I made the next psych appt (I try to call when I think his book will be open to get the best choice) for 1/8 and then called the chair company. The customer service person had a lot of trouble sending me email with the chair specs so I could identify the spring and it turned out I should have used words for letters. She misheard several letters in my edress. I finally got it, and the actual seat part seems to be one piece. I explained to her that I just needed the spring, so she's going to ask the "guys in the back" tomorrow and see if one of them has one in their toolbox or if the entire seat part has to be replaced. I don't know if that means I have to send it up to them, though, or what, so I hope they find a spring!
lizzibabe is coming tonight to haul books back and forth again so I can catalog them. If I have time tomorrow, I might go up to Kaiser Fair Oaks and have my glasses adjusted; they keep sliding down my nose.
