Spent a little time this morning playing spam cop against a Pennsylvania Republican house representative who, it turns out, not only spammed "me" (an address i used when i lived in Philly; this guy is Pittsburg based; the name associated with the email is not mine, though) but spoofed the internet service provider they were using in 2008 (when i last got a message from them).
I used to be VERY aggressive about spam, but now i mainly go after spam from actors who i think should know better. A US Representative falls in that class, as do apparently reputable companies that don't honor their unsubscribe commitments.

I think everything in my mind that's meaningful this morning is more or less Christine related, and, while i share a great deal, this is mostly just for us or hers. The biggest thing that's more mine is adjusting my mental plans for the coming months to reflect the needs around sharing the car, scheduling appointments, and recognizing the draining effect of these preliminary months to the surgery. She's got a heavy load of Other Things that she'd planned so that the six week recovery time would be available to her: I need to support her efforts. She's been so supportive of me, making sure i had personal time to balance the work time, i tried not to take it for granted, but i've certainly grown to expect it. I'm not in the practice of thinking through how my schedule impacts hers (she's flexed with mine).
I'm staring at a cat mess on the floor that points to a health concern -- and i realize that the significance of supporting Christine is that instead of my usual expectation that she can squeeze in the vet trip when i'm not using the car, i may need to take care of it (assuming we're at a vet trip level).

Meanwhile, work is like juggling greased pigs and angry cats.
