I'm deeply annoyed by work foo. They've just announced another re-design, which is weird given how tight our schedules are. We're supposed to get all the details on Tuesday, and I dread the upcoming insanity. Will I ever be able to leave work again?

Last night with Rachel was very pleasant. I now have two scrunchies and four headbands (made by her), and a friendship bracelet & headband that I made myself. I'm wearing one of the new scrunchies today -- it's this really cool cloth, dark purple and red-purple fading into each other, with an odd pattern of circles and cross-hatching. Very nice. The other one reminds me happily of my Trapper-Keeper folders from elementary school; pink & blue brushstrokes. I'll wear it Monday so I can describe it better.

Rachel and I gossiped a bunch, but inevitably ended up talking a lot about my recovery stuff. One-track mind, right now -- but she said that from her reading it's both perfectly normal and does eventually go away. Thank G-d.

Of course, it also tends to come back again. Cyclic.

I checked in my code yesterday! This was triumphant, even though I had horrible problems due to not really understanding what one is allowed to do with inheritance. Rachel fixed that, and then found a few bugs for me. I fixed those last night, and as of now am completely checked in. I devoutly hope this stuff survived the redesign.

Now I should be working on the screen Satish gave me, but it's late enough (good grief, it's almost *7*!) that my brain isn't working any more. My brain is ready to go home and lie someplace flat. I'm only still at work because I'm talking to Marith online, and don't really want to stop. It's hard to give up interesting conversations, even for the extreme pleasure of lying down.

No, I am stubborn. I will go home.
