  % there are times when not having a functional nose is a *good* thing
  * took suitcase down from attic.  [ bug-sprayed ]
    Yes, Callie's music stand fits (after further disassembly)
  * Op-Ed Columnist - The Rage Is Not About Health Care - NYTimes.com
    (from admnaismith)  bottom line: it's racism.
  * walk by Los Gatos Creek.  Turned back before the Bascom Ave. bridge
    because my left ankle was hurting.  :(
  * buy: Melita #2 filters, superglue, pantsu
  ~ looked for alaska picks; no success.  GS suggested Gryphon
    (got to GS, GC, and Starving.  GS has remodeled; acoustic all of upstairs)  
  $ bought AT headset mic at Guitar Center - $10 off because demo unit.
  % Colleen upset about not being able to go to flower show;  trying not to
    take it personally.  Suggested she warn me when she's just venting.
  ~ vacuum back bathroom -> delegate to Ash
  * verified that the new netbook charger works
  % a bit of a talk with Colleen about stress, sickness, etc.
  * fill out census form!
  * practice: Lock-keeper, Landscapes, La Colombe, Wheelin, Lancelot
    breakthrough on Em9 and F7b9 - *low* E string
  & experimented with sitar pick.  Works.  Add to Plink's side-bag.
    If no alaska picks, I'm still good.
  * dry/sterilize socks and underwear for trip
  & Ran my phone through the washer.  Clever bear.
    easy to find -- it was buzzing furiously.  And most of my contacts are in
    the phone, not the SIM.  Grumble.  Remind me not to get a smartphone.
  * bath; bed ~11:45 (?)

I had to cut my walk short because my left ankle was giving me trouble. And I dropped my phone into the laundry hamper and washed it. And my main shopping goal, Alaska picks, eluded me. So not all that good a day.

But it was pretty relaxing, and I scored a decent headset mic for $60 at Guitar Center -- $10 off because the one in the display case was the very last wired headset they had. And got in some practicing, including figuring out better fingerings for Em9 and F7b9 (moving the 9th to the low E string).

A whole lot less stress than Saturday, so I'll take it.

bummer about the phone. But maybe you'll like the new one better.

For a while, anyway. It's purple, which is so perfect for Colleen that I originally planned on giving it to her. But she doesn't like the keyboard, so I may end up keeping it after all. Or giving it to Emmy.
