just breathe...

Ah, what a lovely evening this has been.

This is the first night, I think, that I feel hasn't been crazy busy with the move/unpacking, or full of social obligations. It's been soooo nice.

I got off work at 4:30 (I'm still loving this lack of overtime thing), and stopped at home hardware to pick up a few things, and was home at 5:30 - just 15 minutes before Andrew. I made salad rolls for dinner, and afterwards we made a list of chores to complete before relaxing this evening. There were just so many little things we hadn't gotten to, that weren't going to take very long singly, but which we still hadn't done.

We had a VERY productive 1 1/2 hours. :D :D :D The place looks great, and lunches are made for tomorrow.

Now we get to do whatever we want for the rest of the evening, which is lovely. I'm catching up on emails, Andrew is reading in the bath, we'll stretch later tonight... life is good. We still have chores to do tomorrow and later on, but we're going to continue doing it this way - a few hours of work, the rest of the night of play...

I feel like tonight was the turning point in the craze. From now on we're going to get to really enjoy our new space and all it's perks. Does that make sense?

In other news, I'm in a foozball tournament at work. My team has played 2 games, and we're tied for 1st. I'm so damn competitive, I want to win! Heh.

I have a lot of introspection in me, that I haven't had a chance to get out lately. I hope to be able to do so in the next little while.

I had two crazy bad dreams last night. In one, I was being executed, but everything they tried didn't work. They tried electrocution, boiling water, poison (TWICE), and they had a list of things to try afterwards...

In another, a bad psychotherapist guy had tried to erase all my memory, and some friends were trying to get me to remember quickly so I could fight him off. (Although I did remember in time, and once I remembered, I was flush with the knowledge that I was stronger than he, and wouldn't have any problems fighting him off).

I got the sweetest picture card from Lynn and Melody the other day. Thank you, my darling girls! I've decided to put a shrine up to friends and loved ones in the workout room/office, and that is definitely going up on the wall.

a few hours of work, the rest of the night of play...

That is exactly what I'd *like* to do. But by the time I get Siobhan in bed it's around 8:00 and I don't feel like doing anything but having a glass of wine and a smoke. Heh. And it's hard to get anything done when she's up, but I do enjoy her company. :)

Anyway, good for you! I'm glad you're at the turning point of the crazies. I know EXACTLY what you mean.

I placed 2nd in a fooz contest at my work. They randomly selected the teams so there would be domineering teams. It was cool!

[freakykitten.livejournal.com]

yes, our team was randomly selected too! I have a great partner though. And I never played foozball before working here (I don't know why), so I'm learning a lot. It's a lot of fun.

:) This just sounds so lovely! I'm very happy for you! (and foozball rocks!)

Wow, maybe you are Rasputin re-incarnate.
