  * up 6:35; W=197.2; drugs, nose, teeth; coffee
  @ http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1354314.html    Kneeling Before Beauty
  * sort some of the 2009 receipts
  & switched to travel wallet (found in dresser drawer).  Business cards and
    photos are a very tight fit.
  ! Wonders whether some of my avoidance is because I don't expect the way
    things actually turn out to be nearly as good as my anticipation, hopes,
    and/or fantasies about them.  This bears further investigation.
  * productive morning at work
  @ http://gizmodo.com/5397215/giz-explains-android-and-how-it-will-take-over-the-world
  * 1ish Walk.  Once around the pond.
    ! thoughts scattered as usual, but calmer than this morning
  & Call from Callie
  * Date night:  Estrellita's and a longish drive back home
    Mole poblano and sangria.  Yum.
  & helped YD make some purchases
  * found the slug to send to C.
  * signal boost post for pocketnaomi
  * 10:45 bath (in back: ought to clean out tub)
  * 11:30ish bed

I moved everything out of my old wallet and into a travel wallet with more slots for cards. A bit of a tight fit, though, and of course larger and heavier. So I may end up moving back. Or getting one with slightly wider slots.

It was a fairly productive day at work again. I'm not sure why I seem to have the most fun when I'm hacking on Makefiles, but there you have it. Perhaps it's because they automate so much of the repetitive, boring stuff. And also because debugging them can be... interesting.

Took a nice walk around the pond. Rather scattered thoughts, but I ended up pretty calm and somewhat refreshed.

Got a well-timed call from cflute, while we were on the way to our date-night dinner at Estrellita's, a Mexican place in Los Altos that's been there forever and has a wonderful mole poblano and excellent sangria. Also three different dipping salsas with their chips. We drove home the long way, of course.

Ended the evening making a signal boost post for pocketnaomi, and hunting down my old but still functional (and still unused) slug, since cflute's laptop doesn't want to recognize the USB hard drive I sent her. I'll send that and a check this morning.

Went to take a bath and ended up in the back tub, because I still haven't finished taking the drinks out of the front tub after our party last weekend. Oops.
