Monday : 10 October 05
Today was the epitome of what a “vacation day” should be. For the most part, that is. I slept in. I didn’t do a whole lot. And that’s just fine by me. There was a slight return to yesterday’s “blah” feeling this evening… but it didn’t last terribly long. I consider that a good thing. I hope to shrug off this malaise by getting out of the valley and out of Utah for a few days.

I did do something work-related. Kind of. In a round-about way. I went down to what will be my new office building with this afternoon. I wanted to stake out my territory. There’s a… 95% (or better) chance that my team will be moving into this building before I get back. Thus, I wanted to select my workstation before I left. *shrug* It’s the little things that make me smile.

Other than that, I haven’t really done much that would be considered “productive.” Again, it’s that whole “vacation” thing rearing its head.

Thanks to and for bringing over the new (or at least “new to me”) sofa this afternoon. And, thanks again to for keeping an eye on the kids while , , , , Young Mr. Sebastian, and . We went to Thai Garden. The food was tasty, but mine wasn’t exactly what I had expected. I had the Pad Ram with beef. I knew that it was served with a peanut sauce. What I did not know was that the sauce was a lot closer to peanut butter than I had anticipated. Again, it wasn’t bad; it just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Home to do laundry, fold laundry, and get things packed (or at least closer to the suitcase) for the Fall 2005 California Adventure. There was a plethoric buttload of laundry to be sorted and folded. That was fine. Can’t go rolling up into the Magic Kingdom with dirty drawers. That’s just not right. So, things were washed. And dried. And folded or hung. And life was good.

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to be upbeat about dying? To call today and tonight’s adventures “high-flying” is being very generous. I think that I spent more time waiting for someone to resurrect my character – or going to the hospital – than I did actually playing. All right, that’s a bit of an overstatement, but I did die a lot today. I’m Ivory Soap sure that if I hadn’t died quite so many times that I would be at Security Level 25 at this point. As it stands, I’m about 8,000 points from it. Oh, well… that gives me something to look forward to doing when I get back.

Coda
I don’t know if I’ll be posting anything while I’m hanging with the Mouse. We’ll see how that goes. Either way, I’ll be back in a week. Try not to break too much stuff – or each other – while I’m gone.

Namaste.
