I am sorrowed to find judywatt has passed away. I had stopped reading her journal years ago, and i find i cannot remember why. ( Digging out the history of a general cleaning up of my friends list in 2008. )

That seems so odd in these quiet journal days, as all the energy seems to have moved off to facebook and Google+, but i think i was stretching more than i could give to others and i wanted to focus.

judywatt's creativity inspired me, and i still have an aspiration to keep a collage calendar journal inspired by her calendar pages.

I am thankfull for the time i had a window into her life, and i thank you all for the windows you offer me into yours.

Hello procrastination. Hello waking up rather early. Hello Greycie Loo wanting attention.

Hello Friends.

I had the most decadent salad last night. Romaine, red seedless grapes, an avocado, some tiny cubes of mozzarella cheese, the half of the onion rings that didn't get eaten between the Jack and the Box at the grocery and home (chopped up), and a dash of ginger vinaigrette.

I think that's actually a nutritional win, given that we went to the grocery store before eating dinner.

I did exercise last night, spinning on the bike on the trainer for twenty minutes. I probably should read something about "the right way" to do cardio and fitness on a stationary bike, since i'll be at it for the next four months. I miss riding it out under the stars, but once the weather became the least bit damp i couldn't motivate myself to go out.

I'm trying to be balanced in my care of my self, not demanding too much personally, acknowledging that professionally much is demanded. Yesterday's workday was the biweekly intensity of sprint kickoff, where i was multitasking like mad to address the problems that we are behind in addressing. I felt good at the end of the day, despite the challenges. It was a good work day. I probably have more of those than i acknowledge.

During this i also wrote two very delinquent missives that i've been feeling guilty about not attending to more promptly. Yay, that should make way for an effective working evening.
