I am *so* tired of being sick. This has now been going on for over a month. Every time I think I'm better I go off and do my normal level of overdoing it, and then end up losing my voice, *again*. Bah humbug. I'm done with it.

Other than the endless illness life is pretty good.

Sometimes I hate being an adult. Today I want to go back to not having all these pesky responsibilities. I don't want to do the right thing. I want to do the wrong thing, because it will be great fun. But instead I will do what I think is right. I will take care of things. I won't run away. But I might whine about it.

Friends are good.
Relationships are complicated.
Sleep is, apparently, overrated.
Cats are snuggly.
The house smells of gasoline.

I made some progress, but I still have quite a bit to do on the vans ( Read more... )

Embarrassment of each of the guys has been accomplished at least once. Last night we had alcoholic coffee and blueberry pie while we all sat around discussing foreign relations and telling ( Read more... )

We arrived at the lake a bit after 3. Everyone else was already here, and after greetings were exchanged we started to plan for the week's meals. Mark, Ping, and I ended up mostly taking over that task, and after figuring out what all we were going to make we conscripted Chris and Jeff into accompanying us to the grocery store ( Read more... )

Tuesday we had leftovers for breakfast (around 11:30). This consisted of noodles with vegetables and fried rice. It was quite tasty, but it's not exactly what I usually think of as breakfast food. After breakfast we headed out for a walk in the park ( Read more... )

I got back to California today. Most of my day was spent in various airports and on planes. Not very exciting. One of the few things I could write about is the horrible children that sat in front of me on the last plane home. But I won't ( Read more... )
