I want a do-over

I don't know what it was about today, but I didn't like it. Me and Diana had some issues to work out, plus I had issues with a friend, and just generally speaking I felt uncomfortable and crappy over it all. I don't like feeling like that.

And I was already feeling not-ideal because of some issues at work yesterday. I guess in the grand scope of things none of these issues mean jack in the long run, but that doesn't absolve me from feeling crappy about it all.

By late morning I got into my forum coding project, and things went slowly through the afternoon. I couldn't stay engaged and I wasn't thinking in any critical fashion. I just spun my wheels. I made up for it a little tonight, but I feel like I wasted precious weekend time.

On a positive note, I got the wedding weekend hotel booked, but I still haven't called Hawaii to haggle with the place I really want to stay. I haven't even explored the one-night options that we're bookending the trip with, or booked the extra flights. I do, at least, have the CLE to HNL legs booked, so at least that's set.

We cranked out recent episodes of House and Fringe tonight, so we don't get too behind on the DVR stuff. BeyondTV rules. TiVo can suck it, with its lack of SmartSkip.

I just wish I had a do-over for the day. Now that I'm working, and being surprisingly intense in my role at this gig, I really treasure the weekends more. And yet it's counter-intuitive to expect productivity out of your leisure time. I miss the hot tub. It's just not practical in these single-digit temps.

Tomorrow will be better.
