I rode my bicycle to work this morning. It is locked up about 15 floors below me. From home to the office (including parking) is about 6 miles.

How do I feel? I'll tell you once I ride home.

Yep, rugging is every bit as painful as I remember.  Eight hours yesterday and two today.  One room left and some metals (thresholds).  No knife wounds, but I have some carpet-burned knuckles.  4 rooms complete!  One easy bedroom, another easy bedroom with a closet, a more difficult bedroom with closet and entry, and a landing "L" shape (which is ( Read more... )

BGFE mle292 and I (with a little help from TehDae) made spanakopita for dinner tonight. We found a recipe on the net and cooked it. We also had bananas and mandarin oranges with our dinner. It was very good. I hope it heats up well, since mle292 and I are going to have it in our lunches tomorrow.

Fed return posted yesterday, 3 biz days before it was scheduled.
CC = 0.

Deep breath. Ahhhh. Feels good. I am once again debt free, aside from the mortgage.

It is almost cold enough outside to run superconductivity experiments, but that must make the Department of Revenue computers run faster - they posted my return yesterday.  It took all of 7 business days since e-filing to get it into my checking account.  After the Fed return posts, I will 0 out my credit card for the first time since... well, at ( Read more... )

Friday night - caught the early bus home, read email and headed out with jschmidt and S for Indian food followed by Deadwood and Night Watch. Deadwood is a very good HBO series. Night Watch is a fun Russian "World of Darkness" movie. BGFE mle292 took TehDae to Saxophone lessons and then they had dinner and watched some TV ( Read more... )
