  | stronger than usual reaction to flu shot, probably the H1N1
  ! spent almost the entire day ihteracting with people, mostly in groups.  It
    was interesting, and useful, and not stressful at the time, but apparently
    stress builds up gradually.  I'm not tired, exactly...

  @ Shadowe Wraithe - Awesomeness, Enjoy this lovely little video...
  | very achy, slight fever, stuffy nose.
  * bed ~11:15; benedryl

I think I may have to congratulate myself a little on this one: I spent basically the entire day interacting with people, both one-on-one and in groups, and got through it without any immediate problems. I was wiped out by evening, but how much of that was being peopled out and how much was the stronger than usual reaction to the flu shots is not clear. Both appear to build up gradually.

The big news from my doctor's appointment is that the moles on my back that Colleen's been worried about for several months are just moles, and not a cause for concern. I also had my left knee x-rayed; there's a possibility that there's a bone spur there. I am, in other words, pretty healthy for an old fat guy.

On the whole a pretty good day.

The hot links are a good page on Well, what IS wrong with ebooks? (from this post), and a lovely little video from shadowe_wraithe.
