Odin's Day

Administration
Happy birthday to galdrin and sunspiral!

Medical
It would appear that I overdid it yesterday. Ah well. At least I'll have a good set of symptoms to show the doctor today, right?

Today
Doctor, nap, writing. If I end up feeling okay post-doctor-visit, I may wander around a bit, but right now I'm thinking nap is more likely.

Daily Science
As it is, nanotubes are tiny. But researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to make these carbon structures even smaller. The size of the tubes, which are used in mass and chemical sensors as well as transistors and oscillators, impart properties that allow for more exacting performance--for instance, the ability to oscillate at higher frequencies or improved conductivity.

And now I am off to haul stuff down to the trash.

Overclocked

* New doctor friendly, but useless; unwilling to do anything til I get reviewed by the neurologist and rheumatologist. Made appt for neuro for 11/27. Called rheum's office, left message.

* Hauled my ass around the mall and Target. *Started* in serious pain. Imagine me now!

* I think I'm done $WINTERHOLIDAY shopping for Adam and Elayna, and a few other people. *Think*, because I can't access packed gifts until Adam gets the bookcases set up in his office so I can get the books out of the way here. Dear Adam: That NEEDS to happen this weekend.

* Am so stressed out by the physical impact of all of this and not getting help from my doctor that I found myself in near-tears upon realizing that, one again, I can't go to yoga. The beginner's class is Saturday and Wednesday. Saturday morning, I was dragged all over doing errands, so I couldn't make it (and consequently couldn't go help ragingamazon, as promised, because my body was beat). Tonight, Elayna has a school thing. And this upcoming Saturday, I'll be in Philadelphia. This is something that could really help me, and I can't manage to *get* there.

* I realize that being near-tears over not being able to go to yoga is unreasonable. So I'm going to go lie down now, as I have clearly lost all ability to deal.

* Shoutouts in lieu of spending time digging up e-mails: ragingamazon, I'm sorry - I overnapped and got to Diesel late, and didn't get your e-mail til after! Spookylove, yes, a tux from the Haunt would be great, and yes, get the Sophie tickets. *kiss*

* Not going to be responding to stuff here, as I am out of cope. Yes, my life is actually fantastic now - it's just that, today, my body has fuXX0red me. I'm gonna go have a pumpkin muffin and a long nap. Hopefully I'll be back in my right mind after a little rest.

* Anyone know of any discount airlines with a Boston --> Orlando route?
