Done yesterday (20090804)

( raw notes )

Yesterday was a very good day for Colleen; she had a PT appointment where she stood for 5 minutes twiddling her thumbs (i.e., without holding on to anything), and walked 100' with the walker. The therapist said she's doing well, and that the incontinence will eventually go away as well. Basically she's relearning things she learned as a toddler, and is now well into the holding-on-to-furniture stage.

It was good for me, too -- I had a two-hour debugging session with M, a demo of the fully-working system to $grandboss, and a teleconference to Japan that turned up a couple more problems but probably nothing really major. It's harder when you can't actually touch the machines on the other end.

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the part of the Younger Daughter, who wants her BF to move in with us. We told her "no way until you're out of high school". I expect the next few months to be pretty bad.

About the only thing I didn't manage to do was my traditional August 4th post about Amethyst Rose; I'll probably do that today or tomorrow. I was thinking about her, though.
