Semi-Recappy Ramble
Dear Friday,
Hello, and welcome. It's been a long week. Working from home isn't easy, especially when it's 90+ degrees out, you have no air conditioning, and opening the windows just makes the really loud construction next door even louder. I had no idea when I dropped my car off on Monday that I would spend the next four days carless and stuck at home. Okay, I wasn't really stuck, but I was definitely in car limbo waiting for it to be done every single day. I did at least get a nice motorcycle ride in to REI and BB&B. Sports equipment and kitchen gadgets, oh yeah. I also got a load of laundry done, which is huge because I'm usually never home when the laundry room is open.
In any case, I'm glad you've arrived, and I'm happy to be back in the office. It's air conditioned here. I also have my nice ergo setup, multiple monitors, and a much better network connection. There's also decaf coffee here. I cheated a bit on my caffeine free (except for DMD before hockey games) kick this week since I don't have decaf grounds at home.
The drive into work today was a pleasure. My car hasn't felt this smooth since it was new. Confidence inspiring, really. I was tempted to push it, but I'm also doing an experiment to see if the fix has an impact on my MPG. So, until the gas light comes on for this tank, I'm going to behave myself.
I'm looking forward to this weekend. I want to go to the farmer's market and maybe the self-serve yogurt place Aaron keeps raving about. Saturday night, hockey! Whoo hockey. Then, Sunday, maybe something on one of my bikes, followed by indoor skydiving for Alissa's birthday.
That reminds me, when I was too sick to go real skydiving for my birthday, I told myself I'd go for my half birthday. Well, that was last Sunday. I totally forgot. Woops.
Okay, I talked to Aaron about this weekend just now and he seems to have a very different idea of what we're doing than I do. I'm still gonna play hockey, dammit! And I'm not going to wear myself out with a big long hike beforehand. No siree!
But then, I DO need to hike. What to do, Friday? What to do?
Work? Oh yeah. You're a weekday. Talk to you later, then.
