    And they've all of them been missed / They've all of them been missed
    -- context = grocery list, of course.
  " 
  ~ go in with YD this morning.  Come with data on extra credit card charge
  ~ query JRP about $2400 charge in Feb.  Kimi (?)
    what can she do to get back in contact with the Santa Rosa agency
  : YD seems to have given up on JRP -- not getting anything more out of it.

  * st/roll around Rose Garden with Colleen.

  & added dorsai's UPS back onto nova's list.  
    Installed multimon.cgi on stargate for easy remote access.
  @ International Mother Earth Day - forget where this link came from.
  * started disassembling bed trestle; need to recharge drill battery
  * copied 2009 tax files from silverlode; committed snapshot
  % too much of my attention is being sucked up by Filk Radio in the LR
  * bed ~11; snuggle
  * slept rather badly.  dreams: a motel, a shopping mall, going between them
    on a scooter, driving a powered wheelchair on the freeway (to a tricky
    left exit); ended with Callie meeting me at the mall and suggesting we go
    out for a walk.  I was sorry to wake up; I would have liked that.

A good day, though less productive than I wanted it to have been thanks to catching up on sleep. Sleep is for wimps. Healthy, well-rested wimps, but...

Highlights were a st/roll around the Rose Garden with Colleen, and making yummy (if I may say so) guacamole and fajitas for dinner. A small amount of minor system administration.

There are minor advantages to sleeping badly -- I remember fragments of dreams. Mostly images: a motel, a shopping mall, several parking lots, driving (or watching someone drive) a powered wheelchair through a tricky left exit on a freeway, Callie meeting me at the mall and suggesting we go out for a walk. The disadvantage, of course, is waking up and missing a nice conversation. Or does that make sense, given that if I'd dreamed through it I wouldn't remember it anyway?

A few good links under the cut. I'm starting to wonder whether I should keep them separately -- a "weblog" in the original meaning of the term. Not twitter or some other external service, though I might want to cross-post there. I want something with room for a complete link and short description. Thoughts?

Rose Garden

[hvideo.livejournal.com]

How does the Rose Garden look right now? Our own rose bushes have been blooming one after another this past week. A week ago there was just one in bloom, now it's more than half. I was thinking that a trip to the Rose Garden might be worthwhile by now....

Pretty good, but it'll be a lot better in a week or two. Many of the bushes are still budding.
