who only by moving can balance

1. I got home to a letter from the DWP informing me that I need to apply for PIP. This at least answers the question about whether I tell them that my hips have started dislocating on the regular.

2. I just did a round of upgrades on my laptop, and also installed Google Chrome for troubleshooting purposes, and I know it's probably the fault of the former not the latter but nonetheless "[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot/efi" is not a good error message and I have been travelling for six hours today so I am doing nothing more with it right now.

e: aaaaaand problem solved. (It was actually a two-parter -- to get as far as booting again I had to do dpkg --configure -a, following which there were desktop environment problems that were fixed by the above. Reinstalling lightdm and mate by themselves didn't do it.)

BECAUSE I DIDN'T. Met ewt for elevenses-slash-lunch yesterday, was loaned a partial exoskeleton (enough thermoplastic ring splits to do one on each digit) that inevitably doesn't fit me quite right, and it is still enough better than not that I am grumblingly conceding I'm going to have to get some of my own.
