Jan. 10th, 2010 12:55 pmThe good: finding reeeeally probable new roommates. (They are writery and fannish and Awesome and I had a completely marvelous time with them when they came to visit and check out the room and stuff.)
The bad: The comfy just-under-knee-high socks that I got a bunch of because they were comfy and long? Shrank in the wash. They still fit my feet fine, but they come up about half what they used to. I'm not sure if this is a case of my aide miswashing them (I told her cold and low dry, but no idea what she did) or some weirdness with the sock or what, and if I can find the brand info I may write them going "omgwtfhalp"
The even more bad: my chair's side to side tilt function is half broken, which means I can tilt left but not right ... which means I am currently lopsided, with no way to recenter. And the chair travels at about the pace of a narcoleptic snail if it's offcenter. And I keep leaning even more left because of stupid gravity.
...and my backup chair does not have batteries. It has things that used to be batteries, but they don't hold a charge more than about five minutes, or two if I actually do anything with the chair. And while the two chairs are potentially battery-compatible, they are complicated critters and you can't even find them, much less replace them, without specialized knowledge and a boatload of tools and probably a degree in engineering
