Interesting to read my last feels post, where I was starting to feel depression setting in -- I feel totally fine now. Brains!

OttawaSystems went well, though actual turn-out was a little low (compared to the tickets claimed). Still; most people showed up and we had a good time and very little went wrong and a lot went right.

The weeks are flying by. This is only a 3.5 day week for me, to be fair, and as approximately half of my week is taking up with pairing and meetings, that's like 1.75 days of programming-for-money this week and I will be done. Not a huge amount of time to play with.

I'm happier in the house. Some things have been fixed and we have a plan for the future. It's still possible that we discover some new fresh hell (or an old hell which has been going slowly wrong). That's any house, I guess.

While I am not as despondant and I was in September, it's also true that I am not getting a lot of joy out of just ... computer. I am enjoying things though. But I still find myself opening my laptop, looking at a few tabs, and then ... well it feels like I am trying to think up things to do on the computer as an excuse to keep it open but there isn't anything and I go do something else.

(I mean, there often is something, in the form of work for Colocataires etc. -- but not as a pure leisure activity).
