Well, after an early morning text conversation with The Wall, I still hold hopes for another Pano weekend in my near future. Otherwise, this will start looking like my winter of discontent.
But then.. I might just be feelin' a little grumpy, given how craptastic I feel today. I believe there will be a battle against Tummy Turmoil throughout the day, and if I survive, a victory stretch out on Camp Couch later today. Of course, a handful of vitamins as breakfast in a dodgy stomach could have something to do with it.
Hopefully my work day is smoother today than yesterday, and thus allowing me some remnants of brain function at the end of the day in order to possible toss in a little studying.. but looking through the workload threatening to pwn me today, I suspect it's unlikely.
Tomorrow, I'm thinkin' of wandering over to a little pub near Iron Kite to hang out with him and Huushi QotGz. But tonight, I suspect it'll be all about the heating pad. I'm already wondering if my notion of making my grilled chicken and proscuitto with hollandaise was a little overambitious.
So... here's hopin' I feel better in the next two minutes before my shift starts...

Got a little studying done last night.. Did a bit while I was working though.. <cackle> Let's hear it for lax Sunday shifts where there's nothing left to do for hours but get my personal crap taken care of! w00t w00t!
Still researching the blog's upcoming transformation.. Deciding if I want to completely scrap Corrupted Cauldron and start over from scratch with something new, with a new format, layout, graphics, etc.. and start rebuilding.. or if I want to revamp the site, keep the domain, and carry over 500 MB and 10 years worth of HTML and blogging towards a new location, completely outside the realm of Blogger.. Iron Kite suggested Wordpress, so I'm just waiting to hear from my host as to whether or not he supports it.. That might be somewhat limiting with options, so.. might as well find out if it's an option before I go considering it.. The problem is, if I need to start over... finding a new domain name.. Hmm..
But... my shift starts in 3 minutes.. and as soon as I'm off duty I'm zipping under a quick shower since it's the only opportunity I have to get cleaned up today, with my broker coming by later this evening, hopefully with some utterly fantastic and awesome solutions for some financial strains I'm expecting this summer..
Then, if I have a reasonable amount of time left to the evening.. more studying. This language isn't going to learn itself. (Even it thinks it's really hard!) Yep.. party animal, that's me.
Plus, I'm all about keeping things cheap lately. Sure, I have the new roomie, The MacK, but as awesome as he is.. he seems to think that 'utilities are included' means that 'utilities are free, so there should be no issue with leaving my window open all day', which for my bill statements, kind of sucks. I realize it's not his problem that I have expensive things on the budget for this summer, but when you work from home, cold is certainly noticeable.
Yeah, something seems to have taken a bit of a wrong turn there.. Man, do I ever miss Cisco Villain. I'm trying not to compare the two, because everyone lives differently, but.. yeah.. something went sideways there..
Anyway.. time to get my work on..

Well, not a lot of studying really took place this weekend after all.. There was a lot of socializing that took priority. Catching up on other pressing needs, and spending quality time with people I haven't been seeing too often lately.. Not to mention the research associated with the upcoming shift to the blog..
Hopefully my shift today continues to be so chill and mellow that I can listen to the Flames game, and then study while I'm holding down the sleepy fort at the office.. Fingers crossed, because I really need to get my study on here.
Because only once I've made time to hit the books, can I allow myself time to read for fun.. and as soon as I finish the book I'm on.. I can start Jade Mouse, the newest book by Aaron Kite..
But.. email beckon, hockey is on the radio, and there's all kinds of time-sensitive reporting to be done.. best to get it out of the way now so I can get my study on after the game.. <cackle>

They haven't forced my hand into changing or demolishing the blog yet.. but it's due soon.. I'm not sure which I'd prefer, really.. I guess at this point, I'd just prefer knowing when.
Had good times catching up and hanging out with Letheybeans last night.. of course, getting my second (hundredth) wind before she arrived was timely, and unfortunate when considering concepts like.. sleep.
So my plan for today is relatively simple. Work out, clean the house as thoroughly and quickly as possible, shower and grab groceries.. and spend what's left of my weekend catching up on my studies. I'm on call tomorrow, so making plans is pretty bleak.. I hate making plans with caveats.. Even if it's my job and completely understandable, I feel like I'm saying "Sure, I'll hang out with you unless something better comes up." And I have sorely neglected my studies lately. Cripes. I've got to get on that.
But.. speaking of things I need to get on.. my gym clothes are mocking me from the bedroom.. Time to get 'em on and get 'er done.

Ahh.. was good to see Cisco Villain last night.. Although briefly. I'd feel bad about ditching him if he didn't know me as well as he does.. <cackle> But really.. who'd live with me for 3.5 years, see first hand how much I love my Flames.. and then not be accommodating when I get a phone call offering me a free 7th row ticket for the game that starts in an hour.
So it was good to see Jephistopheles last night too! And in typical Me fashion, I made a new friend.. So the three of us had a blast.. the only thing that could have made that night better was if the Flames had actually shown up..
But staying up late last night catching up with Jephistopheles, and then deciding to just check my emails quickly before going to sleep.
<facepalm> Almost 3 hours later... you'd think I'd know better.
So I'm a pretty tired monkey today. Good thing I have a pretty lax workday today for a change.. and a visit with the jubilant Letheybeans to look forward to this evening.
Although the new roomie's backup cell going off every 6 seconds (plenty of opportunities to count) isn't exactly helping me start off the day in a good mood despite the lack of sleep. There could be a bodycount. Seriously.
