just realized I hadn't posted in a while
Not much is going on really. Just working, going to the gym, doing mundane things.
Work is going okay I guess. There are ups and downs. I am getting use to the new location, and enjoying the shorter commute. I got HR to loosen the light bulbs above my desk Friday, which is awesome. I don't have to sit directly under three incredibly bright fluorescent bulbs anymore. And I finally got a webcam at work, which is a huge help working with the developers located on the other side of the country. So things are a little better, but still bumpy with trying to figure out how to work remotely.
Finally got back to the yard work this weekend, taking advantage of what is probably that last weekend that won't be 90 degrees. Although, today was pretty damned close. We ripped up all the landscaping paper, since it was old and worn out. It looked like it had been put down ten years ago when the house was built. That was a pain in the ass and I hope I never have to do it again. After all that we tilled up the ground as best we could and finally planted our roses. Hopefully they won't die. Now we still have to put down new paper, mulch, add some kind of border, and then put sod down so we can make the bed smaller. Sigh. It seems like it will never end. The desire to get it completed has been renewed though, hopefully the weather will allow us to complete it this week.
Exciting times, eh?
The gym thing... I am getting a little better at going. Made it there three times last week for personal training sessions followed by cardio work outs. This week I am supposed to go in the morning rather than after work... should be interesting, especially considering what a morning person I am.
