Hmm. The day had its ups and downs, I guess. I feel particularly good
about my st/roll with Colleen around the Rose Garden, and I got some
practicing in, and major bug-fixing done the new makefile for recording
directories. And quite a lot of decluttering, and a verse and chorus of a
parody (still in progress).
On the other hand, I got very stressed in the early afternoon -- not sure
whether it was sensory overload, family friction, or what -- the walk
helped a lot.
On the gripping hand, I actually noticed at the time that mailing my filk
to Naomi and getting thwapped for it made me happy. I may be getting
better at that.
On the fourth hand, I wound up feeling very discouraged, especially when
Colleen pointed out that I hadn't gotten any of my usual oddball stocking
stuffers. She sent me out into the cold; Fry's was closed, but CVS was
open and had gift cards and some suitable small tools.
So the day ended pretty well, at least.
No links. Must have been busy.

* up 6:45; W=194.6; drugs, nose, teeth, hair, dishes, exercise, light
* practice: one song before LJ.
& moved my to.do frame to mid-screen to put it closer to line-of-sight and
moved the keyboard a few inches to the right to make _it_ more centered.
| some strain in my right shoulder; hopefully this will help. Of course,
it puts the trackball further away on the right, so maybe not.
& installed gtick (metronome) for the one with the tricky rhythm. Hard to
follow the beat; need to work on that. Good for me.
* 15min: decluttering in office and LR.
* wrote verse and chorus of a new filk. Needs work. Mailed it to N, who
thwapped me for it.
! made me smile. Happy. ... and I _noticed_! Getting better at that.
* more work on SongInfo.pl and record.make. Some oddities remain.
* last-minute shopping for ale and dill
* fixed record.make. Turned out to be an extra comma in some ifeq's, so was
comparing against "," instead of "". :P
* nice st/roll with the Cat (Rose Garden)
! Felt very stressed-out (overload? family? stupidity?) when we started;
much better when we got home.
% (16:49:26) ***mdlbear has discovered that I sometimes have trouble
distinguishing an anxiety attack from hunger pangs. Come to think of it,
that may explain comfort eating.
x didn't do any Christmas shopping this year. Dumb bear.
& Colleen sent me out at about 10:45. CVS was open; they have gift cards
and stocking stuffers. Some things I know we bought have gone missing.
