Not a bad day. A little odd in places. I'm still having muscle aches in my legs when I walk; I'm assuming this is mostly due to being out of shape.

Went to what was supposed to have been a meeting of some people from Kaiser's caregiver support group (on hold because the person running it retired last month). It's possible that I simply wasn't persistent enough about figuring out why nobody else was there. Plus I kept getting lost/making wrong turns on the way back to work. The whole experience was overlaid with a distinct feeling of being totally out of place. Somewhere out of my comfort zone, apparently.

On the plus side, I sent $5 to pocketnaomi for the next installment of the crowdfunded story she just started. Check it out -- it promises to be a lot of fun.

Some good links. Some weird trivia posted by dejla. The Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar 2009 (from wcg). MakeHuman, a GPL program similar to Poser; see the wikipedia article for links to some others.

Loneliness is Contagious/Causes Isolation (from haikujaguar) -- the general idea is that when you drive people away with your loneliness, they become that much more likely to become lonely themselves. No hint of what to do about it, of course.

I've already signal-boosted a couple of posts on grieving.

ETA: And I sold a CD on CDBaby!! Thanks, whoever it was!
