Slow to update

I've thought about several things to post to the blog, and just haven't quite made it here yet. And I really could start being more interesting, especially since I purchased one of these and can now post stuff like this.



Of course, that took 3 tries and 10 minutes, which helps explain why these posts are so infrequent. They're like precious gold, folks - treasure 'em.



Anyway, I had a great week in Florida visiting my fabulous and lovely friend J.N. the A.P., and met spent some time with her boys up on the coast. The trip was somewhat marred by those bastards at American Airlines, who do not deal well with scheduling changes and held my suitcase hostage for four days. I hate them. I really hate them. But to make up for that, I will list five things that were great about the trip - Seeing J.N., snorkelling, key lime pie, ordering empanadas with hog plums (sounds scary, tastes yummy, and thank God I think they were actually plums as in fruit and not something else), and playing with the little N's.


I've been put on a trial team at work, which means I'll be putting in longer hours. Perhaps ludicrous hours, but I kinda hope not. Because I'm feeling old and tired. Eager to make some money in the short term, but concerned about actually passing out in the office and of coming home to decide I don't really care if my laundry stays on the armchair in my living room for a month. Worse things could happen. At least it's clean laundry. For now.
