Done yesterday (20111228 We)

It's fairly easy to be productive when there's only one other person at work; they left at noon. I left around 4:30 because Lenscrafters had called to say my new glasses were in.

The only person who noticed was Chaos, and I might have said something that gave her a hint.

The new computer glasses are a major win, but different enough to be somewhat disorienting. I got used to the bifocals fairly quickly, though the reading spots are stronger, which makes for more of a discontinuity across the line. Now I have to remember to take them to and from work.

I just realized that the computer glasses are perfect for singing; the lyrics are at about the same distance as the screen. {duh!}

Meanwhile, guaifenesin actually seems to be helping with my chronic congestion, and reduces the "lump in the throat" mucus effect. So that's a big win.

A couple of good links in the notes on marriage equality, and one on free speech and Firefly, down at the bottom.

Thankful Thursday

So, on schedule for once, I'm thankful for...

• My family, both of blood and of choice. I lucked out.
• My friends. Yes, there's plenty of overlap.
• Cygnus (my netbook). I love her dearly, especially her keyboard.
• Good Drugs (better living through chemistry).
• The pjsua command-line SIP client.
• Ginger.

Party Saturday at Grand Central Starport

Second notice: there's a party this Saturday at Grand Central Starport (maps and contact info at the link).

The usual potluck winter thingie. The household contains one person with a gluten sensitivity, three allergic to blueberries, and one allergic to mushrooms. Bring something you like to eat; we'll have chili and ham on the stove.

There will probably be filk singing. And folk singing. See you Saturday?
