Little arghs

Had a bad day today. I set out hoping for a major reduction in stress levels, only to have enough things go wrong that they ended up being raised precipitiously.

In the end I found I was still so tense I couldn't sleep, so I've watched mindnumbing TV for the last 3 hours to calm myself down.

I would give more details, but I don't want to work myself up again.

Now, I'll try to sleep.

Awake again.

Am now awake, if still mucho sleepy, and in a somewhat improved mood from yesterday. Now lets see how long this lasts.

I should be doing some work on my latest project, but its now starting to get stifling in my office during the day. I may have to start working at night.

Accomploids.

So far today I've:

1. Woken up
2. Phoned the bank and got them to sell some shares that their internet banking system wouldn't let me sell.
   
3. Went shopping for groceries with taxlady.
4. FINALLY managed to finish downloading about 700 Cartoon Voice clips that I foolishly enqueued in WinMX about 2 years ago...
5. Eaten chicken.

So, I'm feeling somewhat accomplished. #2 makes me feel good since it involved phoning someone I don't know (a real phobia of mine) and #4, because it will have the largest impact on my quality of living. Trust me on that one :-)

... and another thing.

I just wanted to mention that while I was shopping today I noticed that a local cheese shop is selling something labelled as "Cornish Yarg".

I wonder if its like the Australian Yeargh that my friend _sps_ invented. That is a 50/50 mixture of marmite and crushed wake-up pills and, IIRC, is supposed to be used as a coffee whitener.

Anyway, at over $40 a kilo, I wasn't about to do a taste comparison.
