I am developing a very very annoying [to me] habit of becoming irrational about my health during periods of great stress. Now that I&#8217;m back into rational-land [or &#8220;illusion of  rational&#8221; land which will have to suffice] it&#8217;s something I&#8217;m officially working on. <\/p>\n<p>Or will, when I get back from Boston, and Puerto Rico, and Ann Arbor Michigan, and New Hampshire. I know, I know &#8220;Gee, Jessamyn can&#8217;t imagine what in your life could be stressful!&#8221; Today I can mostly laugh at myself, yesterday things weren&#8217;t seeming so funny.<\/p>\n<p>But despite my seeming hibernation, a lot has gotten done. I helped install an online catalog for a public library. I used a reel mower to mow my lawn. I sent out some letters. I almost finished a book. I took a lot of people out to lunch in the past week or two and got taken out to lunch myself. Yay for lunch. Today I get in the car and drive down to Massachusetts. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.is2k7.org\/facilitators\">Check me out on this list of fancy people<\/a>!
