rowanfLife went into overdrive again and I haven't had time to sit and write about what I've been doing... I'm just doing it. Thursday last week was Umbanda choir practice. Friday I hung out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sbisson and marypcb - we went to lunch with Russell at Adobe and then hit Fry's so I could pick up a stand for the monster TV for Russell and Simon could pick up some memory. They took off to meet spikeiowa at Il Fornaio and I took a class in Second Life on creating your own animation overrider. We had problems with the sim crashing and I still haven't gotten mine to compile. Bah. After class, I joined Simon & Mary & Spike for dinner and had a lovely visit.
Saturday I did some grocery shopping and then headed up to Oakland for the CoG meeting. I am very, very glad that I havemr_kurt as my co-First Officer. As the meeting got tense, we were able to trade off running it. He rocks. It was a hard meeting but we got through it. I am both relieved and saddened by the outcome. I got home and had dinner and hung out with Russell.
Sunday, I went shopping for Tuesday dinner and then headed up to SF with Russell to attend the Opening of the McDonald Windows exhibit. Like an idiot I had lost my invite and had only written down the part about the opening in my calendar. We were actually supposed to get there at 2:30 to the chapel for a blessing thing. Oh well. I taped the speakers at the opening and hope to do a podcast about it. I have material for a couple or three podcasts but I haven't put one out in months. I really need some time. I love my new Edirol R-09 flash recorder!emberleo and others carried it off to use to record Umbanda chants so hopefully our choir will have more material to work with soon. We had expected more food at the catered gallery opening and decided to go out to eat. We wound up at the wonderful Aziza Turkish restaurant at Geary & 22nd. It was yummy, but not quick and we got home late enough I just fell into bed.
Monday I worked, practiced bellydance and chopped vegetables and cooked meat for my stew for Tuesday dinner. I have hardly been inworld in SL in days and I am feeling very overbooked and stressed. And my hair totally needs dying and salons are just never easy to deal with. (My stylist took her appt book home with her for the weekend and won't be in until 10 tomorrow so they couldn't do appts with her and no one else had any. She probably won't either.) I think it is just that I am so stressed that anything that crosses my path brings more stress. I hate it when I get this way. I have something every night for weeks, we're away this weekend at HAI and my next unscheduled day is February 4th. And the next free night after that is the 22nd of February. Why do I do this to myself?
In a recent WSJ article on XDR-TB, "In addition, South Africa routinely suspends social benefits to people when they are hospitalized, so many patients avoid treatment." *boggle* When does one need social benefits more?! What kind of policy is that?!
Some SL tips I want to remember
