Late November 2020: Running Through a Checklist

[dewline]

Therapy day, check.

New glasses, check. They work, they aren't flaking off protective UV coating, they aren't pinching me at the temples, they just work.

Picked up Origins of Totalitarianism at the local library, check. Part of my ongoing citizen self-education process. It's probably a book we all ought to read, regardless of how global politics seems to be going.

Trying to figure out if I need anything currently on offer from the Serif Infinity Store. Haven't made up my mind about that. I want to design and print a few custom gift cards for assorted friends and relatives, and should I just use the stuff I already have on the hard drive for that and get on with it, or procrastinate and waffle and/or be waylaid by ADHD issues (if my doctor's right) until it's too late again?

I am starting to be tempted to believe we might get to Inauguration United States 2021 without too many additional Complications. I know that believing such a thing is dangerous right now.

More as it comes to mind...

Glad to know they're keeping the quality consistent.

It's taking some getting used to because of how I asked them to set up the "far/near" divide in the lenses when I placed the order. Any issues I have with that are on me.

But for desk work, these are perfect.

My next pair of glasses will likely be bifocals. Any recommendations or tips?

[dewline]

I went with progressive lenses rather than classic bifocals, mainly because the previous pair were also progressives. I may change my mind about that over the next five years, but aside from that detail? I'm not sure what to advise. I'll have to check the order as I finally placed it and get back to you.

Is that the Arendt or something more recent?

[dewline]

Hannah Arendt's book, definitely. I am unaware of anything else sharing the title by anyone else, and I didn't want to read anything else.

Inauguration complication for you. Trump says that Biden has to prove he received 80,000,000 votes.

Well, that's not what the Constitution says you have to do to become the President, we'll see what happens when the Electoral College meets in a little under 3 weeks and when Congress does the final vote tally January 3 or thereabouts.

Trump is pulling more Obedience Test Bullshit here. He still thinks the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights are crimes against him simply by existing and being trusted over and above his lies.
