After this crazy past week today was a normal day. The roads were in much better shape and if you set aside the snow mounds that impair visibility at most intersections and a few snow/ice/slush patches. It was kinda nice to sit down at my desk, with all the little things of the regular work routine, and the accessories that make everything smoother: Second monitor, full sized keyboard and ergonomic mouse, telephone with headset, and last but not least all the friends that make the day go by faster and their brains to pick and help get issues resolved.
At lunch, rather than getting lunch with the crew, I went to buy an extra shovel and some ice melt (weather forecast does say more snow Monday night :( and we are running low on supplies). A quiet afternoon followed, nothing on fire, the case load on low, a good friday except we were all stiff and sore from all the shoveling. Mind you, we lack mechanical snow removal equipment since this area only gets 15-20 inches per winter. After an uneventful commute back home, time for some more digging. Weekend is laundry time, so to use the dryer I need to dig out the dryer vent. Murpf ! But I have 2 load out of the way already.. 3 more to go.
Now enjoying the olympic games opening ceremony, while chatting on IM with a Canadian friend. It's very beautiful, very serene with just enough zing to keep me awake. Exactly what I need tonight.This poor body needs some rest. This poor brain needs some rest too. I need to make time to treat myself with a bubble bath (sans kid for a change).
So here are the final plans for the weekend: laundry, taxes, a bit of cleaning, a lot of sleep and a whole lot of not much.
