To the tune of "My favorite things"
Upgraded wordpress blogs second and third,
massage with spa touches on moment spur,
new citrix r'placement does not crash,
these are a few of the good things today.
Err, maybe i should stop.
Still, a warble is a good thing. The day did not look promising when i noticed during the 6 am meeting that the interface for remote access to Microsoft Stuff i'd tested (and found lacking) was going to be the only interface by early August. I ended up spending time troubleshooting a networking problem with a network administrator (i was then guinea pig, he was the observer and analyst), then i spent much of the rest of my day thinking "Oh No, Outlook 2007! Why did you do that?" However, i was able to get the native client to work, so Outlook 2007 "just runs" on the laptop and hasn't shut down yet.
Also, Mister E, the Edward cat, did not come sauntering in for breakfast but stayed gone. This added a certain pall of anxiety to the day. nothing heavy, but it was in the back of mind for both Christine and i.
I wore down during the day. I don't think i'm sick: i do think this is simply an asthma flare, constricting my chest, and causing occasional coughing spasms. This leads to weariness, and by the end of my EDT day, despite a brief catnap, i was tired. I piddled for a while, and then decided i would see if Watercourse Way had a opening. They did! So off to a massage i went.
And it was good, despite my dirty feet.
I almost lost the benefit of the massage trying to make a left across Alma at 5:45 pm, and then was stuck on Alma for multiple light cycles -- some caltrain & traffic light confusion? But waiting, i found Peter Gabriel's _Passion_ CD in the stash, and it was perfect to carry me forward. I realized i wanted a soft cheese, and realized just in time i could stop at The Milk Pail and get some sensual summer fruit and good cheese and French bread. I found bags of peaches at 69 cents each (stunning) and was standing in front of the bargain cheese rack picking up dollar French camemberts and considering a cheese ball for Christine, when i recognized @inforama. We had a nice chat, and i basked in the small town moment.
Home, with two luscious plums, to find Edward had come home, and Christine had dinner ready. We ate, watched MI-5 (a special middle of the week treat), and the day is almost done.
During the massage i remembered the importance of deep belly breathing, of doing yoga, of going biking. My body: i do care for it, i should treat it with some respect.
Anyhow, early day, so off to bed.
