Up and down, as usual. Colleen's health was pretty good for most of the week; she seems to have lost some ground over the last few days. It was interesting to see how well my mood tracks her health. Not all that well, as it turns out, but some.

I ran through the interesting exercise Friday of actually looking at the mood tags here on DW. The ideal tool for that turns out to be git grep, by the way. The script still needs some work.

We went to "Music Under the Trees" yesterday. Given Colleen's health it was kind of touch-and-go, but we had a blast. Colleen was flagging noticably toward the end of the afternoon, and we left shortly after the dinner break. But not before hearing the song Alexander Adams wrote for her.

In other news, I finally tracked down the problem I've been having with my netbook occasionally rebooting when I suspend it, reboot after suspending, or take it off wall power. As I suspected, it's thermal. Critical high temp. is 92°C (that's the lowest of the three limits for different sensors) -- that also explains why it's often too hot to actually be a laptop. And why Desti loves sitting on it.

  * awake 2ish; S=2:27; apparently dozed off eventually without the mask
  * Up 5:10; W=203.4;
  : apparently the X1 Carbon 4G can come with 16G of RAM.
  % severely incapussitated right now - Desti in lap
  : Why didn't I know about git grep??  Automatically sorted.
    git grep -n '[0-9])[ADT]'  # after replacing A or D with T for transfers
  x 10am UUCWI Music, a Universal Language
  * Charmers for brunch with C - used the wheelchair.  I'm uncertain about that - it's
    heavier than any of the parts of the scooter.  OTOH there's only one of it, and one
    can use the lip of the trunk for leverage.
  / do a clean and flush on C's catheter.  Worried about low output.
    -> pushed it in a little (after wiping with alcohol) -- I suspect it of having been
       pulled out a little when C's scooter got away from her.
    -> seemed to go okay; we'll see if it worked.  Involved a cleanup and laundry

  % amusing observation.  C:  "Please bring me the little silver box from the tray by my
    chair."  me:  "You mean the one you keep your hearing aids in?"  C: "Yes."
    OTOH, if she asks me for something by name, I often have to ask "What does it look
    like?"  Works both ways.
  % hot; back hurts (though less, because the naproxen is starting to hit)

0729Mo
  & awake at least once to help C
  * up 7:10; S=7:50;
  / the catheter flush etc. seems to have worked.  Whew!
  / 12-1 C OT Marcella -> exercises
  & did some scanning for L -- network keeps losing packets, apparently; USB worked.
  & scripted and chorded out "ballad of the shape of things"
    The easy way seems to be to copy the above-the-line chords from %/lyrics.chords.txt,
    adjust the spacing, and convert them down to embedded brackets.
  
0730Tu
  & awake sometime
  % dream: (a lot more, but I don't remember) - tour bus, big house being used as a
    school; got separated from tour group (that's a common one).  Decrepit plumbing when I
    had to use a bathroom (another common element).  Keeping track of Ticia.
  / C diarrhea; cleanup.  Thank gods for paper pads.
  * up 6:15; S=6:36;
  * 10ish get C washed so Thel can insert catheter without having to do cleanup
  * 11am C Home Health (RN) Thel
  / asked about the antibiotic, which was ertapenam, and was stopped several weeks ago
  * 1ish pm C (PT) Amy
  * 1pmish L' -> mopping, bathrooms, bed.
    % pleased:  she liked CC+S.

  * 1pm 50+ group chat on 7c
  * 2pm town hall chatroom on 7c
    -> way too high bandwidth, low content.
  * sometime: C needs to get labs done (leave 2ish with V)
  * 4pm C hair coloring
    -> swap off with V; arrived 4:30ish.
  % another thermal? shutdown on Cygnus, despite flipping it and letting it cool for a few
    minutes.  Apparently that's not enough.

0801Th
  & awake 12:30ish C needed changing; flush catheter; % overload/freakout
     / C had been up several times; leakage and diarrhea.  Bletch.
  * Up 5am; W=200.2, S=5:27;
  / put more saline into balloon.  Pushed on catheter a little too, which was probably a
    mistake even with alcohol.  Change pad, give C some loperamide; % overload/freakout
  % back hurting.  2 naproxen, heat.

  % 9:30 pm sleepy
  ! actually rather pleased with myself - I stopped trying to get C's fan plugged in in
    the bedroom, rather than go into contortions trying to make a squid fit.  Actually I
    could have done it with a pigtail extender; may try that tomorrow or later.  Not much
    of an accomplishment, but I'll take what I can get.
  & pulled out a pigtail extender and plugged it in.  Took a while to find the right
    socket to extend, but it worked.

  / C had been throwing up, so won't want much if anything for dinner.  I'm stealing her
    General Tso's chicken; way too spicy for her.

    I'm finding it fascinating.  Needs a little more preprocessing to normalize, e.g.,

    look at ACPI will check temp and shut down.

  / home ~9; did a flush; not clear that it helped much.  We'll see in the morning.  She

    that matter)
