(no subject)

  This past week I've stopped taking prophylactic pain meds on days that I woke up not actually in pain. Made it through Tuesday on nothing until evening Tylenol in my sinus meds, and yesterday on nothing at all. Yesterday the thing that really hurt by day's end was my elbows, which noted. Today, well, was no longer sunny and cold: was above 0C and dank and yeah, the operated knee complained loudly. Tomorrow is friends' Christmas bash which I said I'd go to if it isn't snowing. Tomorrow will snow, of course. And their station has no elevators, which surprises me. I'd have thought all the stations north of Eglinton would, since they're now spaced over a mile apart (2 km, evidently.) Cabs cost and the dispatchers muddle the name badly so the cab goes  to somewhere way downtown and the driver gets pissed off. So I suppose I'm glad it will snow tomorrow.

In an attempt to brighten the season I bought solar operated Christmas lights from Canadian Tired. The ones I had before operated individually. These ones have a solar battery like you see on bike shares. No instructions of course. Maybe I'm supposed to turn something on, but there are no switches, and my lights don't. I am disappoint.
