For the third day in a row, I have accomplished a little of each of reading, writing, purposeful programming, music-making, and lots of walking. Very relaxing! Also conversations with friends are interesting, even if said friends seem to be in suboptimal situations and moods. I continue to strive to learn how to be helpful and effectively sympathetic. Room is mothy again, since I left the window open. Less hot, though, consequently. Had a short advisor meeting, since Frank is busy, busy, busy.
