( raw notes )

Mixed day? I was basically lazy around the house all morning and much of the afternoon, after getting up around 9am. I went in to work, made sure that the demo worked, and packed it up. Win. Happy and relieved -- that's a problem I won't be having in the future. Made dinner (corned beef and cabbage -- not very difficult).

screaming_angel came over in mid-afternoon to upgrade the YD's computers; he put together a reasonably powerful Ubuntu box with lots of space for a Windows partition if I can find an install disk at work, and upgraded the RAM in her laptop. Which he then took home so he could upgrade the disk (with the one he's freeing up when he upgrades the disk in his laptop).

On the other hand, I'm having more trouble with email: now Emacs gives me a "max buffer size exceeded" when I try to read it. Some experimentation indicates that this is probably due to a mailbox full of spam.

And on the gripping hand, I seem to have somehow torn a muscle in my upper right arm near the shoulder. OWWW! As it turns out, because I'm left handed, that is my gripping hand: I tend to pick up and carry things with my right hand, which leaves my left hand free for things like keys and doorknobs. Not happening. Also, lifting that arm up, or especially trying to reach behind me with it, are excruciating. No T-shirts for a while.

I got to sleep with the help of cyclobenzaprine, and somehow managed not to re-injure the shoulder in the process. Fortunately I tend to sleep on my left side.

So... mixed.
