It’s so odd, having a Wednesday off. I mean, I worked a little, but certainly not as much as a regular Wednesday. Consequently, today feels like another Monday. I crashed the Cain Lab’s birthday party for Mollie on Tuesday (happy birthday! yay cake!) and Dr. Cain pointed out that this week was like having two Mondays, a Tuesday and a Friday. That’s probably about right.

Played a little more WoW last night, naturally, and continue to be amazed by this game. There were fireworks in the sky all night last night as well as “festival celebrant” NPCs in all of the major cities who would watch the fireworks and ooo and ahh. There were giant casks of festival ale which you could drink (and it would make your character lightheaded) and toasting goblets (”to your health!”) which would increase your stamina for a half hour or so. Lots of fun.

We spent the late afternoon and early evening at Emma’s folks’ house for their Fourth at Four party. I made deviled eggs for the first time in my life and they seemed to go over well. Emma’s tip of adding a little relish really helped, I think. Plus, we got rid of a dozen eggs from the fridge. That’s like almost a week’s worth! :-D

Work is decent right now. I have nothing much exciting to say about it. Nothing terribly bad, either, which is a nice change. I’ve got a ton and a half of stuff to do but have a plan I’m reasonably happy with and think is feasible. Perhaps not all of it before March, but a significant portion of it can be done by then. I need to get my mouse brain treatments working correctly, but once I do I’m going to be able to fly, I think. The last two have looked pretty good, so I’m feeling encouraged. It’s early in the morning, though, and there’s still plenty of time to have my hopes dashed before I head home this evening. Heh.

My timer’s about to go off, so I should get back to work. Happy second Monday.

PS: If anybody wants to get together this weekend, give me a call or send me an email. Emma’s working essentially all weekend and I don’t necessarily want to spend the entire time playing WoW. I mean, I will, and I’ll enjoy it, but that might not be the healthiest thing for me, eh?
