  * reception/show-and-tell at work for $visitors
  & a lot of miscommunication about my work schedule.  Ugh.
  & went into overload trying to get to bed
    ! pain, frustration, discouragement ?fear, ???  Snuggle worked on it, so...
    Possible that the main trigger was Colleen's upsetness over lack of
    attention from me after I got home, plus the scheduling mixup.  Maybe some
    residual from Tuesdays faux pas.
  * bed ~midnight, snuggle; S=9979

A lunchtime shopping expedition got me a good walk. And there was a tasty reception at work for some visiting honchos from other parts of the company (combined with demos and talking about our stuff, of course). And lots and lots of tasty hot links up there above the cut.

On the other hand, Colleen was justifably angry at me for not telling her sooner about a couple of work-related schedule changes, and after she told me to go to bed around 11pm I discovered that there was still a lot to do, and had myself a bit of a meltdown. Again, who knows what? Back pain, frustration, discouragement, resentment, guilt, fear maybe. Not fun. Snuggle worked, and I was able to calm down pretty quickly and tell her so.

Good on the whole, I think, but just barely.

Have to work on my communication skills.

Brains are interesting creatures, aren't they?

Thank you for sharing these process posts... Helps me figure out how I deal (or not) with my own brain-fun.

Indeed. Mine has been particularly interesting over the last two or three years -- see posts tagged river.

And welcome! I'm hoping to post a re-introduction of sorts tomorrow, since it's the 1-year anniversary of the "Done Yesterday" series.

Hurrah!
