Quick admission.
The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?
Fine.
I've been without a Powerbook since November, 2005. I'm trying to avoid blaming problems in my life on this fact, and I'm adapting to life without it, but I miss iCal so much. And for that matter, without iCal, I seem to miss so much ( Read more... ) -
Resting.
Today's been quiet. David and prema left this morning for a trip to see folks in a couple of towns up on the coast(?), and I've had the day entirely to myself. I've naturally spent a good portion of that time pondering and fretting a bit, but it's been good to really just let go, meditate, relax, play a game or two, and do errands with my father.

Lifted from "Heroism", by Emerson.

Unfair.
My iPod has gone to sleep before me. "No battery power remains." Yeah? Some of us press on anyways, little shiny musicbox. -
Of caffeine, DDR, and dinner.
Trying to write, but there are few words left over during or after a day. I didn't get moved this past weekend. I hope to do it on my next trip to Green Bay, but my primary help has made plans and will be unavailble, so I will be trying to rent a truck and watch three kids and move by myself if I do it that weekend. I am undecided as to plans at ( Read more... )
