Just got an email from Stanzi, who’s in Hawaii. I’m jealous, even though sun n’ sand destinations aren’t exactly my cup of tea. It’s grey and overcast here, and I’m at work.

Oh well; six weeks ago I was traipsing about Europe, so I guess I can’t complain too much. I just miss her is all. T-Bone too.

I’m quite excited about this weekend: my wife’s going camping with friends, which means I get the place all to myself until Sunday night. Don’t get me wrong; I love my wife. But I’m one of those people that needs isolation occasionally. It’s not even like I’ll be doing anything fun — I have to work on a school assignment, clean the pigsty, and run all the usual errands, etc. — but being alone (not counting the two furry terrors) to recharge is always nice.

Man…getting frantic emails/IMs from a brother about your mother being in the hospital while you’re listening to a voicemail from a friend who’s clearly upset after the horrific 16 weeks she’s just spent on a murder trial…that shit’ll take years off your life.
