  ! Weird mood.  Happy.  Felt weird.
  ~ didn't post Wishful today.  Probably every other week is OK.
  & Colleen's meds appear to be working!

I guess it was a good day. I worked from home in the morning so I could take Colleen in to Kaiser for a PT appointment, followed by training in subcutaneously injecting one of her new meds. Easy, compared to the things I was doing around the TPN, except for having to stick a needle into somebody I love. The new drugs appear to be working, though -- her colon appears to be absorbing water again, after half a year of diarrhea. Yay!!!

I got some exercise in lieu of a walk by going up and down stairs at Kaiser. Tiring, but not a lot of fun. I also got in 15 minutes of meditation while waiting for Colleen to come out of PT. It's a good way to fill wait time, I've found.

At work, I got my my demo back in shape for Friday. Since I won't be there, I gave my coworker MG the information he needed to ork it if it breaks, though it probably won't.

Two items from my Wishlist got done: screaming_angel installed Eeebuntu on Colleen's EeePC netbook (which is now named Eeyore), and Rick Moen got a good, solid start on weeding the front yard. YAY!!

A good practice session in the living room; I should probably do it every week, since it will give me practice handling distractions. Did I mention that bears are easily distracted?

The session left me in a very weird mood which I eventually (tentatively) identified as some form of happy. I was talking with Colleen in the bedroom when I realized that I was smiling and burbling. It still felt weird. N suggested afterwards that I bask in it, and try to remember what it felt like for times when I'm not happy. I found both of these to be very unfamiliar concepts. I need more practice, obviously; I'll have to keep that in mind for when the next opportunity comes up.
