Major updates:

Moving.  As of January, I'll be living at 1720 Como Ave SE, #A, Minneapolis MN 55414.  The local big industry for that area is the University of Minnesota. 

Looking for a place, mostly through Craigslist ads, taught me things I hadn't known about Minneapolis and the rest of the Twin Cities Metro.  Also, I learned a new-to-me slang term:  "420 friendly."  (Marijuana user.)

The people placing ads were more diverse than I had anticipated.  I would've been content to remain ignorant of the "free rent for a liberal female" guys.  (I suspect it would make better economic sense to hire prostitutes.)  But the pregnant lesbian sounded like a fairly nice person.

What got me an offer was mentioning on the mailing list for Mnstf (my local science fiction club) that I was looking.  And the offer came at an author reading which I'd almost decided I was too tired to attend.  And which was in conflict with meeting my Adult Children Anonymous sponsor, till the sponsor needed to change the date of the meeting.

Medical stuff.  I have a mild case of cerebral palsy; hadn't had any treatment for it in decades.  I decided to find out if there was any medication or therapy that would be useful to me.

The neurologist referred me to a speech therapist and a physical therapist.

She also referred me to an audiologist.  He cleared up much of my recent hearing difficulty increase by tinkering with my hearing aid.  (One hearing aid; my right ear doesn't have enough hearing for a second aid to be useful.)  And by cleaning something I hadn't realized needed more than minimal cleaning.  (It was embarrassing to find out that what I'd thought was a rivet was the microphone.)
