Done yesterday (20090728)

( raw notes )

It wasn't really much of a walk, just up to the top of the hill and around a couple of parking lots (plus a few minutes on the bottom branch of a tree), because I was on the phone with my sister-by-choice pocketnaomi and didn't want to risk losing the signal. It was remarkably calming.

I think a lot of my recent tension has been due to anxiety over work; now that I have a huge amount of my demo working 10 days before it's due, a lot of it went away; going to bed at 10:30 and snuggling helps, too. My neck is still a little sore, but it's just the feel of overworked muscles rather than the feeling of being stabbed by demons with tiny, needle-sharp pitchforks.

Itinerary: DC Area this weekend

The main reason for this trip is to visit my brother (and his kids, and our mother). Several people have expressed interest in seeing me; I'll know more about my schedule Saturday morning after I get there.
