Grr.

I was charging my way through sorting a big pile of papers into smaller piles, but at some point, the meaning for the two biggest piles got switched. This is bugging me more than I think it should.

Also, either: my laptop screen's contrast has spontaneously reduced; or I'm having a vision problem; or I mis-remember what the screen should look like. I think I've ruled out vision problems, at least. Leaving the appealing possibilities of hardware failure or tricks of memory. Joy.

Thirdly, I had meant to write about last weekend's music adventures, but it's increasingly likely I won't. Boo.

Also, my body's not being terribly cooperative- neck, shoulder. I should be doing my shoulder exercises, but I'm lazy. Boo.

What's balancing these out is that I'm expecting some good news next week. Also, I'm going to my Grandmother's 100th birthday party next weekend. And, and, and.

Happy Spring, anyway.

WRT the screen contrast, double-check the power settings, too. Perhaps it's in conservation mode?

With the sorting piles, atleast they will be semi-sorted, and you'll just need to find where they merged.

My paper sorting is pretty easy, I have a pile for important documents, and a pile for origami. :)

I didn't hear anything about good news Thursday, hopefully that's because I'm not required.

Congrats to your grandmother, even though I don't know her. :)

Thanks. I expect there will be pictures. It promises to be quite a party.

Grandmother might not qualify for living in the wrong colony, but this is as good an excuse as any to point out some birthdays and anniversaries can net the celebrant cool certificates.

Heh. That's even better- I can tell her, well, if you were Canadian, I would've brought you a letter from the Queen. But since you're American, the best I can do is Willard Scott...
