Dear "wellness" company with whom my employer has contracted:

Somehow your email titled "Job Stress Reminder" with the message to, "Log into your portal account, and update your Job Stress," doesn't quite work.

Cheerio,

me

I think i'm drinking tea flavored water this morning. I had a black tea flower and a fancy schmancy sachet of golden yunnan, but i don't think that was enough for the pot. It seems my tea order was probably delivered yesterday, so i could have had tea had i gone to the mailbox when i got home after 10 pm.

I don't think i'll think about that much. I'll consign it to the same "Will just make me grumpy" trash bin this morning's 6 am meeting had gone to. (I needed the call in number, but the organizer saw it in her meeting event notice so she didn't re send it to me. Once on, the folks managing the call put the callers on mute -- it took me a while to find out i could turn the mute off myself.)

Instead, there are robins outside. I heard the high twittering of cedar waxwings earlier. Whoops, thinking about the absent tree and how warm the apartment got yesterday is another thought for the grumpy bin! I'm reclining in bed, and Greycie Loo is seated on my chest and forearms, leaving my hands free to type. Mr M and Edward snooze close to Christine who is waking up, now with a cup of not quite tea in her hands.

Our deck garden is lush and beginning to bloom. It's odd to me that the scented geraniums have taken so long to bud. The other geraniums and the rose will be blooming by Sunday. I've a purple verbena trained up a stake, and it's cascading with blossoms. A shrub with a daisy-like blossoms is also blooming. I fertilized the Meyer Lemon last fall, i think, and -- wow -- blossoms and set fruit! The runner beans i bought some weekends ago are holding fast to the stakes.

I might plan to spend some working time out there, today. Huzzah for wireless.

I am currently pretty darn scatterbrained, with the attention span of a....

Anyhow, finally was able to register my used livescribe pen. They sent me a year's pro account

[meanwhile, i wonder off, look at evernote trunk, sign up for Hojoku, have to wait, and realize, oh yeah, i was going to brag that]

to evernote. So, that's $45 i would have spent in October, renewing the account. So the pen is down to a $58-45 = $13 indulgence (and then i went and bought a whole bunch of ink for it with my enthusiasm).

Yesterday i realized the pen is an easy way to commit a crime in California as this is a two party consent state: "A first offense of eavesdropping is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and imprisonment for no more than one year." I'm going to have to have a chat with the cats.

Now that i have it, i wonder how useful it will be, anyhow. Most meetings i'm in, i'm wearing headphones. On the other hand, it means i'm only recording me, which shouldn't count as eavesdropping, right?

[Watched an episode of MASH with Christine, had ice cream -- it's warm & i miss our tree!!! -- and now an Angry Orchards Hard Cider.]
