Long numbers, Gus slowing down

Monday: Slept a little late, but up late, so feeling groggy. Web. Got Gus, who wasn't looking so good, and gave him some treatments. Shower. Downstairs and fed the cats and made a smoothie. Down basement, morning practices and drums. Worked on the DVDs and burned a couple new masters. Put away tools I'd been using to build the furnace doors. Swept up in the garage a bit. Added some extra insulation to the doors for good measure. Paid bills. Called the Somerville condo board, and looked into loans (about this house down the street).

Headed to work, it starting to rain. Got a coffee at Starbucks just as the "sky opened up." At work began a "long number" project by making a wrapper object, and doing batch search and replaces. Wound up simplifying some other classes in the process. Got some stuff compiling by the end of the day. Shut the computer down, since the power is going off in the am.

Back home. Gus had made a mess upstairs and was not wanting to move around much. I cleaned up after him and gave him some more fluids, then quarantined him in the downstairs bathroom. Down basement and played with some hardware, trying to do a format conversion. Didn't work so well, and I gave up. Some evening practices. MB returned home. When I was done with a segment, upstairs and hello. She was hanging with Gus. We ate some leftover noodles, talking about our friend RH. I mentioned a "level 4ish" idea, but I guess it wasn't a good time. Made the bed. Some guitar practice. Down basement and doing some research on how to export AppleWorks draw documents in a format that can be edited. The best method thus far seems to be to print to PDF, and then use a draw program that can open PDFs. Now to complete the day.
