Brought the next Hypno up to be printed! Didn't think I'd have it ready for a couple of weeks. It's nominally a "Halloween" issue, so it should be no problem getting it out to everybody well ahead of October 31st. And they're already back! She had told me Monday at the earliest earlier, so this is a delightful surprise.

This might sound inappropriate, but today I had a therapy session with someone that gave me a great sense of competence and satisfaction because it took me all the way back to my days as a rape-crisis counselor. As far as that issue goes, I've still got it -- and this client, who rarely sees any helpful effect from treatment, clearly felt a little better today.
Yes, I am a sort of flightless vulture.

I stopped by a cart of a guy who sharpens things with my mower blade yesterday. While waiting, I spoke with a pleasant woman who was 93 and having her branch cutters sharpened. She was happy, alert and still likes to do her own yard work. At 93! That's 33 years older than me. I seriously doubt I'll even make it to 93, let alone be doing any yardwork. Good for her, though.

Someone cut me off as I was leaving for work and I had to slam on the brakes. My chocolate-orange cake slid off the seat and landed upside-down on the car floor. Amazingly, It was totally undamaged and still fine to use in today's raffle.

Well, this is certainly looking a lot better (for us in P'cola) with the new spaghetti models:

I woke up today and checked my bank balance. I found they'd given us a bonus -- almost 2 weeks' pay worth of do-re-mi. Then I came to work and saw an email from the dark overlords saying they'd approved a 3% raise. I don't remember ever getting a raise bigger than 2% before!

Goofed on my taxes (which I'd already gotten an extension on) and IRS gave me 20 days to get it corrected. Been nagging at me since I received the notice, though I've been trying to put my mind off it with other chores. Finally got to it and sent back today. Feels like a weight off.

Afterwards I went to my mailbox, and they'd also given me a sizeable mileage reimbursement check!
