Huh.
I can't quite believe it's mid-August already. The last few weeks have been almost surreal, I've been so focused on getting the rest of my painting done to avoid living in chaos for weeks and weeks as I did in May. After my last post at the tail end of my first week of vacation, I disappeared into a truly frenetic week of bedroom, kitchen and front hall painting. (I'd planned to do the bathroom again with a colour I liked more, but screw it. :P) And by "truly frenetic" I mean "about three hours of sleep a night for a week" - I was so desperate just to GET THIS SHIT DONE. I WANT MY LIFE BACK, DAMMIT. Anyway, the lack of sleep in particular made last week at work veeery interesting, and by "interesting" I mean "shoot me now," but I'm pleased to report I'm feeling much better now. And as of this weekend I was finally, FINALLY able to start reassembling my kitchen and front hall closet and bedroom. So now, within a week of my bed bug nightmare "anniversary", I can finally start moving my belongings back in. HALLE-FUCKIN'-LUJAH!
I'm not done done, don't get me wrong - I've got a bunch of trim I'm actually quite looking forward to doing, and the contractors still need to do the kitchen backspash and when the kitchen and bathroom cabinets are done install those, but the worst of the majorly-interrupting stuff is over. And hopefully this means I can get back to other things, like, y'know, checking LJ. :P Oh, and playing with my new PS3. Did I mention that? Heh. :D It's part birthday present, part thanks from my parents for spending several days doing a lot of "tech support" for them (which was sweet of them, if unnecessary). Anyway, this means I can now play my beloved Flower whenever I like, and I've finally had a chance to see what my TV looks like with the Blu-Ray HD it was designed for. OMG. Seriously, Zil and I kept going, "Oooh, look at that [neat background detail]. I never noticed that before!"
...right, I should probably get some vague semblance of sleep tonight, eh? Okay, okay, back to bed for me. Just missed you all, and wanted to pop in and say hi, I'm thinking of you! *blows kisses*
