Last night, i managed to take on the laundry and a walk, but did not manage to do any prep for tonight's library committee meeting -- but i just wrapped that up.

I've written my sister and a colleague who has experimented with LinkedIn with me. If someone drops you on LinkedIn, it's apparen't "invisible" to you except your count goes down. So now i can accept invitations from coworkers with the comfort that if i really start fiddling with the LinkedIn profile, i could drop them before i do.

Christine is having an adventure. Apparently a check she sent in payment for the mandolin never reached the seller. She realizes the mysteriously high PG&E charge was the day after she sent the check and has figured out the check was intercepted and applied to some account at PG&E. Apparently PG&E and our bank are being very agreeable in straightening this out. It's still going to run up expenses: so far there's the $29 stop check fee and there will be the notary's fee. And of course, the time. The new mailboxes in the complex look like they'd be secure, but i suspect people can fish things out.

Notes about 1.Self: Health is doing basically OK. ( But i have complaints )

Having semi-evidence that walking might be part of what's keeping depression at bay, i'm motivated to keep walking. So we had a long walk at Shoreline park (new and unfamiliar paths!) while i was on vacation, and a walk last night. It's not quite a discipline yet, and i'm clear it's a practice that is linked up with coming home from work and being with Christine. I worry about keeping up with walking while i'm in Dublin next week.

I worry about being in Dublin next week.

I just looked at a division of "self" areas i made some time back: physical health, internal health (mental,emotional, spiritual), environmental health (my stuff, the environment i keep myself in), joy, and reservoir of strength.

Which reminds me to order some notebooks from Levenger. I need to improve my note taking at work. I had quit keeping a "lab notebook" because of my failure to circulate notes taken longhand and how the notes fell into disorder. I can't type fast enough in digital systems to really keep up, and if i'm engaged in the meeting, it's worse. SO i've been scrawling on postits and hoping i might keep up.

I realized though that unlike five or more years ago, there is now a greater ease with which i could take a photo with my phone and then distribute that image of the page as the notes from a meeting. I might even invest in Evernote, which indexes handwriting in images.

Must dash.
