Home safely. My nephew sounds like he has been fairly sick since i left. I may have some allergies that surpass my antihistamines, but basically i'm doing well. I think some of the unpleasant stomach experiences i had is from the course of proton pump inhibitors i'm taking.
I've made great progress on crocheting a sweater out of lace-weight yarn during this trip. Three movies (Tin Tin, twice) and the flight cross country got me well started. Last night, as we watched Inspector Lewis, i made more progress. As i've worked on it, i've reflected that a sweater i started some years ago would probably be a breeze now. I couldn't quite get the collar started right before, and now i think i can see the stitches and their interdependencies more clearly. I bet i could finish that chunky yarn sweater pretty quickly.
I spent hours yesterday morning going through email on my personal laptop and following up on some of the things i couldn't quite manage while i was away. I recognized a year ago that i was no longer using my public name blog: i think Evernote has changed my blogging patterns. With this trip i realize it is changing my daily journal patterns too. I've decided as part of my birth year resolution that i'm keeping walk logs in evernote. Using the notebook page i'm able to collect snippits and links and notes in a non-linear fashion through time, in a way that committing a journal entry less easily supports.
So, since journaling about Glacier Ridge and asserting that i'm giving up on the two mustard family flowers, i've since found a better ID resource and succeeded in identifying the two plants. An image of a plant that i really wouldn't want to share on flickr can sit in the Evernote account easily as a blurry hint to what plants i saw that day.
I'm slowly starting pages for the NC walks i took, tracking down a tree identification and beginning to sort out the photos of the butterflies and birds.
Meanwhile, going into the quarterly intensity of release planning at work. Email from New Director got under my skin. (Me, for the past three months: You are going to allocate my staff to projects just like they have been allocated the past year, right? Him, for the past three months: yes. Him, today: can you send me the allocation of your staff first thing when you get in? Me, thinking, lovely, you're the one with access to the documentation about this, you are the one i had to bug incessantly nine months ago to get the numbers, and i've been asking about this for months. And now you want it immediately from me???)
Anyhow, i hope you all are well. I'm not catching up from travel online as well as i often do.
