Goals Check-In: Week 4 of 8† (Winter)

[OS X/Mac gibberish follows] So, i applied Security Update 2010-001 to my Leopard laptop and things seemed fine but were later wonky‡. So i rebooted and things seemed fine but were later wonky. So i rebooted again and found a discussion about the security update. There were a few complaints that sounded like my brand of wonky, and someone snapped that, hadn't we wonky-problem people remembered to go run Disk Repair and Repair Permissions. So i did, and for once repair permissions seems to have resolved my problem. I put my laptop to sleep and things seem to be working fine this morning. [end OS X/Mac gibberish]

This is good, because the sinus infection seems more problematic today, and i don't have the energy to resolve personal tech problems. Just complaining about it has taken a great deal of time.

So, i went through the goals check in and did some quick research, but still felt like death warmed over. So, i'm staying home, doing the team meeting by webex,

That done, i'm off to the doctor.


‡ "Wonky" describes a situation where, after waking from sleep, applications wouldn't open and internet retrievals seemed impossibly slow.

0. Time

* Have made music plans (thanks to a free ticket from a friend) and coffee with friends plans

* Oversight (which we may change to "Pastoral Care"), Library committees, "Warm Winter Nights" -- Friday nights at the meetinghouse to craft or play or do light work, and the women's reading group

Thus ends my bandwidth for January. I may drop the women's reading group, too.



* Friends' LGBTQC concerns retreat. Letter unwritten -- invited those others from my meeting not going to meet and write with me, but have not followed through. CV has made a gathering on the 6th happen. Yay.

† Because i have such a mental confusion with counting time units, these are labeled referring to the completed time period†† (retrospective) not the approaching time period (prospective).

†† I've two periods that are a quarter of a year long each: May 1-ish to August 1-ish; August 1-ish to November 1-ish. Then there's the holidays: November and Dec, winter: Jan and Feb, and spring: March and April.
