The Last Few Days.

[swestrup]

I haven't posted much substantial in the last few days. This has been due to a number of factors. First of all, I've been running a bunch of errands and so haven't actually been sitting in front of the ol' CRT very much lately. Secondly, _sps_ returned from his vacation, and he's come to visit for the weekend. Due to the fact that he doesn't work Fridays and he has stuff scheduled for Sunday, he decided to move the schedule up and start the visit Thursday evening, if it was alright with us. It was, so he did.

Its been great having him around again, but this did throw my schedule off somewhat (probably for the better though -- I had stuff I needed to do on Sunday, and I wasn't sure when I would get the chance. This way I have the whole day free.)  Anyway, as a result I've just been posting a few opinion pieces and pointers, and a memejoke, since I don't have to work at those nearly as much as writing posts like this.

[[Editorial comment. If you are wondering WHY that might be so, its simple. When I write about the world, or technology or even a joke, I'm just trying to be clear and to the point. When I write about my life, I'm always afraid I'll inadvertantly say something that will be taken the wrong way and offend a friend. I think hard about every sentence I write in a post like this and who might read it and how they might react. For example, I just spent most of the last sentence worried that someone on my friend's list may think that I think that they're too prone to take offense and that I am therefore worried about them in particular. Then during that last sentence I was worried that such a hypothetical 'someone' would assume that by 'someone' I meant a specific person (ie them) and take it as proof I thought they were barmy and not, as I meant it, a random nonspecific and likely nonexistant person. Okay, there I was just worried that I was unclear. To put things another way. This whole paragraph is about my hangups, and not about those of any of my friends.

This look at my neuroses has been brought to you by the letter AAAAAAHHHHHHH! and the number YEAAARRRRRGH!]]

Thursday, _sps_ arrived rather late, so we just chatted and had supper, and he then collapsed as he's still getting over the jetlag.

Today I inflicted omelets on everyone and then we went for a very long walk indeed (long from my POV. He's more used to it), and talked about everything under the sun. We returned and taxlady made supper, although I was supposed to, because my feet hurt too much to stand and cook. While my SO was cooking _sps_ was organizing his holiday pictures and putting them onto our server (so I hope to see them showing up in his journal soon), and I was wading through a backlog of email. (3300 emails reduced to 2800 -- although that mainly because I rewrote some filters...)

So, now we've eaten and had desert, and _sps_ has headed off to bed. I've handled all of my urgent email and it suddenly occured to me that I should post something to let folks know I'm still alive. For my next trick, I think I'll think about going to bed.

Gnight all!

Like one of our common friends ( won't mention who she is, people from Toronto tend to be chuchpichiouch at best :P ) told me last night:
You over analyze too much! Stop worrying and go with the flow.

And please don't tell me "easier said than done" that's what I told her!
