In Summary:
* Today was not what I'd hoped it would be. Still no word from the clinical trials I'm hoping to get into. /sigh. The time that I saved by doing my laundry yesterday was spent digging through my closet to find the box with my cold weather clothes, then hanging them up. 'Tis the season for that.

In Summary:
* Decided to do my weekly laundry today, rather than on Monday as I ordinarily do. I'm still waiting to hear if I'm being accepted into clinical trials for my eye treatment. If I'm accepted, it is very possible I'll be called tomorrow morning and asked to report for my first day's treatment. If that happens it won't be necessary for me to rush around worrying about doing my laundry, I've taken care of that today.

There was no address on the bag, but a phone number that reguired a door dash account number. I don't have a door dash account so... free food from the universe. lol.

In Summary:

And with an early enough start time that I should be able to listen to the whole game before my brain shuts down for the night.
