In the "getting things done" over the weekend column, some outstanding little tasks -- all short in duration but of that nagging nature that makes them "weigh" more than they really are -- were done. I am 99% unpacked and put-up from travel (two small clothes bags need to be put up). While i didn't get to the laundry, it's sorted (i hope to do some tonight). The bed is now up on the big ol' "Height Adjustable Bed Risers, White, Set of 6", the best thing i could find that would support the bed on a *slope* with the two legs supporting the center of the bed on a graded slope, too. I should have documented what settings i used, but my guess seemed to work out.

I did not dye things, i did not write a plan for the quarter, i did not wrap up the loose ends from work on Friday. But i've done everything else on my list and went beyond that for other nagging things. And, i rested and relaxed. And also had two small social occasions, coffee Sunday morning and a friend dropping by for a chat last night.

I also did get in two of Christine's thirty minute activity walks that involve crossing the pedestrian bridge near our house, twice. She's gone and sought out the nearest hill, and found just how far to walk beyond it so that she's up the stairs at home after thirty minutes. I think my lack of exercise shows in how tired i am afterwards.

How shall i frame today, which is in my mind as a terror, starting at seven with long meetings all day? I don't know. Just thinking about today tires me. And i'm doing it to myself. Reframe! Reframe! Err, the long meetings aren't things i need to plan for and thus i can stay at lower energy levels? The lunch is provided (but i'll bring my rice and beans). Ummm... There's no reason to be there late, so i can return home and have a full light-filled evening to do laundry, get in a walk, and have pleasant time with Christine? On the newly reorganized deck?

ETA: Oh hurrah, the 7 am meeting is cancelled! And you know, i can have lunch at my desk today and get a little more time to myself.

Also: Sheesh, the most recent Mac update does something to Mail. My existing messages need to be "upgraded," the dialogue box says. Running a backup before embarking on that process. Also, the message *format* is what's being "upgraded," although i suspect it is "being made less compatible with mail format standards" is what's really happening. OTOH, i also suspect the format will be more scalable.
