I expected, after having spent the day in doors—and sysadminning, which is almost like spending time in a whole other place, inside the internet or some such—that it would feel good to get out of the house today. But as soon as I set foot on the sidewalk in front of my house I just felt sad. And it was even one of my favourite sorts of days: that light spring rain, when it's warm and not to wet, the sky is white but bright, and everything else is just so green. But I guess it wasn't to be.

Perhaps it's post-semester, the tide rolling out, the adrenaline of the last few weeks dried up. Perhaps it's because the possible library job didn't pan out. Perhaps it's just low blood sugar. Perhaps it's other things. Or a combination.

I did finally get email services back up and running today. At least 24 hours offline, probably more like 36.

Spent the afternoon working on a commissioned photo manipulation for my mom. No money in it, but I do enjoy making things.

Then home, a big bowl of rice—sort of comfort food—two beers, and the new episode of Doctor Who, which definitely did make me smile.
