The latest: - Next attempt at Fancy Fridge delivery/Dead Fridge removal will be the Friday after next (the 16th). Assistance in moving the washing machine out of the fridge installers' way and putting it back when they're done has been secured.
- Because I went ahead and ordered a bunch of frozen food based on when I originally expected the Fancy Fridge to be delivered, having momentarily forgotten that nothing like that ever works out right the first time, I had to go yesterday and buy a small chest freezer. So when this is all over with, I'll have two fridges and a freezer. I am... oddly content with this. I've wanted a chest freezer for years anyway, and they're cheap, so what the hell.
- I had my shot this afternoon. Just the one, although the card they gave me still has a reminder on the back to return for round 2 (update your forms, CDC). The process was not too arduous. Uncannily like voting, in some respects (in my old high school's gymnasium, a lot of the same people involved in traffic control, etc). So far, nothing much is happening, but it's only been about four hours.
- Someone from a home heating contractor is coming by Friday to look around and give me a quote on installing a mini-split heat pump for my living room, which, if I can swing it, would mean never screwing around with seasonal air conditioning in here again, and that would be amazingly good shit.
- Tomorrow's class meeting involves each member of the class presenting a critique of another member's rough draft. If you deliberately set out to create a situation that would cause me social agony, that's what you would end up with. So there's that.
- I'm starting to get summaries back from the translator I'm working with of the material we're mining out of the POW newspapers, and it is shaping up to be really good stuff. Not being able to afford the money or time to just get the whole pile done may turn out to be the best thing that happened to this project.
