mdlbearIt was a week. On the plus side, a little walking and quite a lot of bug fixing in flktran. An s4s post last Sunday (but none yesterday). On the minus side, I took Colleen to the ER Thursday night after she'd been throwing up all day (but she didn't need to stay overnight -- she appeared to be doing pretty well yesterday -- and her PT is definitely making her stronger). Mo singing. On the out side, the US's ongoing political disaster, which will make me throw up if I think about it. So... a week.
I went out walking three times last week. Since that's the same number of walks as the entire preceeding month (and two of those were last week), I'm not going to complain even though the total distance was less than what I would do in a single lunch hour back in San Jose. (I'm also walking more slowly -- about 2.5mph, down from at least 3.)
I did a lot of fixing in MakeStuff, so hopefully it now correctly processes the file format I documented last week. And at long last went through all of the translated HTML with HTML Tidy to make sure the results were, if perhaps not always correct, at least not broken. (The program is almost 20 years old, and the format dates back to 1987, so "at long last" may be something of an understatement.)
Meanwhile, Trump admits he's blocking postal cash to stop mail-in votes, and Public Transit Cuts Felt Deepest in Low-Income Areas. Here at the North End we lost access to Paratransit last month, when Island Transit cut the bus route that serves the Goss Lake area. So... yeah. A week.
0809Su * Up 4am; W=193, S=5:19; shower ~ posted Songs for (Sunday): Cranes Over Hiroshima a day late and not what I'd originally planned, but it will do. * Walk: to Skybird and back. Should have worn a hat -- it was bright. ~ surprisingly little done today. Maybe it's just that I'm coming down after a week full of distressing links.
