I have, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, kept up my daily posting schedule. Some of the posts have been random babbling, of course. You'll find the stats at the end of the notes.
Wednesday L noticed that the fluid-filled cyst on Desti's shoulder had ( Read more... )

Today I am grateful for

• My family, the whole crazy lot of us,
• A chance to sing with N and m -- adding m to the group makes a huge difference.
• New (for us) songs to work on -- "Ripple" and "Mother I Climbed".
• Taking back the House -- not enough, but a start.
• Scheduled interviews (for jobs I seriously doubt whether I can do, ( Read more... )

I actually got a few things done. Mostly research, but related to possible money-makers -- Alexa skills (which only make money if you tie them to something you can charge for); Jekyll, Hakyll, and other static site generators; frameworks for building cross-platform apps in Javascript and HTML5; Ethereum (there's a ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how I managed it, but I seem to have coped with this week noticably better than the week before. Whatever it is, I'd like some more, please.

It's been a busy week here at Rainbow's End -- last weekend was g's Bat Mitzava and the associated parties; this weekend my Mom is visiting, and we had a few of the local cousins visiting yesterday. In preparation for last week's parties, we had the Great Room almost completely cleared out.
That, of course, made things interesting ( Read more... )

I was on vacation this last week. Which means that it was extremely busy, but in a different way from work. That's not a bad thing. There were two major events, so we'll take them chronologically.
Monday Naomi and I went out looking at houses with (realtor) Chris. There ( Read more... )

So. Trumped.
I suppose I'll get through the next four years somehow. But the possibilities range from disagreeable to agonizing to desperate. N tells me I'm stronger than I think. I hope she's right.
What the hell can I say? The Joy of Tech comic... National curl up in a Ball Day kind of says most of ( Read more... )

Kind of a rough week. My main accomplishments, such as they were, were a ( Read more... )

The week started with my 69th birthday, continued on through Pi Day and Colleen's birthday, and ended with dinner in Port Townsend celebrating Emmy's birthday a week early (to keep from being out of town for caucus day).

It was also a busy and productive week at work. Finally. Winding up in a ( Read more... )
