Last night, i managed to take on the laundry and a walk, but did not manage to do any prep for tonight's library committee meeting -- but i just wrapped that up.
I've written my sister and a colleague who has experimented with LinkedIn with me. If someone drops you on LinkedIn, it's apparen't "invisible" to you except your count goes down. So now i can accept invitations from coworkers with the comfort that if i really start fiddling with the LinkedIn profile, i could drop them before i do.
Christine is having an adventure. Apparently a check she sent in payment for the mandolin never reached the seller. She realizes the mysteriously high PG&E charge was the day after she sent the check and has figured out the check was intercepted and applied to some account at PG&E. Apparently PG&E and our bank are being very agreeable in straightening this out. It's still going to run up expenses: so far there's the $29 stop check fee and there will be the notary's fee. And of course, the time. The new mailboxes in the complex look like they'd be secure, but i suspect people can fish things out.

Notes about 1.Self: Health is doing basically OK. The long stretch of canker sores continue. There seems to be one near the tip of my tongue almost constantly now, small ones on the insides of my lips. At the very moment there are no big ulcers, and during these past weeks (going back to near the beginning of July) the ulcers have not had that concomitant sense of greater inflammation in malaise. Yay! But the discomfort has been pretty continuous.
I've just taken the eighth Omeprazole, with no significant sense of difference. Since i don't notice the reflux (except for the Incidents that lead me to bring this up), it's hard to know whether no difference is meaningful.
Skin issues continue at site A, around the edge of scalp and temples, ring finger, top of left ankle. Other little patches come and go: fading on the inside of my right elbow, rough spot on left outer thigh. I think the couple of patches on the top of my back have cleared (to be replaced with where Mr M decided to use claws to clamber up on my shoulder -- silly parrot cat).
Having semi-evidence that walking might be part of what's keeping depression at bay, i'm motivated to keep walking. So we had a long walk at Shoreline park (new and unfamiliar paths!) while i was on vacation, and a walk last night. It's not quite a discipline yet, and i'm clear it's a practice that is linked up with coming home from work and being with Christine. I worry about keeping up with walking while i'm in Dublin next week.
I worry about being in Dublin next week.
I just looked at a division of "self" areas i made some time back: physical health, internal health (mental,emotional, spiritual), environmental health (my stuff, the environment i keep myself in), joy, and reservoir of strength.
Which reminds me to order some notebooks from Levenger. I need to improve my note taking at work. I had quit keeping a "lab notebook" because of my failure to circulate notes taken longhand and how the notes fell into disorder. I can't type fast enough in digital systems to really keep up, and if i'm engaged in the meeting, it's worse. SO i've been scrawling on postits and hoping i might keep up.
I realized though that unlike five or more years ago, there is now a greater ease with which i could take a photo with my phone and then distribute that image of the page as the notes from a meeting. I might even invest in Evernote, which indexes handwriting in images.
Must dash.
