( raw notes )

A rather tense day at work, since our software had to be shipped to the factory by close of business, so they can start pre-loading it onto flash next week. Found one (stupid) bug, which luckily can be worked around by entering a command line directly instead of through the simplified wrapper script. I outsmarted myself, basically. It was (diagnostics lead) Bill who came up with the command line workaround.

At home, on the other hand, I out-stupided myself by misplacing a wedding invitation, after having neglected to copy the information into my to.do file. Fortunately I remembered the date and the venue, so I was able to call this morning and get the time. At least the paper stacks in the office and parts of the living room got a thorough going-over, so all's well that ends better, as the Gaffer used to say.

Knowing that I had the fallback of calling in the morning is probably what made it possible for me to get to sleep -- it took out a lot of the pressure and negative self-talk.

I seem to be particularly bad at keeping track of invitations, and certain other forms of paperwork. I'm really not sure why that is -- I seem to manage quite well with bills and tax forms, for example. Weird.

While I was out trying to buy butcher-block oil (which I finally found at OSH) I spotted a one-day sale on scallops at Whole Foods. Colleen bought them on her shopping trip, and I cooked them up with butter, olive oil, pepper, lime juice, and tequila. Yum! The YD tried one and didn't like it. More for us.

Only two links, to The Rotund, a blog around fat acceptance and related issues, and to a recipe for Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Spring Rolls. Cool!

A good day, on the whole, though it really didn't seem that way at the time.

... but why did I leave this sitting in my editor for two hours before posting it? I must have gotten distracted after thinking there was something else I wanted to say. *shrugs and posts*
