Thanks for the good thoughts, folks.

I gave up on the day and came home, after telling my boss I felt "crappy". Which is entirely true.

And then I slept for an hour and now I'm still cranky but the new Where the Hell is Matt video made me cry and cheered me up a bit, so that's something.

I suspect I'm going to bail on climbing tonight: I'm not fit for human company, and it will be my last solitary evening until Monday.

Consuela, if I could send you a Dark and Stormy popsicle, I would. But I'm not sure they're fully frozen yet, so I haven't even tried one.

My mom brought me birthday apricots from her tree and I got about ten of them home. So delicious. But I am not going to do anything with them besides nom. Birthday apricots are the best. Mmmmm, apricots.

But seriously people, I can't do the impossible

I got one of those things asked in a family tech support situation.

My uncle wants something for his computer which I swear I told him that the hardware would NOT support last month. He's going to keep asking, I know it. And he can't explain what he wants so it ends up with a computer sitting in front of me and not being able to be a magician. Which tends to be not awesome. Oh well.

Google seems to be down. The fuck? Anyone else?

Works for me.

Very good news about ita's mom!

Any ideas for what to do with maybe half a pound of cherries that really aren't sweet enough yet? I don't want to waste them, but I usually just ... eat them.

I used to get a ...what was it? Pink zin? Any sore of sweetish rosé, dump it and cherries in a pot, low slow boil, add sugar as needed. It made a really lovely sauce and I didn't let the cherries get too mushy.

Had to drive out to Towson to swim tonight. But not before I hit my Y and then the Parkville one. Uhg. And then had to circle swim with the slowest and most clueless pair for a third of my swim. But I still got my swim in, so there is that.

I did have weird gmail issues today, and couldn't connect to google maps.

I could do that!

I can't get Gmail, Google Docs, or even a Google search to work. Which would not be a big deal except I am planning to give a job talk tomorrow using Google Docs slides, and I haven't made them yet.

Good lord, what a day. Car wouldn't start in the morning. Fortunately, husband and I go to the same place so we could just take his car.

At lunch, he tells me that they had a meeting, and in a week and a half, one person of his four-person team is getting laid off. So now we get to wait for that.

Came home, and the car started, so at least we got it to the mechanic without having to spend 50 bucks to have it towed.

Now I think I have a migraine.
