The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm pretty sure this week is going to be Monday until about noon on Wednesday, when it will start being Friday afternoon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the shock of walking from the toasty bathroom into the cold hallway is harsh. if you leave the door open, the transition isn't so abrupt.

Bundling. Of the gods. Out of the shower into the overlarge terrycloth robe and then once I'm used to that, out into the hallway.

Much health~ma to Grace, and wishes for some undramatic parenting time soon for lori, Kat, and K.

The flu shot I got Friday essentially gave me a faux-flu: all the fatigue and achiness with none of the resperatory symptoms. I fell asleep before the end of SGA Friday night (probably around 9:45 or so), half-woke briefly at the normal time in a fog, and then laid down for a nap that ended up lasting almost until 3 in the afternoon. Washing the rest of my dishes was about the most productive thing I got done all weekend.

Oh, I did complete measurements for my moving floorplan map for the new apartment. Anyone care to give me an objective guage of exactly how ridiculously anal-retentive I'm being about this?

Matt, I did the same thing before moving into my current place, so I can't judge.

Also, love the blast from the past costume pic you have up on flickr.

Ha! I think that may be the most fun Halloween costume I've ever done up in—it was a blast to do the duo costume thing with Kristen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I once made a bad version of that kind of thing with graph paper, so I'm super impressed with it.

What I'm not impressed with is my lack of motivation and achievement at work today. Potentially at 1 o'clock, I'll become really busy, but right now just sitting here staring into space seems like a fine plan.

Me too. I've got files just sitting on computers that I need to grade -- 6 files each, 10 computers -- and I'm leaving right at the end of the day today, and yet I'm just sitting here like a lump on a log.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Please. I spent more hours that I care to admit using Google's SketchUp to draft a 3-D model of The Boy's house, his furniture, and my furniture, so that we can figure out where everything might fit.

Your floorplan map is much better labelled than my 3-D model. I *like* the labels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never used SketchUp. I wonder if you could make a 3-D model of your house and export it to some "first person shooter" game - that way you could practice slaughtering monsters in your house. You could learn things such as where blind spots and the best fields of fire are and whatnot.

There are plenty of games that have level designing software. You could just make your house a level.
