I scheduled an appointment for the 27th. I was supposed to see her tomorrow but now she wants to see me after I finish the antibiotics and so the 27th is the soonest.

After feeling decent all day I started to feel bad again and took medicine and now I'm feeling tired and loopy. I think i'll be missing knitting group again.

I told my therapist today that I often want to pick up [person], wrap him in a blanket, and feed him soup. She's fairly young and hip (not hipster, though). Is that a weird expression or something just we say? Because she looked at me sort of funny.

I don't think I've heard it elsewhere, but I think I would understand what someone was trying to convey even if I'd never heard it before.

I have made a list of all the addresses for postcards people e-mailed me. If you didn't get an e-mail response from me, you are not on the postcard list, so resend.

I'm playing with the shiny phone I ended up renting for the trip. I can tell I'm never going to want to give it back.

I'm trying to decide how I feel about Steve Jobs passing away. Mostly I'm trying to decide if I should talk about it here, in Press, or in Tech.

His death is big news here in the tech support department, geeks scurrying from cubicle to cubicle spreading the word. I appreciate that Jobs was a genius and very, very clever, but I guess I'm not nerdy enough to be that dismayed.

I was never an Apple fan, but Steve Jobs is one of the people who made the modern world, and the world is poorer for his dying so young.

Nicely put, Ginger.

Doug Henwood:

..He was the last remaining innovator in the U.S. economy. Now it's just charmless exploitation amidst long-term suckitude.

Bah. Migraine. Do not want.
