Brain... like... noodles!

[annathepiper]

I did in fact wind up leaving work early today, when my brain started sending out warning signals that if I didn't save my work immediately and power down, it was going to power down for me. I did at least make it all the way through today's BVT run and send out results on that, though. And both my lead and my teammate Joel were okay with that, so it was all good.

Caught the 545, and probably could have gotten home faster if I'd ridden it downtown and caught the 522 from there--the reverse of my usual morning commute. But a) I was feeling twitchy about being around too many people, and b) I realized that if I got in some walking time, I could exonerate myself from having to do the treadmill when I got home. So I got off at Montlake instead--where I'd used to get off when solarbird and I were still living in the U-district.

From there I walked for 25 minutes, till I got to the bus stop in front of the University Village. Not quite sure what the distance was; I estimated 1.25 miles, Dara estimates 1.5. Trying to figure out how I can look it up. I'll put myself down for 1.25 until I can verify the distance, for Rivendell purposes. Plus the to-and-from bus stop extra mile, that's 2.25 miles today. Not bad.

Got myself a tasty smoothie, then caught the 372 to get home.

And I tried to have a nap, with little success. Got that very annoying 'too keyed up to sleep but too tired to be coherent' feeling. Having some chamomile and peppermint tea in the hope that that will help.

Miles on the journey: 13.36
Miles to Rivendell: 444.64

Oh, hey, you livei n Seattle too (I'm assuming from references to the 545 and Montlake), and reading past entries maybe working at MS? :)

I used to MUSH with you, sort of, on various Perns and CrystalMUSHes, and found this LJ through your website, I think (otherwise I can't remember). I work in building 24. Just dropping a line and hoping you don't mind me adding you to my f-list.

Greetings! I used to live in Seattle, yeah, in the U-district. Now I live in Kenmore. :) You're quite welcome to Friend me!

I used to play on PernMUSH and CrystalMUSH, pretty much; I was briefly on a couple other Pern games, but only briefly. I was F'hlan and Mehlani on PernMUSH, and Kevlan, Tamber, Jerrik, and Tance on Crystal; would I recognize any of your characters? :)

I played Meara at Telgar for a while, but that was in your later years on Pern I think, and Jilayna was my foremost character on CM. I think I emailed you in the last year about your logs. =)

Ah yes, I remember! And glad to encounter you in another context. :)
