  A) this video will change your life FOREVER, and B) MY GOD, NEW THEME FOR THE BLAKE/LEIGHTON SPY AU FIC, Y/Y/MFY?
  
• After discussion with Ari last night, I listened to last week's CHPC's service (and omg there are so many things I don't like about CHPC service ... though wow, Prayers of the People had way more participants, with real organic energy, than I've been saying it had; I can't tell if part of my prayer was silenced due to a technical glitch or bad editing for privacy... will have to ask Randy; I suspect the former, as I think I recall while I was talking feeling like the mic cut out partway through) and didn't hate how my voice sounds (I'm used to feeling like my voice sounds all distorted-little-girl-y ... though it's weird hearing my voice and only recognizing it in snatches).
  
• People's comments on my [Elizabeth wonders what she's supposed to put down as "the industry that best describes your primary expertise" on LinkedIn given their drop-down list.] facebook status.
  
• Iron Man fanfic
  
• Joseph Arthur's "Honey and the Moon"
  
• Ross is starting up a summer Bible study (which I may or may not be able to attend).
  
• It's nice to know that my linkdumps are useful for people :)
  
• I get to go to bed early.
  

Things I did well today:

• I got up and ate breakfast at home and brushed my teeth and went to the [gym] 45min treadmill (2.5incline, 4.4mph)
  This treadmill setting is a challenge, but in recent days the walk home from Davis has felt easy, which is definitely something.
  
• I replied to some [nonwork] emails.
  
• I set up a LinkedIn profile.
  
• Lessee... I sent out a spreadsheet, I generated a QuickCode for a mailing, I relayed a phone message, I set up a conference call.
  
• I did laundry (and put it all away! ... I have to admit that recently this latter portion has often stretched out over days).
  
• Um, I went to the Hav, and I got there a few minutes before 7:00, but the door wouldn't open, and I wasn't going to ring the doorbell, so I walked home again.
  

Things I am looking forward to (doing [better]) tomorrow:
["anything that you're looking forward to, that means you're facing tomorrow with joy, not trepidation," as Ari says]

• Annual Conference
  
• And I don't have to get up until about 8am, which is something.
  
• I can do the reading for my World Religions class while on/waiting for the T.
