My wonderful sister came over today and we cleaned the house – and I mean cleaned the house. My nose still burns a bit from the bleach we used to kill the mildew in the bathrooms. Then we went to the mall, bought some stuff to organize the house, finished getting my contact fitting, came home and pulled weeds for at least two hours in the rain. (Plantnerd, the weed whalloping widget worked wonders!) Then it was off to my favorite cajun place for dinner, and a trip to my folks’ house to return the kid. Now I’m home, a little bit of class work to do if I can stay conscious.

One day left of my vacation. I suspect I shall fill it with nothing. I like that idea.

Some missions accomplished.

Tasks accomplished:

  • Bills are paid.
  • I confirmed that the property taxes are paid.
  • I have a comic buffer for the first time in weeks – two whole comics, but it’s better than no whole comics.
  • Eye appointments are finished (except a contact fitting tomorrow (*cough* today))
  • Car appointments are set.
  • I’ve successfully worked out on the elliptical trainer for at least 20 minutes the last 3 days straight.

Still have some important stuff to do tomorrow, like clean the house and find my garden under all the weeds, but all things considered I think it’s been a fairly productive vacation week.

In two days I go back to work. Sunday I have to work on class stuff. These are things I think I will worry about later. Right now is sleep.

Balance

You’ll have to excuse me – I’m a little behind in my movie watching. Tonight we watched The Matrix (all three), and today was the first time I had seen Revolutions.

Revolutions brought balance – the combination/destruction of the yin and yang of Smith and Neo. Without that balance, there can be no peace. I heard numerous complaints about the film prior to seeing it (in fact, most folks recommended against it), but I have to say I disagree. I couldn’t choose a better ending.

Now for some dinner – and a massive dose of tylenol while my eyes try focusing properly again.

July 27th cannot come fast enough.

COMMENCE WHINING:
I’m up to my eyeballs in Javascript and PHP and MySQL on only six hours of sleep during my vacation!. Had Hershey’s chocolate and a cherry Coke for breakfast, which have kept the headaches at bay. Need to work on the yard, clean the house, etc. etc. etc. I could use a vacation from my vacation.

I have 15 days until this class – and my degree – are complete. I cannot wait.
WHINING COMPLETE (for now).
