  % reading through the handout on recognizing emotions from Dr. Rogers, it
    looks as though a lot of what I've been experiencing has been _shame_.
    That was quite unexpected.

  ! overwhelmed by the pile-ups in the office and my to.do file.
  * call N. for a concert if it's ok with Colleen  -- she was busy, so sang to
    Colleen.  Then N called back, and sang some more.
  * Colleen: humira
  * bed 11:30ish

A pretty good day -- busy, somewhat productive at work (mostly getting a new coworker set up with hardware and a development environment, and sorting through my list of tasks to find the ones that aren't actually my problem). Though the huge pile of tasks still left at work, and the massive pile of boxes and envelopes in the office at home, were (and still are) pretty overwhelming.

Naomi had asked me to call after dinner and sing to her, but when I finally did call she was busy, so I sang to Colleen instead. Naomi joined us just as I (thought I) was finishing up, so the concert continued. I probably did more singing last night than I did all weekend at Consonance. That's OK; I didn't go to Consonance to sing, but to talk to people. (I didn't do enough of that, either, but I didn't expect to.)

The most interesting thing was going through the handouts on recognizing emotions that I got from Dr. Rogers in the morning and discovering that many of my most common symptoms match up with shame. That was a huge surprise, though it may have something to do with my self-image. What there is of it.
