Limping along...

I got up at 4:30 am and sat down to work. The first thing on the list was to finish my LJ Idol piece. When I posted it, I learned of agirlnamedluna's passing, and it shook me up pretty hard. Stuff like that is not supposed to happen, certainly not to people that you know (although admittedly, I did not know her well), and certainly not to people that young with small children.

I recalled how Nathalie and I "intersected" for LJ Idol back in 2010, and put together a pair of pretty interesting tales. Interacting with her on the project was a smooth experience and a lot of fun.

* * * I made reasonable progress on a giant file of various specifications due Thursday morning when the same client dropped 4K source words (for a different end client) on my desk for rush translation. Talk about packing 10 pounds of stuff in a 5-pound bag!

I seriously considered not going to tai chi this evening, but figured it would be the best opportunity I'd have this week to do something that at times approaches meditation, so I went.

I voted, and rewarded myself with a nice lunch, which I cooked at home. The results of the election were disappointing, as someone always seems to win in every race.

Time to hit the sack and get in some quality rack time.

It's gonna be a long day tomorrow.

Cheers...

Losing Luna was a horrible jolt this weekend. I worry about her poor daughter, who was much too young to have her mother gone. So shocking and so unfair.

You might find some comfort in the nice things people are saying about you in Gary's alexpgp thread in the Green Room. :)
