Done yesterday (20090925)
0925 Fr * up 6:40; coffee; drugs, nose, teeth | 8:25 cold and wondering why I haven't had my coffee | shoulder hurting a little, but much less than Thursday @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_sensitive_person (?) This is a specific trait with key consequences that in the past has often been confused with innate shyness, inhibitedness, innate fearfulness, introversion, and so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance (don't think I have it) <- I've often told myself I don't _care_ what other people think of me, but I also vaguely remember training myself to believe that. Somewhere in elementary school, I think, and/or summer camp. <- I also remember training myself out of several bad habits: thumb-sucking (I was three or four), computer games, nail-picking. Others are more resistant, though. I have also developed several desirable habits. * e-paid some bills & unmount /mirror and remove root's crontab on nova & call from AT&T web marketing. $170/month for 60 clicks/month via top 200 keywords on site. No, I'm not going there. He said he was going to my site, though, and looking up "filk". Could work if I had a really high conversion rate. I don't. ! curious, then amused. @ http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/get_your_hack_on power any 5v device from USB * walk; around pond, ~10m meditation ! not much anxiety this time ! avoidance/anxiety around setting up an appointment with Dr. Awsare. ?"don't want to know" -> ?fortune-telling, denial . set up email for *@thestarport.org at DH * http://wiki.dreamhost.com/NDN_Certificate -> /usr/share/ca-certificates * try to configure fetchmail for steve@savitzky.net -> -ERR Temporary problem, please try again later Same response via telnet to port 110, so probably at DH's end. & Colleen made coq au vin in a crockpot for dinner. Yum! I made the cauliflower and pasta. & some noodling in response to Colleen's request for music * 9pm-9:35 work on office found Aetna statements and Kaiser receipts to R. of monitor. stacked other things needing attention from that area put CD drawer back in rolling cabinet ~ move dns for thestarport.org to DH can't do this because DH's mail is unreliable/unusable * Bed 10:30; awakened for Snuggle 1am & 2:15 bath; 2:45 bed | no shoulder pain -- yay!
My sore right shoulder was much improved; there was no noticable pain by evening. Or even at 2am when I took a bath, unable to get back to sleep after being awakened by a Snuggly Colleen. (It was sore this morning; I suspect due to spending some of the night sleeping on my right side.)
A nice walk, with very little anxiety this time. I spent too much of the afternoon trying to get mail configured on my web hosting provider's system; massive fail. It's probably back to plan B on that one: a DirectAdmin account at my old ISP, rahul.net. Or see what I can do with Google.
About half an hour of working on the piles of papers in the office, and a little noodling in response to Colleen's request for music.
I got an amusing call from AT&T's web marketing; they'll advertise me on Google and Yahoo and guarantee 60 click-through's/month for only $170. That might work if my conversion rate was high enough, but I don't think it would be.
Some interesting link-chasing in Wikipedia, but that will warrant its own post on the River later. I've already alluded to it yesterday, so it'll keep.
On the whole a pretty good day, though not terribly productive.
