Done yesterday (20091130 Mo)
1130 Mo * up 7:10; W=199.4; drugs, flonase; coffee went up to wake YD, who was also oversleeping ! surprised and pleased at no weight gain * YD's bus pass (in wallet) | tired and slightly headachy, slightly brain-fried -should- it would be better if I took a walk ! And what's with this business of avoiding things I know will make me feel better? Is it because I know how much other important crap still needs to be done? Partly, anyway. * Walk. Koi, once around pond. very slow, lots of stops; dozing off watching the koi. combination of sleep-dep, post-con let-down, out-of-shapeness, ... not to mention probably some caffeine withdrawal. Hawk near CRC -- beautiful and huge. Redtail, probably. | 2:10 r. hand very painful, mostly at the base-of-finger joints or bursas Bursitis on the ring-finger, I think. @ Retirement of Ubuntu's lpia architecture [LWN.net] @ BLDGBLOG: The City and its Flooded Double (from gizmodo) * Zander's CD arrived * Colleen can use the front bathroom (back toilet newly re-sealed) | the painful swellings on my elbows were almost certainly bursitis. * transfer some money for Colleen * BILLS for this week * bed ~10:30; snuggle
Something of a down day; I don't think I was at all recovered from a long weekend of sleep-dep and driving. Plus the inevitable post-con let-down, and maybe a little caffeine withdrawal.
Even a walk, which I practically had to force myself to take, didn't help a whole lot -- I kept nodding off while watching the koi. The hawk I saw on the way back helped more. Beautiful.
And what's with this business of avoiding things I can be pretty sure will make me feel better? Is it just the fact that it makes me feel guilty because I'm avoiding all the less pleasant stuff? Or something else?
Some pain in my right hand -- mostly a lump at the base of my ring-finger. Well, at least the associated research positively identified the painful, fluid-filled swellings I had on my elbows a couple of months ago as bursitis.
The back toilet was leaking; Colleen called a plumber to have it fixed, and discovered that she is capable of using the front bathroom now. The seat's lower, but there are plenty of things to grab onto.
The best link of the day is The City and its Flooded Double (from gizmodo) -- beautiful renderings of scenes from New York and Tokyo flooded to a depth of four stories.
Also, Ubuntu has announced the upcoming retirement of the lpia architecture, which is what Dell is using for their netbooks. So maybe there will be an upgrade path for me after all.
