Wiped

I'm not sure if I actually have a cold. But I was coughing and short of breath all yesterday evening, and have decided that under the circumstances, my desire not to go to the gym this morning is sensible. cattitude persuaded me to take my temperature (98.8°F, which is close to "normal" but a little high for me, especially in the morning--though the tea might have affected that) and take some cough syrup for the symptoms.

I'm less sure about canceling my plans with Mom for this afternoon. I'll call her in a bit, when I've finished this cup of tea, and figure something out.

Still wiped, but happier

I am feeling very pleased with my family at the moment.

Mom thinks it entirely reasonable that I not go over there today, and didn't push me to have her up here instead: she just asked whether I felt like company, I said no, and we proceeded to make other plans.

cattitude is being helpful with tea and other support-for-someone-with-a-cold, and flexible about working around my revised schedule.

roadnotes is offering sensible advice by IM (as is my friend D, who is not on LJ because she fears the timesink).

And I'm drinking a tea that papersky introduced me to, and feeling comforted by that connection.

cookies, browsers, kvetch kvetch whinge

I was trying to look at freecycle. It uses Yahoo groups. After a bit of futzing around, I succeeded, I'd thought, in telling Netscape that it didn't have to block Yahoo cookies after all (I probably set that three years ago) and thus managed to retrieve my Yahoo password.

Yahoo let me log in and change my password. From there, it urged me to log in again. This has proven impossible. I even took a deep breath and its advice of trying a different browser (IE instead of Netscape). Nada. Zilch. Just messages telling me to enable cookies, after I had done so.

Ah, well, it seems like a good and sensible project, but I shall have to live without it, and vice versa.

Paid account extensions

If you had a paid account when LiveJournal was down this past weekend, you can claim two extra weeks of paid time here.

I don't know why they don't just extend the time automatically, but all you need to do is log in and click.

It's quite pleasant

I'm sitting here, quietly drinking tea, smiling, and rearranging a chunk of my self-image.
