Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I'm posting this in part because I have gotten a bunch of things done in the last 24 hours, including financial stuff nobody will notice unless I mention it.

In a Discord conversation yesterday, which started with people snarking at Rudy Giuliani, someone said something about not just leaving money in a checking account. Now, I knew this already, but somehow last night that prompted me to go look at my online savings bank. It turns out that they now have a new kind/brand of savings account, with significantly better interest than my existing account. (I originally opened that account, ages ago, because at the time the interest rate was better than average interest.)

So, I told the bank website to open a shiny new savings account, and moved some money from the old savings account to the new one, then logged out and went to bed. This morning, I told it to pull some of the money I got from social security when they approved my claim from the checking account at my credit union to the new account. I'm thinking I will wait a couple of days, and move a larger sum, unless I have something specific else to do with it. It turned out, unsurprisingly, that the task wasn't difficult, once I found the executive function. (I usually don't have much executive function left late at midnight, even if I'm still awake.)

Also today I paid bills; did some PT; took out the trash and recycling; removed my somewhat battered Minuteman library card from my key chain before it broke; and made lunch for myself and Cattitude, and washed the lunch dishes, while Adrian was at the farmers market buying apples. (I can probably use the card indefinitely, but may not be able to replace it, because that library network doesn't include Boston.

Listing it like that confirms that yes, I've done a lot, both last night and today.

I have a remarkable ability to look around and think I've gotten nothing done all day, regardless of the facts. In this case, it was despite putting in several hours of paid freelance time, cooking myself lunch, and baking a batch of ginger-apple cakelings.

Yesterday, I bought my bus ticket for this weekend's trip, and my Wiscon membership.

My physical therapist (Sixta this time) continues pleased with my progress, and I have made an appointment for next week. I have calls in to get the requisite medical/insurance approvals for this. The session wasn't all good, though--I apparently moved my arm, shifting the electrodes, during the electrostim session, and felt it a lot stronger, to the point where my arm twitched out of position and I had to call for help. Sixta came right in and readjusted things, at a lower intensity to be on the safe side.

I sent out a couple of freelance invoices, and entered the last couple of weeks of withdrawals, deposits, and paypal transactions into my checkbook.

I stopped at the post office on the way in and picked up a package.
