Well, that week off is coming to a close.
In the time I've been off work, much has happened. I painted The Little Girl's room (Holy Purple, Batman!!), got rid of no less than 7 bags of stuff we were keeping that was trash, assembled 3 bags of stuff that needs to be shredded, and donated several bags of clothes and shoes plus a CD changer and DVD player to a local children's home. I took another stab at a new way of managing my finances, and it's working. Got rid of about a dozen recipes by getting them onto my hard drive. My office is clean - a Praise-Jesus-Miracle considering that only a couple weeks ago you could only walk through the door and sit in the computer chair. We're prepping the Master Bedroom for paint, and then it'll be the Living Room and hall after that.
All that, plus I worked from home (albeit not full-time by any means). Rebuilt my company laptop, got a bunch done, embarrassed a dude without even trying for flying off the handle at me before he had all the facts, took care of a client-in-crisis, and found out that my boss - second only to the owner - quit. Guess we've got some salary-cap room now, don't we...
Got back into regular reading, and have advance my position in The Fellowship of the Ring, only to realize that, despite not having made it to the Prancing Pony, I have seen three significant plot items that were never even hinted at in the movies. (As a sidenote, I don't care, because the movies still kick asses up between shoulders.) I won't meet my initial deadline of having the trilogy finished before Monster Hunter: Vendetta hits the shelves, but Larry won't mind because I'm still buying it the moment it hits the shelves and he's just in it for the money anyway;) All that on top of finishing another expansion of Dragon Age: Origins. Busy, busy.
I can see parts of my house that I haven't seen for months or years. There are ever fewer people at my office. My walls are changing colors. My wife is parking in the garage.
I am gettin it done, y'all. I'm gonna go get a beer.

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
