Worked from home

[silver_chipmunk]

I accomplished a few things. Watched a genre training on Silkpunk. Signed up for Edelweisse. Almost finished my long worked on blog post. And read in the book I'm reading for the committee.

And during lunch I took the big step and made a doctor's appointment to have a checkup. Since it's been at least 10 years since I had one, long time readers of this journal may have noted. So on Feb. 2nd I go in. So that's the big thing for today.

Aside from that, the Kid called a few times, enthused about her new mini washer and mini dryer.

After work I Skyped the FWiB, and that was nice. Then had my Al-anon meeting by Zoom. It went OK, we ran out of time though.

Called Oldest Brother three times, and that's about all I did today.

Going to go to bed as soon as I finish here.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My health plan.

3. The Kid happy and enthused.

4. Interesting book for committee.

5. Almost done with the blog post.

6. Bed soon.

I was going to ask you for a definition of Silkpunk but then I had the sense to google it this morning. It looks interesting but after reading a screen or so of information it occurred to me that I'm already overloaded with things I can't keep up with and it would foolish to dive into something new. I need multiple copies of myself to do all the things I want to do, only I'm pretty sure it would end up in a brawl because all of me is as disorganized and stubborn and would want to do all the same things as the original me.

You should read Kiln People by David Brin. The idea of the book is that people have found a way to make partial copies of themselves to do more than one thing at a time. The partial copy has a limited life span, and at the end of it downloads its experiences and memories to the original. It sounds weird but Brin makes the idea work.

I have added the audio version of the book to my list at Audible. I'll have available credits sometime next month. Around the middle of the month assuming I remember correctly. Right now we're on a Terry Pratchett.
