 | 02:34 pm - Why is life so tiring?
( Fitness update )
Then lunch with Elaine. We wanted to go to fishbones, (not the national chain, but a local fish monger and restaurant) but they were dead crowded and we couldn't get parking, so we went to Sakura and had tasty miso instead of tasty feesh.
I'm exhausted and want to sleep, but I'm trying to focus on work. Bleh.

No luck on the oil change front. Computers are done.
Tech came over and told me what was up and recommended coming back in an hour. I said, I can't, let me wait and see if it's something you can get fixed quickly. He came back 5 minutes later and said we can't fix it. They're sending a tech. They said you should come back in an hour. *I CAN'T*. What part of "I can't." was the slightest bit unclear?
I'm okay with the oil change delay, but the not listening to what I said sorta irritated me.
Anyway, I'll go tomorrow. At least while I was out, I was able to get cough drops, so there's that. Now I have to stay awake until noon. Then I might have to take a nap.
I'll work on my project planning spreadsheet. That should keep me busy and out of trouble.

 | 12:40 pm - Sunny days! Sweeping the clouds away
I started a new project last night. It's this one (You can only see if it's you're registered. (Registration is free, they will only spam you if you opt in...yadda yadda). It's a shawl. I'm using the pink Vanna's Yarn I got at JoAnn's on sale this weekend. It starts with a circle, which you half fill with double crochet and it builds from there. So far I'm into my third rep of the pattern and it's beautiful. It works up quickly too. (considering I've pretty much only worked on it last night).
My picture frames arrived from Woot. Wintrmute has always claimed one of them. I'll take the other to the office tomorrow and try it out. If I like it better than my 7" (and why wouldn't I?), I'll probably ask Liz if she wants my old 7".
Good workout this morning. I decided to go for the extra year, which is about half again the price of a year. I need to put together an outline for a book.
I'm feeling sorta excited and bubbly, and not sure why, but I'm determined to enjoy it. Honestly, I think it's in part this new craft project. It's so satisfying to work on something that goes quickly, and it's so soft and beautiful. Pink makes me so happy generally.
Tonight we bottle Hoppie's beer.

Slow down. Some of us can't keep up and I can't keep double and triple-booking my time!
On a totally unrelated note, my time machine has burnt out its motor. Anyone got a spare? I need it post-haste!

| 11:01 am - Grrrr
I have lost a livejournal blog. I've only told two people about it, and I'm sure they've long since forgotten it, but I want to start working on it again. I can't find the original sign-up request in gmail. Now what?
I might have to resort to posting text excerpts into google blog search and seeing if it can figure it out.
ETA: I found it. It took typing in 5 different key sentences to google's blog search before it turned up. Good grief, when I want to hide, I do know how to go about it. It was lucky that most of the posts for that blog were written on my Palm first so I could look them up, or I'd never have found it.

Bank of America has been running commercials for weeks (months?) promoting their ebates like service. I'm finally getting around to signing up. No idea if it's worthwhile yet, but on the other hand, it's probably better than a poke in the eye.

I'm not doing a good job remembering to cross-post between LJ and dreamwidth. It's a shame my client doesn't make "post to multiple journals" a default for specified journals.

Here's an interesting little trivia tidbit. When I post a short post containing only a literary reference, it's likely there's a really long unpleasant one coming shortly thereafter.

 | 09:52 am - Power Outage Casualty
Even though I turned off my Digltal Picture Frame for the power outage, it still took some sort of hit because now the images all have a red cast. I have no idea how to fix it, there's no support site for the frame, or any kind of setting I can find to reset colour masking, so I guess I'll need a new one.

 | 07:15 am - parable
And it chanced that a man was on a road to a foreign city. The road led through a dark forest. As he walked, he came across a man who was walking the same road. "And we are going along the same road," the first man said, "perhaps we may travel together and find safety together."
The second man replied, "I cannot travel with you, for though I do not fear the road, nor the forest, I am afraid to fall in with bad companions who will serve me ill or lead me astray. I do not recognize you and therefore I request that you remove yourself from me for I will not help you."
The first man walked away from the second, sore in his heart, for while the second man had not recognized him, he had recognized the man; a neighbor of his own town with whom he had shared many happy times. He continued along the road, each step pulling him further away from the other man and deeper into the forest. Ahead in the road he saw another man walking along the same path, but remembering the rebuke of the previous man, he was afraid to approach. The other man heard his footsteps and turned around called out to him, "Join me, friend, for it seems we walk the same path and perhaps, if we travel together, we may find safety together, for this road is long and has many dangers." And so the men walked together in safety through the forest and to the city.

Sometime between when I packed and when I refrigerated my lunch this morning, I seem to have lost the bulk of it. It probably fell out in the car and is baking itself even as we speak.
