I finally broke out my heating pad for my knee.  I did so because my knee always feels better after a shower and I shower in the hottest water I can stand. (which as the moment means not adding any cold at the tap.

I'm torn at the moment.  I think I'll be able to play Riff on Friday.  I want to play Riff on Friday.  I want to give Joe and others enough time to switch their plans.  Sigh. I think I'll be selfish for one more day.  If I don't have significant improvement by this evening, I'll give up performing this week.

I still in this amazing mental place.  I'm not pushing for any special outcomes.  What will unfold in my future will unfold and I'll deal with the consequences when they come up.  No pre-worrying. :)

The only adverse side-effect I can see at the moment is that I am tending to feel apart from people.  It's like I'm standing on the sidewalk watching the rest of humanity zoom this way and that, hoking at each other to hurry up or get out of the way. 

I know that I'm also in that traffic, but that part of me isn't available right now.  I'm really stuck in the observer mode.  That isn't bad, but it it sometimes lonely.

I just had to make a trip upstairs to see if Scix was available for a phone call. The heating pad on my knee made that trip nearly painless.

Yay. I'm going to take it off for a bit. I'm currently tethered to an outlet. I'm using my jeans to hold it in place. it really looks funny, but it works fine!

I'm having a warm moment. And this time it's around my heart rather than my knee.

Here's who I'm thinking of: Heather, Eric, Michelle and Amy. All have popped into my head while I've been working a computer problem. The four most distracting people I can think of. :)

I'm off to Costco.  I forgot I wanted to do that.

I was reminded a few minutes ago that there is something I like even less than being lied to directly.  I hate being deliberately led to a false conclusion. And, deliberate or not, I hate being left with the false conclusion.

My trust circuits have been under assault lately.  I'm holding up pretty well, though. The insurgents aren't winning.

I have logjam again. Okay. It's not logjam's fault. If I compile it with libsrvg, it complains about a missing libcroco-0.6.1a. That's missing because the package for Suse doesn't include the static library. I'm thinking of installing the library from the sources, but that will break the package system.

Sigh.

Too many cooks, the soup tastes bad and has no chance of better flavor with this batch.

In other news. I took the $50 out of the grocery fund. I spent $108 for food.

Logjam can make use of gtkhtml. When that library is linked in, logjam has a little html previewer. It's nice when I do something like ordered lists. I can tell what mistake I've made before I actually submit the post.

It requires gtkhtml3. I have that. No problem, right? Wrong. the configure script is looking for the package gtkhtml3 and I don't have that. So configure refuses to link in the library.

I'll have to futz with the configure script to test for the presence of the library itself rather than the damn rpm.

This REALLY sucks. I'm learning stuff, but it sucks anyway. :)

Argh. I've been off and on again hungry for several hours. I think I'm through waiting. Time to cook up a helping of rice. I wish I had something interesting to put it in with it. I spent $110 for food today and I have nothing interesting to eat. Something is completely wrong with this picture!
