New Director had rounded up folks last week to plan to have lunch out on Monday. At 11:30 yesterday he pulled me out of the meeting to share that the VP had just scheduled a meeting and he couldn't possibly follow through and would i apologize to the team for him? And i said, here, you tell them yourselves. I'm pretty sure everyone on my team has a clear read of the guy and that no one was particularly disappointed, but i don't want to get in the role of relaying his sloppy news.

I took caffeine before coming home last night. Christine spent the evening on her economics homework/test. I had hoped to understand just what was on my to-do list that i have been neglecting, but i simply did some reading online done to where i felt i could check in this morning and read the usual amount. I finished adding metadata to the first 18 photos from Saturday and posted that stack of photos to Flickr: by 10 pm there seemed to be bandwidth available on the free wifi.

The network is not working, particularly, right now. (Thus no image from Flickr's html generator, but here's a link to the photos from Bodega Bay in the morning.)

I am continuing with my struggle to be compassionate with myself and balance "needing rest" with "things need doing." I spent last week as a lump after the day long meetings. Last night i was a lump, too, but i also did one of Christine's chores for her and did a 30 minute yoga exercise before bed, finally figuring out a good way to adapt around one particular pose that exhausts me (despite this being a beginner routine).

Discerning lack of motivation due to pre-depression mental habituation from "being tired" from procrastination is hard from "doing things in their own time" is a challenge. I'm not sure the mental habituation and the procrastination are truly separate: a sense of awareness differentiates my experience.

The network problems we have at home are going to drive me batty, shortly, i can tell. I am 75% sure i recall sending email out on the city wifi late last week, but i'm now getting "The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server secure.emailsrvr.com timed out." Should i tray again? Try again? Try again? Meanwhile, connecting to my provider's webmail -- which i never use -- takes forever.
