sporky_ratHowever, I don't remember how to start IRC on the commandline for Ubuntu (I do remember my password but not the instructions).
Also, um. How does one go about updating Ubuntu? I'm not quite sure which edition I'm on but it's definitely a few years old. (When did I take Microbiology? At least that long ago.)

Think I've found a local doctor. Maybe next week I can get an appointment. I'm worried about swollen ankles now, too, so I have more to check on than just depression/anxiety. Really, though, there's no easy remedy for being in Florida, which is the main cause of despair and unhappiness -- probably more than constant care of the Mom.

The Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd by Richard Zacks
August 8th, 2017 05:40 pmarchersangela really interesting book about the pirate turned pirate hunter who wasn't as ruthless or had as much treasure as people thought.
after his time as a pirate in the caribbean he settled in new york city, married a wealthy widow & became respectable. through a chance meeting he is commissioned by william III of england to capture pirates in the indian ocean. run-ins with the english navy, his crew not being paid because they can't find any pirates & crossing paths with his old shipmate (& mutineer ETA: against kidd) robert culliford lead to his eventual downfall.

something strange in the neighborhood
August 4th, 2017 05:55 pmarchersangelone of the smokers that goes to the smoking area near our place says that "something" is in her house. doors keep opening and closing on their own.
well, it could be that the air moving through their open windows is doing that. but in my brother's room there are random cold spots, like you left a gallon of milk on the floor for several moments. as well as spots that are very warm. and sometimes the living room & kitchen get cold spots too. maybe this has something to do with our ghost adventures viewing problem.

murder songs are really the best
August 4th, 2017 03:25 pmsporky_ratI've been procrastinating on something, but I don't know what. My desk is mostly clean - there's a few items that need to find a home and there's some items that live on my desk but don't have a container or something for them (digital camera, non-pop-up sticky notes, mini-stapler). My small planner/journal that's been keeping me on track these last few days is sitting on my desk too, but it moves around the house with me (hurrah cargo pockets!) so there's that.
( paper brain - planner/journal ) NEW MEDS. ( more information about my new meds and how they're going - nothing weird ) I am also feeling productive again! And desirous of going out and doing some walking which leads too....
WALKING. I did the first episode of Zombies! Run again and did 2.7km (1.678 miles) yesterday. I need to build the muscles on the sides of my shinbones back up. They used to be okay (lo these many years ago) but having issues with walking for so long has sort of atrophied them. But I'm working on it! Slow but steady. Eventually I'll be able to run again.
This later part of August has a Dystopia Rising event. I need to check my stuff and see if it's usable. There's a date on starter equipment (I don't have to worry about my weapon at least, it's my fists [as represented by boffers]). All my stuff expires this month, so I think I can use it this month and it's no good next month. I can live with that. If I can't run fast enough to get out of the way of the Zed, then I don't deserve to be a Red Star.
I need to work on my Herald Boards this month too, since I'm teaching a heraldry class at Kingdom A&S. (Not my idea, I was told to do so by the Class-o-Crat, who happens to also be one of the Gleann Abhann Gemstone Heralds).
