Wheeeee
Fell off the earth there, didn't I. Well, good, I needed to.
Thursday I got eaten alive and played hard (not well, just hard) at V-Ball. Was joined by _metro_, Mike/Cindy, and Matt/wife (name forgotten, it's a wife, will take a few times).
Woke up Friday feeling like I'd been hit by a train, went to work anyway. Sore from V-Ball, Heat Exhaustion, had a breakfast burrito for breakfast, and proceeded to have my intestines hate me until I finally said to hell with it and went home early. I proceeded to hide in the air conditioning the rest of the day and lick my wounds.
Saturday was feeling somewhat better. Went to a BBQ over at Mike's, the musketeers showed up. We played the new Rainbow Six some (ooooh, I WANTS!), some Halo, bummed around in the pool a bit, and *finally* finished a Pinochle game that was on its sixth day (at 2-3 hours each time we sit down with it, that amounts to approximately a 15 hour Pinochle game... to only 500 points!) John had inherited some extra kids for the day, we screwed around in the pool and generally had some fun.
Sat night went out and had some fun at Kereoke, as usual. The gang showed up (yay) instead of the last two times where it's been just me and Franklin for most of the night. I've been trying to sing songs that I've never sung before, and found out I *really* shouldn't sing 'Heart of Rock'n'Roll'... however I can do a pretty good Ghostbusters. :) (I ain't afraid of the host!)
Sunday I fell down and finished recovering so I wouldn't relapse over the week here at work. I can't afford any serious downtime yet, as I'm still taking that shovel and digging myself out of the hole. This paycheck will be the first one I'm back on solid ground with, so I'll start paying back some personal debts too. YAY! Played Morrowind most of the day, almost beat the main quest... then the damn thing started skipping on me. I'll fight with it later tonight to finish it. Also watched 'The Animal'. Was... um... different. New Teen Titans episode too. yaaaay. :) (Hey, I'll admit it, I love the cartoon.)
So today I'm at work, trying to be good and keep my mind only on work... failing, but trying, with 3 smokes left, two bucks in my pocket, $5 in the bank, and hoping Tuesday night shows up a day early (I love direct deposit). :) Think I'm gonna have to raid the change jar when I get home. Me without smokes is bad. Vewy vewy bad. :)
Past that... I'm doing alright. The de-spaggetti-ing of the brain-stem is working, slowly... but workin'. Now if work would stop attempting to get me to use those mind-reading powers I apparently had on my resume, life would be grand. :)
