I am looking forward to the time of year when it's good for iced tea. Can you tell I'm sleepy? It's been a rough week for mental health ( Read more... )

I have moved to Fremont, Seattle. The last part of moving was full of separation anxiety and stuff and I'll miss everyone lots. I had a send-off in Harmonium which was touching and excellent, and got to say many goodbyes.

Work continues with a project that never ends.  Too much data to classify.  I keep thinking I'm in the home stretch and then discovering more.  Whoops.  Well, I'm learning a lot about how to manage people- I have two student workers now and keeping all their stuff straight and documenting their past, current, and upcoming work is a new thing I've ( Read more... )
