So what are people doing this weekend?
Tech. I have to go in super early tomorrow because the building closed at 4pm today (WTF?) and I still have to get power to my dimmer packs and focus the lights.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This weekend, I am doing more absolutely nothing. I got up today and tried to work around the house in preparation for having classes tomorrow, but it was a rank failure, so I've canceled tomorrow's classes.
But there's still the memorial service, so I have to decide if I'm healthy enough for that or not. I'm thinking not, but mostly because I don't want to be a huge freaking distraction by horking up a lung during the worship music or something. Blargh.
Otherwise, I'm spending my whole weekend watching my parents' flight status as they progress from Kona to Indiana. Although I just saw it change from not departed to in flight, which will likely be the only excitement for the next five hours.

When flying huge long distances (edit: Atlanta, not NY, to J'burg, S.A. & back) I grew to hate the flight tracker. Look! We're still over a huge expanse of blue! 4 hours later OMG, has it moved at all!
Much better for continental flights, I think.
I've got a haircut appointment tomorrow. That's all that's official. Hey, anyone know a better technique than a roll of paper towels to clean a huge expanse of mildly filthy windows? Cloth towels are too linty and newspaper leaves more film.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've always found newspaper to be the best, sarameg. But I haven't actually cleaned a window in years - I've heard that the new soy-based inks made the wondowcleaning not so effective.
There's always squeegees.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This.
I have several parties to go to this weekend, and I really super double plus need to do laundry.

Wrod. I hate watching the news, and don't much like reading it (as in a newspaper or most online news sites), so mostly rely on a good friend that I work with who is a news junky. With b.org, sometimes I actually know things before him!

I use handi wipes to wash the grime off and paper towels for the final pass.

Sponge, dishcleaning soap, hot water, squeejee.
There's also squirting on some degreasy stuff like Formula 409 before the spongey pass. And buying Very Cheap paper towels for industrial-strength clean up. BTW, the high end towels have chemicals on them that make them soak up water faster, but it will also streak on glass, so buy the cheapy towels for this sort of cleanup.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A squeejee is beyond my commitment to cleaning anything. But this

is an immense help! I always wondered why my paper towels left streaks.
