bloody snot

Tuesday: Up around 8:30ish. Web. Shower. Having not received my rebate from the energy company, I called and asked if it was being processed. Turns out they never received the paperwork, although the plumber said she sent it. Left a couple of messages on the cell of the plumber. The first was a bit more hostile than it should have been. The second more conciliatory. Maybe I can get my wife in on this and play good-cop. Ordered pills for gus. Down basement, and brief morning practices. Laundry. I tried to get some glue off a t-shirt with paint thinner, but it didn't work, and it made the whole load of laundry smell of petrochemicals. Breakfast.

Gave myself permission to listen to the radio on my drive in to work. Feeling in a sour mood. I think its dangerous to engage the world in any way, before the morning sitting. Coffee and a muffin at T's, dropping off some GC Intro cards. Looked into a couple of small things. Made a new playground for my new pre-gen project. Design work. Became pretty irritated at Dnl because he insists on using a different bracing style than everyone else in the company. I suppose this is a stupid thing to get worked up over... but it just goes right up my nose. Talked to a salesperson at the Boston Phoenix. Couldn't decide about this weeks issue. Called Victor, who encouraged me. Called the salesperson back. Missed this week, but placed an ad for the three weeks leading up to the course. Took a walk out visited the bank. Left work at 6:30.

Over to KKC and yoga. First time in a while. Large class tonight (9 people). I think Wendy kept things a little on the gentle side, since there were a couple new folks. At one point, I found there was something like a bloody snot on the floor next to my mat. I wiped it up with a sock, but its disgusting quality, and wondering where it came from, polluted much of my work. It was that kind of day. After class, emptying water bowls. Talking to Wendy and Sn about stuff going on around the center, especially a program for retirees that is happening in a few weeks.

Back home. Made a veggie burger and some instant potatoes. Ate while listening to the BBC. Hung out with MB for a bit, she showing me a belly dance video. Then, down basement to complete my practices.
