This morning I thought about calling the city about my lack of water bill but didn't. Then when I got home I had a bill in my mailbox, so it's a good thing I procrastinated on calling.

This evening I started watching Christmas movies. I made it through Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Fred Claus. There are still several that I want to watch so the movie watching will continue tomorrow.


Now I'm going to crochet that tail so I can be done with it, and then go to bed. I'm looking forward to sleep, as per usual.
