Catching up on December, slowly, trying to decide what personal correspondence still stands as needing a response and what doesn't.

I continue to learn about Lightroom 3, as well. I wanted to pop the photos i took with my phone while walking yesterday online to share. It's all changed! And now i'm out of time to present these in an engaging way.

Ah well: here are some winter shadows and light for you!

And then my mutterings about yesterday. I made it through yesterday's work day. I wasn't terribly effective but i poked at some of my goals for this week and tried to be gentle with myself. I walked downtown to pick up my glasses. "Out of shape," my calves whine. I'm not sure how i will motivate myself to exercise today. It will be on the stationary bike: i'll read. And maybe i can get myself to do it midday, as a break from the sense of failure all the emails from during my absence generate. (I thought that was straight be for i left, i thought i had requested that, i thought....)

I also need to find a responsible framing for all those thoughts. It's not failure.

Christine had an 8 pm doctors appointment last night. She's on antibiotics now and hopefully that will help her as much as it helped me. We also picked up a small humidifier. I wonder how effective it really is or if the effect requires being right next to the device. This morning i don't see the visible mist leaving the nozzle.

The otc cold med i picked up for Christine had a bright orange globe on it so i thought it was the "daytime" version that had the bright orange globe on it. Unfortunately, it's not, and will cause "marked drowsiness." I suppose she will sleep through today, too, anyhow.

Watching her be sick helps me recognize just how miserable i was last week.
