Happy Friday

[da]

As I write, melted_snowball is sitting laying a-bed [1] on an airplane enroute to Amsterdam; he's gone 'till next Friday. In the morning, roverthedog and I are enroute to the exciting metropolis of Watertown, NY, for dinner with my parents, then to their 2nd house, 45 minutes further away. I'm looking forward to seeing them, and I hope I can be useful helping them reduce clutter as they slowly work their way towards moving into the Watertown house.

I'm wiped out from my week. Monday was a civic holiday, which we took to drive to the beach in Goderich on Lake Huron. The rest of the week sort of flew past. Even though I mostly got enough hours of sleep, I tended to feel un-rested in the mornings. I hope that trend is over.

I had other things I was going to say, but they have evaporated. Perhaps in the morning they will have re-coalesced.

[1] d. sent me a text-message that his upgrade to first-class was successful. Which means hopefully he'll be well-rested when he gets to Amsterdam. There's a parade to go see, after all. ...Yeah. Nice job if you can get it; his conference in Holland just happens to be at the same time as Gay Pride. ;)

It was great to see you! The long weekend did me in, although it was quite successful. It took most of Monday and Tuesday to get somewhat normal, and sleep has been elusive since then. I'm supposed to be working on jewelry commissions but I needed a break.

Jason is gigging most (all?) weekends in August. I'm still slated for Slovakia, but now it's two weeks in September (I get to stay over, so I may go to Vienna for a day if it's feasible), and that means I will miss my next two jewelry events. However, I'll pick the lesser of two weevils and get paid (mostly) to see part of Europe.

Now the hunt is on to find more jewelry/craft shows and get my butt in gear to switch to more wire/metal-work.

Work is still mind-numbing, and one of my colleagues is not yet quick enough to multi-task, so there's still a burden on me to carry part of his intended projects.

I was pretty wiped all week as well, in part because my sleep wasn't very restful. The break in the weather to cool, dryish nights is almost as kickass as my new jikatabi shoes.

Hope the clutter reduction goes well.

Maybe I'll get a big enough tuit to blog something over the weekend.
