Done day before yesterday (20090903)

( raw notes )

A good day, reasonably productive on a personal level. (Work time was mostly taken up by a pair of meetings and a little coding, but also recovering from Wednesday's successful demo.)

A good, calming walk by the pond.

We had dinner at Chevy's with the YD because her school was having a fundraiser there; the food was salty and the chile verde seemed to consist of dry pork with a little green sauce poured over it. Bletch.

After Colleen and I got back from a lovely drive, I sang for her and Naomi (via speakerphone). We agreed that we need to do that more often.

I slept badly, but got in a couple of hours of lazy, comfortable snuggle. On the whole I'm not complaining.

Done yesterday (20090904)

( raw notes )

Mostly a good day; well, a good evening, anyway. I spent much of the afternoon feeling oddly down and discouraged, for no detectable reason.

The evening, though, was great: we arrived at Seanan McGuire's book signing early enough to get dinner at a tasty little Mexican hole-in-the-wall called Cactus, and still had time to hang out, buy copies, and get them signed. Lots of people we usually only get to see at cons, and it gave Colleen a chance to show her face in public. Yay! We win!

Sang for Colleen. I probably need to get streaming audio set up, don't I?

River: Quote of the (yester)day

(15:11:26) ***mandelbear sighs. Relationships are hard. _People_ are hard. There are times when I miss not trying to understand them.

 

Believing that I wasn't "good with" people, and shouldn't bother trying to understand them because I couldn't, was a rather dysfunctional coping mechanism in a lot of ways. But I was coping, sort of. I'm doing better in many ways now, but sometimes it's more discouraging to know that I'm just not getting it.
