The New Floodgates of the Mind

and the moon is bright… and I’m sitting at my desk… working? sheesh.

One nice thing about tonight: it was really great to be able to walk downtown in my running shoes 🙂

Hey, Marc! Guess what “Stat-Month bug” I ran into THIS time? PIN/Clue. I think the db went offline for its nightly backup at the point in time when I was just finishing up the 30 minute import. Had to restore the mdb from our shared and re-import again. sigh. Never fails 🙂

I polished off a cup of coffee faster than ever. Considering how tired I am, that’s not a good thing. Still, I’ve got a few more hours here so I may as well ensure I’m fully caffeinated…

For the record. I used to love vacuuming. Used to. I ain’t that keen on it any more. bah. Work before pleasure. Now that it’s done, the kids and I can have lunch and then go out and play! Snow/Nerf football comes to mind 🙂 Have you seen the sun outside? Weee! :>

(this, by the way, does not take away from the fact that I’m still going into work later tonight for a small “night shift”. I think once today is over, I’ll be able to more easily put “work” aside in my mind and concentrate on enjoying the week off)

Canadian, of course (even in space!) 🙂 Thanks for the link, Janet 🙂

And now, with morning “wake-up” time over, it’s on to the cleaning! March break means I’m not working and the kids are with me, but that doesn’t automatically make the dust go away or the clothes wash themselves! 🙂 Back later!

Hey Francisco! Wanna rumble? 🙂

Gonna bang you like it’s your Birthday! uh-huh! 🙂

I waited until the end of the day to post this, but I’ve been celebrating for over a week now 🙂 Chantale, my dearly beloved, turned 6 years old today! 🙂 Married to a six year old? Imagine that! :> If anyone in town was listening to CHOM at around 11:25am, you would have heard my birthday greeting to Chantale 🙂 Strangely enough the announcer actually seemed shocked that she was married at 24 🙂

Anyhow, we did plenty of celebrating this weekend, starting with a chocolate fondue on Friday night, a day trip to Ottawa for a shopping spree at Old Navy (what an incredible store!) on Saturday, to an incredible Chinese supper with the in-laws on Saturday night, to ice-cream birthday cake and more gifts today 🙂

It’s been an amazing weekend, to say the least 🙂 And now, we’re just chilling in front of the tv in the basement, watching the Oscars. Yup, we’ve got the television working and reception is perfect on CTV 🙂

Yup, I’m feeling wired this morning. Went to bed at around 11:30pm last night after spending some time unwinding and reading comics. This morning, I was startled awake when I realized that we had once again lost power momentarily thus my alarm clock was flashing (yes, Marc, I forgot to put a bloody battery backup in it!). Luckily, it was 6:50am so I just reset it and got up.

Got in to work at a decent time, slowly drinking my hazlenut coffee. Ever since I finally bought myself a coffee thermos, I’ve been making coffee in the morning and taking it with me to work. Even with the cold outside, my coffee’s still nice and hot by the time I get to work. Helps with the “tickling” throat. So, add the two-cup size coffee to the fact it’s the friday before march break, and you’ve got a pretty wired Mikey. Work is simply flying by this morning although I’ve done so much (and in the process actually added more items to my “to-do” list) that it has to fall into the ‘success’ pile.

*sigh* I’ve got stuff to do outside, too, and just have to get to it. One important thing is my train pass… even over $90 and not using it for one week, it still comes out cheaper than buying tickets… bizarre but true.

Thursday night 10pm and you want to know how I’m feeling? Easy. Feel like getting trashed. Put me into a haze so I can forget today and maybe get some sleep. Hopefully without dreams.

11 nights in a row, still working out. I’m starting to enjoy rubbing my own chest. 🙂

Fuck I hate feeling like this. I really have to invest in a kicking bag. Sometimes I have so much in me that just pumping iron doesn’t help get it out. sigh.

Nights like this I really miss The Savage Land BBS…

i may be coming down with something.

feverish dreams (really fucked up feverish dreams!), waking up with a sore throat, and now sitting at work with the sweats must add up to something…

bleah.
