Feeling out of sorts...
Sep. 11th, 2014 10:13 pmI have no idea whether the feeling is based on my physical or mental state (or some combination), but I set off to do some proactive stuff this morning (get the car inspected), but ended up wandering the aisles at Barnes & Noble and not finding it hard at all to keep from buying stuff. Between "I can get the Kindle version" and "Really?" I didn't find much to amuse me.
I even passed up coffee at the in-store Starbucks.
There was a small mob of chess-players just outside the door to the Starbucks, observing a rather ho-hum game. Whatever small amount of time I've been spending on lichess.org has made me sort of automatically start looking for a win in almost every position. This is probably a good thing, until you get used to the idea that not every position offers that kind of possibility.
A fairly large chunk of work arrived late in the day. I'm about 60% of the way through it, and I feel better.
Tai chi went well.
