Done yesterday (20111102 We)

A pretty good day -- worked on music in the morning, for the second day in a row. Mostly chord practice, again. It felt good, so I'm going to try to keep doing it. Also had the head of the bed up for the second time in a row (and again this morning); that also seems to be a win.

I've made my decision on the netbook -- I'm going for the dual-core version. The going price online appears to be $440; locally it's more like $500 plus tax. It may be worthwhile looking while I'm in Portland for Orycon.

I set up an online account at my credit union, finally. But I had trouble trying to set up a transfer; it'll probably take another phone call.

Some social time in the living room, and a little singing. I don't have a gig at Orycon, but probably ought to practice some of my own songs anyway.

Made an entry in my private journal, which I haven't been doing much on a regular basis -- maybe once every month or two -- but should. Spent the late evening after that in what felt like a very weird combination of feelings, mostly on the depressed side, which I made no attempt to sort out. Do I get credit for noticing that I have feelings?

Some links in the notes. Check out Zander Nyrond's song: Occupy the Earth. And Jawbone's wristband thingie looks interesting.

Thankful Thursday

Thursday already! The week has flown by. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, here goes. I'm thankful for:

• Feeling better, both physically and mentally. (I'd feel better still about the latter if I knew why.)
• Hospital beds at home. (Elevating the head probably accounts for the "physically" above.)
• Eventually figuring things out. Especially when it's laryngopharyngeal reflux.
• As runnerwolf said, forward momentum.
• runnerwolf for mentioning forward momentum and reminding me that it's Thursday.
• A multifunction machine that's perfectly happy to answer unsolicited calls from telemarketers and make rude noises at them.
