Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I do love animal rescue and valiant vet shows, and I make no apologies for that. I've not invested in any new scripted shows--not network shows, at least, for a while. The ones I have, if they survive their first season, I find myself losing interest, and I've been blaming the writing for that. But maybe it's just my lack of investment.

I've got the entire third season of Orphan Black on the dvr, and I just can't work up enough enthusiasm to watch it.

Animal rescue & valiant vets (I heart Dr. Jeff and his crew) and house rehab porn are about my level of engagement right now.

I really need to go grocery shopping, but I just don't feel like it. I can't even blame it on pain anymore -- the past couple days, I really was in too much pain to go out, but today, I'm at a level where it hurts, but I can still do stuff. I just don't want to.

Grocery shopping is just way too many separate steps. I can't get my brain that organized today. I can barely get my brain organized enough to load the dishwasher, because I keep getting distracted between my living room and my kitchen.

I'm sorry, Hil. Being in that much pain is exhausting, even after you're feeling better. Can you order groceries to be delivered?

There's no grocery delivery here yet. There's one store that's starting in a couple weeks. I can order online and then pick them up -- the store was built with a place to just pull up your car, and they put all the groceries into your trunk -- but you usually can't pick up until a day or two after you order.

That sucks. Even in my small town, we have Peapod.

Meijer, right? Did you see they're offering 50% off the delivery fee for the entire year? I can forward you the email if you don't have the info. t edit And you also get $25 off your first order. The 50% offer is only good through 11:59 p.m. Sunday night.

I'm not on the Meijer email list -- I just keep seeing ads the the delivery service on Facebook. If you can forward me the email, that would be great!

I think I'll probably go to Whole Foods tomorrow, because it's got most of the stuff that I want to buy, and it's small enough to not be overwhelming. But I really want some dill pickle potato chips, and the only place to get those is Target. But I know that I can't handle the noise of Target with the way I've been feeling lately. (Pain tends to kind of short-circuit everything else, so things that I can usually deal with in reasonable but limited amounts, like the noise and lights of a store like Target, become things that I can only handle in extremely limited amounts, and I'm not about to try to deal with it just for potato chips.)
