Unproductive Day
Often after jin shin I'm useless, but today I was useless even before I got there
Went to bed at midnight (early for me but the night before I had just tossed all night), got up at 10 (after a lot of weird dreams), drank some coffee, played Glitch for an hour and a bit, had a shower and got dressed, gassed up my car (traffic was insane), went to my 2:30pm Frank appointment (we laughed and laughed and he gave me some organic parsnips/beets/trail mix), dropped my Netflix envelope in the post, threw away my garbage, got home at 4:30 and cooked stir-fried vegetables with a ton of hot peppers and soy sauce, had to lie down for an hour or so, then played Glitch and goofed around on the net for about and hour and a half, then had to go and lie down at about 9:45 and just got up again at 11.
Sigh.

Car: maybe tomorrow afternoon, and $1000+ bill.
This isn't shaping up as the best day ever. I'd made a pot of bean soup and it has all gone on the floor/inside refrigerator as the thing it was in - as most of my containers, and 99% of everything in the universe - doesn't work if you have one hand. I've cleaned up most of the floor but haven't tackled the fridge yet. It will just have to wait.

*shifts uneasily* Uh... @sl why did you screw up the WindLight settings?So much is broken - why deliberately break something that worked? Yes, day cycles didn't work, but creating and using presets worked. And I used that every day.

This is the type of thing that makes me feel uncomfortably like SL is not really a virtual world but is instead some strange long-term sociology study.

An Ex Brain
It's a colossal drag, but my brain doesn't work any more. It hasn't worked for a couple of years, I think. I'm not sure how long because my brain doesn't work any more, of course. I keep thinking (that word again!) that it's a strange, temporary glitch and it will be back to normal in a minute or two, but it's slowly dawning on me that it is broken and won't be restored ever. That's horrifying as it used to work perfectly well, but I suppose not totally unexpected in someone with m.s.
I'm not sure what to do now - keep battling through the static of disconnected and truncated near-thoughts, give up and resign myself to life post-brain, or leap off the balcony like Tosca after she discovered that the perfidy of Scarpia had resulted in the death of her brain... uh, Cavaradossi, I mean. *ponders*

It's misty and cool and there's rain likely for the next five days, so coating the deck doesn't seem possible as it requires dryness. I seem to've fallen into a kind of purgatory wherein four men spend 13 hours a day a few feet away from me, my computer has been broken forever, and the weather yo-yos from 105° to 52°. Did I miss something? Did I die and go into a modern version of Hell? Which circle do neverending computer problems fit into?
At least I have the approriate labels for this post.

I need to stop posting pictures from Flickr - it's only going to be a vail of tears in the long run.
Update: changed, and I will smack myself every time I get the yen to do it again.

Last Night in Taber
No less than most people, I can be thrown for a loop when something that's always been there suddenly disappears. After learning last night at a SLPRS meeting that the greater portion of Taber had been sold, I went over to see. I went back this morning and ran into Khamon, who owns land in Taber. As far as the SLPRS, one thing I can see it excelling at is creating a framework whereby people with small greenspaces can gather around a core area, thus creating a large green space that doesn't rely for its existence upon one person. It's far too much for one person to bear. I'd love to see that happen in Taber, which appears to be mostly held at the moment by Avi Arrow.
