Stepping into a long weekend
Gentle Readers,
This morning, I'm lying here in bed while Lydia takes advantage of my sunny room to build her new "girl" Lego. The set overall seems pretty cool, but I don't know why they felt it necessary to come up with a new (and incompatible) style of minifig. I'm sure they worked with a focus group.
It's been a surprisingly long and tiring week. I say surprisingly, as I was not expecting to be quite so tired last night, falling asleep before 10. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I guess there were a number of draining aspects to the week, from working on a really tedious product re-branding to getting sucked in to a stupid internet argument. I'm really amazed that person in question managed a reinterpretation of history (history in which I was explicitly involved) that actually upset me.
After having met the ultimate troll while I was in university, a man who had the almost magical ability to deride something very important to you on your first meeting with him, I should not be surprised in the ability of a troll to aggravate.
Lydia has some plans today to go and hang out with one of her favourite big people while Cortejo and I go do some stuff that would likely bore her to tears.
Tomorrow we are going to Kingston for the Greyfells practice and also brunch.
Sunday should be a day for sewing.
I'm hoping we will be rejuvenated. Odds are good.
