i was having a better day. was, of course, being the operative word. woke up this morning, got my laundry to the laundramat where H stayed with it & got it all done.. got to the lab & had a productive meeting where i helped brainstorm for other projects in my group & got compliments (or teasing) about how much i knew from the SIGGRAPH community. then i went to R’s class which was entertaining. next, had a very productive meeting with my advisor & partner where we did quite a bit of talking about our project which was good. had a fabulous time swimming with H&R and folks at the lab. rushed off to go home, made food & watched TV. giggled with R and goofed around in general. then tried to come back to the lab.. and i remembered why i hate this fucking town. ice. it is all the fault of the ice. i slipped down the stairs in front of my house and now my left side hurts and i am grumpy. erg. i hate this weather. my insides hurt, my outsides hurt.. i feel like i am done with this body – how the hell am i going to be able to grow old?? i don’t get it.. i don’t know how to deal with my body and that is irritating. and i wonder why i am so grumpy.. my mind is definitely following my body’s lead and that is not a good thing.
