I got back from Google about two weeks ago, and I think I’ll save that particular story for another day. It’s been awhile since then, and I’ve been extremely busy. Things haven’t really slowed down… but tonight was nice, quiet, and I spent it doing more or less whatever I wanted.
Our friend Shawn was in town for a couple of weeks, which was a blast. We got to show off our house, our neighborhood, and our town, and it made me realize how happy I am with where we’re at. We went down to Lake Hartwell, on the SC-Ga border, and had a great weekend full of dogs and tubing and swimming. It was hot as hell, but we had a good time.
Classes started, too. It’s been a blur, learning to balance work and school. I’m working on Saturdays now, which leaves Sunday as my only real day off. Mondays and Tuesdays are spent in Greensboro, in class. Natania’s working now, too, so she’s out of the house more often. This is what we call a “transition period.”
Calli started coughing a few days ago, too. This happened to correspond exactly with the disappearance of her blue microchip tag, so I assumed that she had swallowed it and it was stuck in her throat, or something. Took her to the vet today, and it turns out she’s just bruising herself by pulling too hard on the leash. We just need to get her a new collar… thank God.
So, last week I installed a wireless router and I’m sitting in the living room, typing this on the iBook. I’ve been painting miniatures and checking the PA Games and Technology Forum. It’s really nice. Life is nice when it’s slow. And it’s more appreciated when that slowness is plopped down right in the midst of a bunch of craziness.
