Give thanks, share beauty, note joy:
Oh, bother! There was something i was deeply grateful for yesterday, that i wanted to record, and i can't remember it. Was it some sort of big sweeping class of privilege and fortune? No! Ah, yes, I am very very thankful that my health has been so good for the past four or five months. In December and January i was having the "neuralgia" flares, really horrible canker sore complexes, and general misery. They've not been present since then. I suppose it's possible to blame the stress of ProDuct Man on those because That Project pretty much died in January, and i have similarly been thankful not to deal with his issues. I note to colleagues when i complain or worry about Crazy Project Management that it's Much Better. I am pleased and thankful for my current work.
Noteworthy events (dining out, errands, correspondence):
Dinner last night at the Left bank was divine. The seafood appetizer platter shared around the table meant just a taste of the mussel salad, an oyster, a bit of the tuna avocado tartar, calamari -- but i like lots of little tastes. And then i had the aged Basque cheese with cherries and pecans while everyone else had soups and salads, and then the "Classic Alsacian thin crust savory tart" with "arugula, pecans, pear and blue cheese" while everyone else had hunks'o'meat. I had a quarter of that left over to bring home to Christine.
Colleagues were all delightful. I discovered my new product guy is only about four years younger than i, but exudes a sort of "new car smell" in person as well as what picked up on the phone. Some of it is deference, an alien concept to me,
Yams: too busy
Yays: posted annual reviews
Metricsskip
"Not Care Less" and paralysis hacks: too busy
Health: a cut/canker on my upper lip, a rare bit of reflux this morning (rich dinner?), chest still tight but trying to be liberal with 2xD flovent and prophylactic inhaler
Pondering: -
Worries: balance, rest
Regrets: a little perplexed about some of my story telling at dinner, wishing i related to my programmer in the meeting with a touch more grace (but experience has taught me he needs blunt to understand)
