Done yesterday

( to.done 20090311 )

Didn't seem like a very productive day, on the whole, but on my evening visit to Colleen we just held one another an nuzzled for ten minutes or so. That was nice. I think I actually noticed feeling loved, loving, and optimistic.

Later in the evening I attempted to make some online purchases for the Y.D. (including getting her signed up for the SAT), transfer some files, and be sociable both in person and on IM. It didn't work very well; I was snappish and stressed. If something needs doing I need to crawl into the office and do it rather than trying to divide my attention. Better to be unsociable than unpleasant.

A couple of bill payments got procrastinated from yesterday, and paid just minutes before the 11pm deadline for transfers. I think that much the same thing is at work here as with phone calls: paying bills or working on taxes forces me to think about my finances, which are dire and depressing.

I either did something very bad to my right hand, or... something. It hurts when I press on the palm at the base of the fingers. Hot water seems to help, as do naproxin and asprin, but it's worrisome.

Hippo, birdie, two ewes...

... to the lovely and talented little_cinnamon!!!! Hope it's a fantastic one!!

Colleen: moved

As of about half an hour ago, Colleen is now located at White Blossom Care Center, 1990 Fruitdale, San Jose, room 204A. She and her doctors are pretty optimistic that a couple of weeks of intensive physical therapy will get her body back in operation.

I am trying hard to remain optimistic, but not succeeding very well at the moment.
