good news/bad news...

The bad news is that my run of traffic-mishaps-associated-with-moves increased, as tenacious_snail and I were involved in a traffic accident on the way back from dropping off her U-Haul truck. (I had earlier gotten a speeding ticket while helping the GH! folks move...) On a dry road, it would have stopped short.

The good news is that it was only a fender-bender, pulling out of a driveway, swerving at very low speed. And I really needed to get the Mustang's front fender repainted anyway...

And other good news is that the drill is installed and is up...

Feeling a bit tired

After five trips in five weeks (JPL, Idaho, Atlanta, Houston/New Orleans, and DC) and having had no weekend down-time in almost 3 weeks (since 3/12), I'm feeling a bit tired. Jetlag is noticeable, too. Today was a full workday, after getting home after midnight... and someone at work is trying to renege on a handshake agreement and to poach one of my staff, less than four months before we go to our last field tests. Plus a meeting with JL. And homework for tonight. And other meetings, and the drill is here, and, oh yes, I had a minor car accident today... I'm actually both tense and fatigued, at once, and (my friends and sweeties forewarned) rather grouchy.

It was hard to stay through skating class... I was tired, my timing and posture were off, I felt clumsy... but I learned and made my first complete-circle jump (salchow).

Then dropped by S&P late in order to sign sarahh's card for next week's wedding, trying not to place names with stars...
