Done day before yesterday (20091214 Mo)

( raw notes )

On the whole an "ok" day -- my mood stayed mostly positive. And I did something that I've been avoiding for maybe six months, and called Alhambra to ask for a refund of some of the $1500 payment I sent to them instead of to Amex (the two lines are, of course, adjacent on my bank's payment page). The rep was very pleasant; I have no idea why I'd been avoiding it, except that it was something I'd never done before. Did I mention that I'm not very adventurous?

I also pointed RDNA.ORG's nameservers at Yahoo so that the person who has a wonderful Reformed Druid site on Geocities can move it to a more appropriate location. That was another thing I'd been putting off a little too long.

I have yet to think of a good way of rewarding myself for doing the hard things on my to.do list, aside from patting myself on the back here in LJ.

I started reading The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron. It's been something of a revelation. A year or so ago I wouldn't even have thought of classifying myself as "sensitive". But I scored 20 on the self test, where 12 is the threshold. Some of the questions were iffy, but a 33% margin doesn't leave much room for doubt.

And thanks to cflute's data-mining skills, I have a new pair of Keen brooklyn mid boots on order.

So, yeah; a pretty good day, now that I think about it.

Done yesterday (20091215 Tu)

( raw notes )

I think I may have to congratulate myself a little on this one: I spent basically the entire day interacting with people, both one-on-one and in groups, and got through it without any immediate problems. I was wiped out by evening, but how much of that was being peopled out and how much was the stronger than usual reaction to the flu shots is not clear. Both appear to build up gradually.

The big news from my doctor's appointment is that the moles on my back that Colleen's been worried about for several months are just moles, and not a cause for concern. I also had my left knee x-rayed; there's a possibility that there's a bone spur there. I am, in other words, pretty healthy for an old fat guy.

On the whole a pretty good day.

The hot links are a good page on Well, what IS wrong with ebooks? (from this post), and a lovely little video from shadowe_wraithe.
