Feet up, watching cartoons. A few weeks of this & I'll feel swell.

Too tired to say anything interesting, not tired enough to say anything interesting. The golden mean.

Feeling better all the time about others not having much of any idea what I think about anything no matter how much I say about it. Enjoying the pretty pictures, such as they are.

Work today involved, among other things, a drive to Orange, CT to recover some data, which, in the end, proved more or less useless. Nice enough day for a drive, I suppose, enjoyed looking at Long Island Sound, however briefly.

Left early as I missed lunch, took neglected pup for a much needed walk, about to go restock on kibble & treats.

Could use something to eat myself.

Last night, brought ps2, video projector over to the H & O for after hours Singstar party. Pretty damn amusing.

Slept in a bit, no time to get morning routine accomplished properly, argh.

Work voicemail chaos continues, not really my problem, people seem very interested in making it my problem.

Having some more coffee.

First day I could really smell the apple blossoms walking home for lunch, turtledove hopping around the driveway, took P. out into the woods, got covered in mosquitos, ducks leaping from tree to tree, old black crow looking on.

More involvement with workstations this morning than is usual for me, quite the time sink, mostly because they have people attached.

Baking a frozen pizza.

Going to Towel City, 'cause it's two for one.

Enjoy a nice, fresh towel.

New work commute delayed by traffic snarl, told it was an accident on 91, came most of the way by 5/10.

Dreaming of a tasty lunch.

Another free soup & game night, always very pleasant. Watching celebrity Family Feud, french bread pizzas are baking.

Feeling guilty about not talking the pup on enough long walks, wonky foot, ick.

Poor Peretz.

Things at work falling apart around the edges, tired of it, free advice, if you run a good-sized business, replace your computer equipment from time to time.

Spent the part of my lunch break not spent walking dog loading heavy boxes into car, one less thing to do later.

Had a grape soda, still feeling shaky.

Too nice outside to be here, maybe I'll leave.

Strangely, turned out that Revenge of the Sith was on TV last night, hadn't seen that, watched it, sort of dreadful & pointless, characters have no charm, make no sense. Oh, well, another childhood pleasure well & truly shat upon.

Room's all painted, time to get serious about moving, ai ai ai.

Dog wants out, wants to chase the cat, wants attention, wound up little ball of desire, like most of us.

Went & got, ate raspberry cheese danish, applied another layer of paint, waiting for that to dry, about to watch Return of the Jedi.

Still hungry.

Fell asleep with dogs again, therefore managed to sleep in.

Still pretty cold.

Room painting is progressing well. Not much on the agenda today besides more of that & dog care, a welcome change.

Busy, busy.

Took broken chairs to dump, went & bought painting supplies, applied layer of primer to future bedroom with L.'s extremely welcome assistance, drove to Easthampton to attend retirement picnic for two very long term employees, lovely dessert bars, a bit chilly.

Back to Northampton to do weekend work, that's all done, going to Hadley shortly to check out fabric clearance.

Tiring, paint flecks on hands, glasses, etc.

After a long time threatening to, finally broke down & took a brief nap.

Woken by Peretz wanting out, took him, now enjoying a glass of root beer.

Mmm, pie.

Thanks, sweetie.

Another chilly morning, feeling creaky.

Working up the energy to shower.

Running over moving-related tasks, seems daunting, will be fine.

Went over to radio station & provided quick & easy solution to their problem. Quick & easy solutions mean I get to be asleep by my bedtime, fond of quick & easy solutions.

Night, night.

Decided that I didn't have enough to do, so dropped in at after work going away party for coworker. Depressing as always, in ways hard to describe, really.

Got a slice of pizza on my walk home.

Should probably be napping, spacing out instead.

Went & got that burrito, even better than I'd hoped.

Too much to do over the next several days, trying to figure out how to arrange it all pleasantly.

Should probably have a soda & think it over.

Desire for a burrito is becoming somewhat desperate, should perhaps, at some point, head into town & buy one. Seems challenging.

Could use a nap to go with that burrito.

Workers of the world unite & all that.

Feet are very cold, just put on sandals. Coffee's brewing.

Neil's thing in Turner's last night was the first event I've been to in a long time where highly abrasive music was played to people unprepared for it, last time that happened, I think I was the one making the noise, funny to watch. Nice chats with many people about moving, music, putting music on Internet, the importance of having an up-to-date dictionary, etc.

Need to go do some uncompensated computer work late tonight, not sure why I agree to these things, if my sleepiness as of eleven or so last night is any indication of things to come, I really shouldn't've.

Peretz is standing in a sunny spot, wants out, I think.
