Thursday
One more day till we get the keys to the house.
And the weekend, too.

Today was a… “mixed”… day. On the whole, it wasn’t bad. But, I’m feeling a little… on edge/irritated. I think that it’s at least partly due to trying to figure out some technical problems earlier. But I am not sure that was all. *shrug* On the “plus” side, I talked with the parental units earlier.

The call to my mother was precipitated by a chat with a friend of mine last night; he wanted me to take a look at a drill that he wrote for his band. I did and it was good. He also informed me that my stepfather was offered – and accepted – a principalship at another school.

So… I called Mom to confirm it. It’s true. Verra cool.
