  * up 6:44; W=195.4; drugs, nose, teeth, laundry, coffee, dishes, light
  * 15min: added flax oil to the drug shelf
  : the drug shelf has gotten way too long; needs major reorg
  % our social life has narrowed a lot -- don't know what to do about it
  * walk:  3mi by the airport.  Felt good. 
    Minnie is warm, but comfortable.  Switched shoulders.
  ' so Chami is butch or maybe ace, and Minnie is bi.  Cool!
    {Stop worrying about it, Bear.  They like each other, they like you, and
     they'll get it all sorted out in their own sweet time.}
  ! slightly down?  FCS date pushed out to end of September at earliest.
  : rolled-up hat fits nicely in one of Minnie's side pockets.

    more like translucent, but still cool.
  " me: But I am not _your_ toy.  You never know what might happen if you push
    buttons on a toy that isn't yours.
  * tasty dinner of fajitas (leftovers) and broccoli.  YD being uncooperative
    but did a few things.
  ! feeling somewhat dazed and drained.  Meep.  Loved and a little contented,
    though, and a little accomplished from work.  Don't know whether it's just
    overload or the reduced SSRI starting to hit.  10 days...  about right.
  % mouse shoulder.  Pretty definitely.  The fact that it's a trackball is
    irrelevant -- it's the button-pushing, this time.  Ugh.  Ouch.
  ! it would be really nice if the YD would cook on Father's Day, but I'm not
    expecting it to happen.
  * 15min:  looked in the "small bags" box.  Some maybes.
  * measure Chami's inside dimensions
    18" high.  14"wx6"d at base; 12"wx5"d below rounded top
    med bag fits at the bottom, and the electronics bag at the top.  Probably
    room for a packing cube in between.  Marginal as only luggage; probably
    ok with the Travelpro

    just go read.

  * singing for N and Colleen.  About an hour's worth!  Go me, then!

Mixed. A good, solid, three-mile walk by the Guadalupe River, which felt good. Minnie was warm, but perfectly comfortable. I switched her to my right shoulder. After the walk I determined that a rolled-up hat fits nicely in one of her bottle pockets. So that's good, too.

I made some measurements on Chami; I think she's a little small for a weekend trip. The reason Rolly and a small duffel worked was that Rolly is (too) wide, and they stacked. Can't get away with that with Chami unless I leave Plink at home. Maybe if I piggyback some stuff on Plink.

I have a feeling that Minnie and Chami may have things to tell me about relationships, later on. {Let them sort their own out first, silly Bear!}

Meanwhile, though, we got the word that our ship date has been pushed back. Now, that's a very good thing, because the software clearly isn't going to be ready by the end of July. On the other hand, it raises the question of how much longer I'm going to be away from research. I think Tuesday I'll go up to the lab in Menlo Park and talk to some people.

The something between that and my experimental 30% tapering-down of my mood-altering drug has left me a little down. You can see it in the string of "okay"s, down from "good", in my mood strings over the last week or two. I think it's a major accomplishment that I'm actually able to notice, though.

I sang for Colleen and Naomi for almost an hour. That was good. And I slept well. So I'm going to call it a mostly-good day. A couple of links up there in the notes.

The music was wonderful, Steve, and I couldn't hear a major glitch on anything except when your throat started to go out on you in the middle of Daddy's World, and that was after a hell of a lot of work. Very nice performance, and much appreciated. *hugs*

You're most welcome. I think my performances have improved a lot over the last couple of years; I'm glad you think so too.
