Cursed.

Note new icon. Its arrival is particularly timely.

Last night: too hot and humid. The dishwasher overflowed and flooded the kitchen. sweh is being used viciously by Eris. Slept very ill, because of the above reasons, but also because the damn cat started howling like mad because he was afraid of the dark or something and wanted me to carry him down basement to his litterbox[1]; and then I got paged at 5am for silliness on the part of one of the mailhosts. And again a bit later when it acknowledged it was back up. And again later when it went down again.

Ran late, no time for breakfast, no time to water my poor thirsty plants. And I need to be intelligent, wise, and creative today. Won't this be fun.

[1] You might draw the conclusion that this is because we have someone staying in the basement, causing feline trepidation. However, a) the cat has been going down there perfectly happily every day, and b) there wasn't anyone down there at the time anyways. Therefore, my cat is just a fuckin' goober.

Ucky hot, and it's definitely a lot more humid than 55%, sorry Weather Underground. However, I was working with David, who is on the same page as me with respect to taking it somewhat easy during the nasty weather, so I am neither dehydrated nor brain-cooked. Yay. Did pretty well, generally, although I had a mildly frustrating bit of doing a throw that I know I've done before but it just wasn't clicking. Finally achieved competency towards the end, so that was okay. My leg's still hurting on a few flavors of ukemi, which is not so okay. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to be stuck with this for all time. (Though someone said in the locker room that in her experience, injuries like that do take many months to clear up completely. "Live and find out", clearly.)

An oddity: sitting in seiza is very comfortable before class starts (at which point I've usually done some warm-up stretches), and comfortable from about 1/3 of the way through class and onward; but it's rather painful when we pause after the first technique we've been working on. I'm not concerned or anything, just sort of mildly WTF?.

This is me losing my nerd cred.

I want a simple thing: that whatever LJ icon I put in my user post shall show up in my "recent entries" page. However, taking a look at the relevant portions of the FAQ produced an instant MEGO reaction. These complicated webby things are foreign to my quaint and simple people. I might be able to work through this after a good night's sleep, but at the moment, waah.
