1. my mac is still with the IT guy. i just talked to him. he was able to back up all of my files and he's now reinstalling my operating system. when he did the diagnostic tests he got some goofy I/O errors (whatever the hell those are). but apparently there's nothing wrong with my hard drive. he's hoping that reinstalling the operating system will fix things. that's good news, right?
2. i waste a lot of time playing on my computer. even after going out last night, i came home and actually did some more knitting. and this morning i was up at 5:30 and out of the house by 6:15.
3. i need a haircut. it's been well over a year since the last cut and i need a trim because my ends are all uneven and kind of witchy looking. but i'm also finally happy with the length. it's a conundrum.
4. i've started taking vitamins and i feel better. i've also a slice a banana bread every morning for breakfast since sunday. it's either the placebo effect, the banana bread, both or neither.
5. and here are other things i've been thinking about:
