Updated list and wiki today. Only one project moved on. Lots of F1 movement, apparently, but not on MY list. ha!
Life continues stressful. Work is continuing difficult. I am noting down my difficult interactions, per some suggestions from friends and co-workers. It helps me keep it in perspective. I can feel like I've had a conversation with the man six times, but when I check it was "only" two. I think because I tend to rehearse what I am going to say and then stew over what I did say that it feels like more. Still, a grown man should be able to do better. Conversely two separate people have suggested medical problems, which his age would support. Sigh.
The weather has been leather coat-ish with just one day of "why didn't I wear my heavy coat in the morning" followed by "oh, this is perfect for the afternoon". The last two weekends have been gorgeous. Sunny and warm but still October cool and the leaves turning. And then the work week is grey and drizzly. Perfect! : ha! :

Oopsy. So I updated the list on l3 Oct 08, but forgot to finish off the wiki. So, I updated list and wiki today. A fair amount of movement but not posted projects, alas.
Lots of RL stuff going on but it's late and I'm tired. Weather: cool, rainy most days with the two weekends actually being clear and sunny by mid-day to afternoon. I have had the heat on since 05 Oct 08 but it only really kicks on around 3am. We did have four days in a row where it was below 40 at night, which was way early for us. I've decided on the heating guys and just need to figure out the payment thing (I knew I forgot to look for something today). Face healing nicely. Had to go looking for help to deal with need to take iron supplements again. Apparently I'll have less damaging constipation if I take on empty stomach (who knew?) so I've switched the calcium and iron as the calcium is best with/right after meal. We'll see if that helps. The "ack" is for how quickly october has come upon me.
ACK!!!

Oy vey, so I updated the list on 28 Sep 08, but nothing else. I did the wiki today and will do the list also. There were six posted projects - huzzah.
I have some mentoring, content provision, and maybe some PM'ing to do. I feel mostly caught up but still not 100% back to normal. Both at work and home and DP. The vacation helped. I was off the week of the 22nd, but basically from 20 Sep to 28 Sep. It was lovely. I really did just rest and relax and read and lots of needlework. I am about 80% through. I did one major thing in the house - I finally took the mirror down. Yay! John brought me shelving he'd made but didn't like and put it up in my garage - so that was a yay! Then I fiddled with paint I had, adding basic pigments and made what I think I want for my main color in my bedroom. I'm going to dump some of it in a bottle and go get the color formula. I've had a pretty big swath of it up in my room. It may be a little too pale, so I'm going to add just a bit more black but no more blue and see how that goes. If it does, then I'll bottle that too. If not, I'll still have the original I'm 90% happy with. Come to think of it, I should do a big poster board of both colors and tape it to the wall in the bathroom also as I'm going to be one of those people who have the bathroom and the bedroom the same color. I still have to find my main "focus" i.e. bed wall dark blue color I want. That I think I can do as one can of regular pre-mixed paint from the store. I may also do the closet. I may not. Hee. If the walls are light enough, I should do the ceiling in the same color. If it is too dark, I can take a can, mix with white and boom.
Lessee, I got my insurance to cover the rest of the transmission cost. Huzzah. That pays for the derm work I just had done. I have been really, really, really watching my finances this year and I cut them down by 20% I am so freaking proud of myself. I do find, like my friend John, that I am semi-splurgy mood right now, but I'm trying to keep it "in my wallet". Hee. Okay, I'm hungry. Dinner! (fish, rice, veggies)
And now back to Index to 2008
