I loved reading denise's post on technical debt this morning, and filed it in my work (ever)notebook. Meanwhile, i'm watching http://downrightnow.com/livejournal#refresh to see when LJ returns.

I am in a flare of discomfort, which ... i don't need right now. Stress triggered? Maybe. But more likely chemically triggered: i thought i could use a medication for one irritation which has now gone and stripped my skin off. Essentially a chemical burn. I think i've now got a protective and soothing cream to help. Last night i managed to stay in bed the whole night, even if the discomfort woke me. I'm going to tell myself that this will pass quickly, that it's not like the canker sores this summer, which were due to a deficiency. This is due to an environmental factor which i've stopped. Cause is gone: just need to heal.

Today Christine and i are both home. She's resting off the academic quarter, the work, the conference yesterday. Indeed, i think she's looking forward to her week clear of commitments.

I wonder if she's going to like hospital beds as much as hotel beds.

I have a meeting in ten minutes. Yipes.
