1. Still have terminal insomnia (not surprising, since I have had it since September). Gave in and went to be stupid-early last night so that I got a normal-people amount of sleep last night.

  2. Last week I used an inner join where I should have used an outer join. Fixed that, and now I just need to recognize and track down the less obvious bugs. Downside to this being an inner join/outer join issue is that there is no justification to sing, “You put your left join in, you take your left join out…” to the tune of the hokey-pokey.

  3. Someone gave me an edible gift that I have been told by my allergist that I should not eat. Brought it to work. (OK, and if we are being honest here, I ate some anyway. But I have an Epi-pen in my desk, so that should be fine. But I have also been told that, unlike expired Advil, expired Epi-pens are not that great, so maybe it is not as fine as I think? But I eat things that I am allergic to often enough that I think that I might have desensitized myself, as long as I keep eating them? Also months and months ago I stopped taking that other medicine that doesn’t work that makes you have to choose between dying of an allergic reaction and dying of an interaction between the medication and the Epi-pen, so that is a plus, I guess.)

  4. Left my camera at home. Maybe I went home over “lunch” and got my camera and then stood around at the end of the runway for a while to get the interesting plane that was landing during the daytime. Felt like a totally not crazy person because there was someone else hanging out at the end of the runway with even more crazy person plane spotting gear.

  5. Even more interesting plane is coming at night. Based on what I know about my cameras, my lenses, the locations near the airport where you can hang around without being hassled, the light situations at these locations at night, and my tripod (most importantly, the fact that it is at home because DAL8905 did not file a flight plan until after I was back at work, so I did not know that yet another interesting plane was coming today), I’m just going to go home and not head back to the airport. Do you want to come with me to the airport tomorrow or Thursday and pretend that we are parking a car so that I can try to photograph N674US from the top of one of the nearby parking garages before it leaves SAN?

  6. Husband did not have to go to work today, so he went hiking. When I was home in the middle of the day to grab my camera, I set Roomba going. I think he dislikes Roomba almost as much as the cats do. I care about his opinion more than I care about the cats’ opinions.

  7. Is this other medicine that is not supposed to work actually working? Not to jinx anything, but it looks like Barnard’s exact test might give us a meaningless number to “answer” this question before my next appointment with my regular neurologist!

  8. Tomorrow we have the meeting with the termite contractor about all the things that we need to do to prepare for the termite tenting that is coming up in the near future. I have decided not to ask crazy questions, like whether the poison from the termite tenting will kill the ants. I’ve sort of gotten used to having ants. Now that the ants have started ignoring the cat food, I have gotten really good at ignoring the ants. I take secret delight that someone I know would find my ant nonchalance to be disgusting if I told her about it. But maybe the termite poison will also kill the ants?
