Helpful advice

Wednesday: Slightly less fitful sleep, but still, not well rested in the AM. Computer, shower, email. Mom called, and we chatted about gluten-free breakfast options, and the plans for Ann to come to Boston.

A series of helpful suggestions put me in a sour mood today. Its a bit like, your house just burnt down, and then, people are offering advice on what color the walls in the dining room should be. "If you were interested in helping with my house, a bucket of water a few nights back would have been useful. Seeing as you weren't up to the task then: piss off."

Down basement, morning practices, and drums. Oscar, breakfast. Watered the plants. Headed out across town.

At the office, spent all day fixing a bug I made in adding a very small feature several days back. The testers and tech support people sometimes wonder why I resist adding small features near a release. This is why. Voiced my strong dislike of a new behavior in the program. A lot of times, I need to freak out to be heard. It sucks.

Met Shawn at 7:45 at the Starbucks. The house hadn't been cleaned. A brief, somewhat perfunctory rehearsal. I was definitely not playing my best. Odd little rhythmic hiccups, and brain-farts. Did some good work on EotN and Growing Circle though. Gave Shawn a ride home, telling him about Chimeras.

Put out the garbage out. Watched some vid. Down basement, neck stretching, and then a downloaded episode of Lost on the treadmill. Now, to complete the day.
