A bit of a mess today. Woke up early around 8:15, stayed in bed for a while, got ready, finished around 9:00, was up and about because we were going out. Mom and dad were still asleep. Used the computer a bit -- turns out Dad was coughing all night and was pretty sick, so my mom sent me out instead. I swung by Noah's Bagels (nova lox, plain + 2 blueberries with cream cheese, 1 with the CC on the side, farmhouse bacon/ham/egg/CC sandwich on an onion bagel), then went to Staples to get some more index cards and some flat manila envelopes -- they were short staffed and the cashier took 4 or 5 minutes to arrive, but I kept my irritation in, thank goodness my politeness is baked in -- and walked inside Safeway into the Starbucks and got a large vanilla latte for mom (extra shot, 2 pumps vanilla). Spent a little under an hour out, with what everything, and arrived home around 11:02. Had my bagel and some coffee (I made coffee for Dad on the AeroPress also) over an episode of The Golden Girls, "We Have No Havanas". No work today. I tried allocating it for Spanish and History, and I did watch 4/5ths of the videos and even took notes, but my focus was all over the place. It was like my work was smeared from History to Clods to Spanish and back to History, and it was so time-consuming I just couldn't stand it. It felt like I was leaving myself out in the cold to smolder. And all the while, the day was so bright and sunny and fresh outside. I wish I had done out on a walk, maybe a photowalk on my RP or even my Tele 6 -- I haven't used that half frame camera in ages, I've still had the black and white Fomapan in it -- I know I felt a lot better after dinner (sour dried/smoked fish and shrimp herb soup and some marinated fried fish).
