Trivial concerns given the times

I had things I wanted to record, things that seemed important to me, like me finally telling Stephanie I am dating--the substance of the immediate argument and the productivity of the later discussion. About that awkward situation I got Stas into with regards to a mutual friend. About Janne competing at the World Championship Bridge Tournament in Denmark. About how I've made an appointment to see my doc, I'm going to tell him I've spent the 6 months on the pill like he insisted, and to do his blood tests etc and if the results aren't what we wanted, I'm going off. I hate these mood swings... its hard enough controlling my libido w/o dealing with emotional-hormonal swings that amplify everything.

But the news of the world has intruded upon my self-absorbed bubble. So much death and suffering, in London, in Iraq, in Africa, and most likely in the Caribbean, what with the new hurricane. Makes me feel like my concerns are so trivial...
