Done Since 2021-01-10

Meanwhile, the turds in DC are doing their best to sabotage as much as they can before Tuesday. I'm still expecting 45 to pardon many, if not all, of the insurrectionists.

I didn't get much of anything done all week. Can't tell whether it's clinical depression, chronic stress, burnout, some combination of those, or something else.

I sang one song at the GAFilk dead dog. That's it. Did not go to the LAFA filk sing last night. According to Riley, four of my songs were covered between the two of them.

I made new vaccine appointments at WhidbeyHealth -- their site let me schedule both shots in the series. (An hour or three later, the state went back to Phase 1, but (unlike Island Drug) WhidbeyHealth said they will honor any appointments already booked. One of the rare cases where I didn't procrastinate, and it made a difference. Will that make it easier not to procrastinate next time? Probably not.

We had a major wind storm Tuesday night, and spent all of Wednesday and half of Thursday without power. Seriously considering getting a proper backup generator; installation would be expensive but it might be worth it. Next year? I ran down Molly's 12v battery charging laptops. You might think that an electric car with 50-odd kilowatt-hours in its main battery bank would run down charging two laptops. You'd be wrong. Everything except the motor runs off that 12v battery, and it doesn't charge when the propulsion system is powered down.

Thursday morning I called roadside assistance and got a jump. I'm going to order a lithium-ion jump starter -- they're not too expensive and apparently work better than most of the lead-acid ones. Which was somewhat surprising.
