strange stuff
Whew, I haven't been sick in a long while. One thing you forget is how everything starts to seem related, like reality when you were a kid, or like dreams are all the time. For example, we might have to move, in the middle of my last month on this assignment, in which I really want to do mind bogglingly well. Moving is perhaps even more disrupting than the other things currently attacking my chances of this mind boggling success. Yes, there is already a long list. Plus, it's furiously hot out. One person who I know remotely got into a limb-loss type car accident. People are dancing in my neighborhood on the sidewalk at 7 in the morning. My ankle has swollen up, but just one of them, so call me Igor for now. And during my absence working code that was really working just fine somehow breaks itself without me even touching it. The connection between all these events? Hmmm...
