Oct. 26th, 2004 10:19 amSo, I've decided to continue Sunday's theme, and post only the good things that occur for a week to see if it all affects my perception of events. I do want to know if my life, in fact, continues to suck rocks, or if that's just my perception of things.
So anyway, this week is:
Yesterday, I was able to get a refund for my Red Elvises ticket quite painlessly. I picked up a couple of really cheap packs of chocolate bars when I got my meds, which should last me till next Easter at least. I got to take a nap during work on the extremely comfortable couch, and when I got home (at a reasonable hour, even!) I took the opportunity to work on my Zen Jukebox project. I managed to get two working well after a bit of soldering, and one I *think* works though I have to test it some more. Tonight I'll probably deal with that one and see if I can get at the headphone jack of another; the layout's a bit weird.
I didn't take any cough syrup yesterday, and managed to get to sleep without nyquil.
This morning I only overslept by an hour, and there was a very good busker in the T stop (guitar and panflutes) that I got to listen to for about twenty minutes.
I also finally got all the major bugs out of the script I've been working on for the past week. I think at this point it qualifies as an app, though. I had to rewrite the whole thing just because they're two different processes. But this way it'll be easier to add stuff, though the script way is faster.

I'll be interested to see how the week-long reframing exercise turns out.

Date: 2004-10-26 09:13 am (UTC)The reframing'll be interesting. I really need to be able to see these as good things, though, rather than the best of a bad situation, because I'm trying to reinforce the "I am okay, good things can happen to me" mantra. It's less useful when they can happen... they just don't.
(Thinking on things that didn't get mentioned due to that)
Yeah.
