yesterday was better

i tried recording one of my poems yesterday, but i'm not particularly happy with the result. on the way to work, i stopped by the clinic prepared for a fight about covering our hospital visit, and was caught off guard by a lack of protest on their part. having said that, it's only the first round (the cover request needs to go through a committee or something) so i guess it's wait-and-see-time...

it was a productive work day, and relaxed. i struggled a bit with an overactive last-mile digestive system towards the end of the day which was uncomfortable. although i left the office later than i would have liked, it was due to helping out our on-call resolve something so i ended the day on a successful note.

amusingly, my boss was working with me on the final stretch and he witnessed copilot giving me a hand: all it takes is one good suggestion that saves time and increases confidence to make it worthwhile, and he's sold. even if its suggestions are often wrong, they're almost always useful. sometimes they're useful in that i can press tab and i'm done, and sometimes they're useful like a rubber duck.

the shopping experience on the way home was a bit frustrating, but still better than spending double or more money and carrying a small bit every day is certainly preferable to huge loads irregularly.

i was tired last night. gd and i couldn't agree on what to watch so we ended up restarting 2012's dredd, and i'm pleasantly surprised at how much sleep i got.

i had plans for this morning but i got distracted by a number of notifications on mastodon.

...

oops.
