0829 Mo
  * up 5:50; W=198.2; drugs, nose, teeth, snuggle, laundry, exercise, trash
    ! grumpy:  YD didn't take out the trash last night
  * update dhcpd.conf from gw -- /users/starport/Config/etc is out of date
  * order humira  ready 08/30/11 12:00 PM
  * 9am Dr. Rogers -> further appointments as needed
    -> there's a difference between "can't make myself do it" and "don't seek
       it out but am OK if it drops in my lap".
    -> being uncomfortable in new situations is more a personality thing
  * Finished the last of my JIRA tasks at work
    Got most of my office packed, too, several days early.
  : won a custom icon from meeks!
    Now I have to decide what I want.  Bear?  River?  Probably River.
  * 9:15p picked up the YD at DeVry

  * replied to meeks - The River, of course
  @ FIGMO's Follies - Paul Metz: 12/21/1961-8/27/2011

A pretty good day. I finished the last of my assigned JIRA (issue tracker) tasks at work, and got most of my office packed -- 9 boxes worth. Of course, several of those were never actually unpacked from the last move.

And I won a custom icon from meeks in her weekly drawing! How cool is that?

I had a comparatively brief session with (therapist) Dr. Rogers in the morning, where I realized that I don't seem to have any concerns that need therapy right now. I do need people to talk with who can help me explore myself (the mind of a Middle-Sized Bear is a strange and often confusing place) and how I interact with other people (rather clumsily), but that's what friends and Friends Lists are for. Expect more River posts again.

The links for the day are why pseudonymity matters (which links to the My Name Is Me project), and a wonderful obituary for Paul Metz.

I didn't think anything of it when you mentioned your friend and then decided for reasons unknown to follow your link to Figmo's post. The name didn't ring any bells but as I got toward the end of her post I realized that I did know Paul, somewhat. I met his wife when we were both 18 and working for Great America and reconnected a few times at BayCon, etc. Makes me sad that I never got the chance to actually get to know him.

Thanks. Yeah; I never got to know him all that well, but he was often at our parties.

Thank you for letting me know (about Paul dieing). I am very sad now.
