plutherusIt started last night. Yay, I finally got to wear my coat in California. I bought it here about three years ago, but I rarely wore it except during trips to Oregon.
Cable cars are fun in the rain, because the brakes don't work very well when they're wet. "OK, everyone, we can't stop, so if you want off on this street you'll just have to jump off when we slow down."
On the way home, I got to the sushi-to-go place too late. They were closed, so I just picked up a burger and fries from the disco malt shop next door. While getting the mail on my upstairs, after the mile-and-a-half walk up and down steep San Francisco hills from the cable car stop to my apartment, I realized I wasn't even breathing hard now. Hooray for me! I'm finally getting used to the daily trek!
I have a futon now. Yay, the place is finally starting to look like an apartment. Bookshelves (and new desk) arrive on Friday, and then I can get rid of the rest of these boxes. Since I have to be here when they arrive, I'm telecommuting that day, which my boss seems to think is code for "taking a day of vacation without using a vacation day", but gave me permission anyway. (Actually, unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to work anyway, since I have four-hour presentation part 2 on Monday, and need to get some code working before then...)
Cat's making me nervous, getting almost her entire body out the window. No ledge on the other side, and we're three stories up. She keeps looking like she's about to jump. No, kitty, don't jump! You have so much to live for! And I don't know where the nearest animal hospital is anyway! And have to car to get there. Hmm, what would I do if one of them got injured? Take them in a Taxi to the vet? I guess so.
And after nagging everyone about using the GWoB mailing list, and keeping each other in the loop, they finally launched several discussion threads at once, none of which I've done more than skim over yet. Guess I should go practice what I preach for a few minutes....
