Done Since 2025-01-19

I think it's been a fairly productive week for me -- I've gotten quite a lot: music, excavating the shipped boxes (details in the notes, but I've found a lot of what I've been missing), business and immigration, a hotel reservation for DFDF, and a phone call asking for status of our health insurance paperwork. I made the hotel reservation by email, because phone calls are next to impossible for me. But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...

About what's gone on in my former homeland, the US, probably the less said the better at this point. I may try to tackle that later, possibly after I've saved up enough vitriol. You'll find some (hopefully) helpful links in the notes.

I still have one more phone call I need to make, which I'm dreading, and a few (much less dreadful but still) difficult emails to write.

I spent a fair amount of time practicing on guitar (including working on a couple of difficult chords and chord progressions, and recovering a few nearly forgotten picking patterns), and sang four songs in the Eurofilk zoom circle on Thursday. Need to work up to more in a session, but I'm making progress.

The night before last (see Saturday's notes) I had an extremely vivid dream; which I can still recall scenes from today. This doesn't usually happen; I am not an experienced dreamer. It's possible that my good memory of it has a lot to do with having been awakened by Bronx. He's obnoxious, but such a nice bnoxious.
