Back to reality
My first weekend back after Vegas was back to normal, meaning I busted my ass. On Saturday I worked on a list at least half a dozen items long. After that was done we worked on this months cleaning project. Ali made a list awhile ago of rooms and months we would do a thorough cleaning on them. April was kitchen month. This was the last weekend we had available to do it so we cleaned it but didn’t start till 5pm Saturday. We grumpily finished around 8 at night, both feeling very sick of the process. Sunday morning just for good measure I cleaned the bird cage, swept and mopped the kitchen and utility room floors, dusted, swept the house and cleaned out the inside of the party van in preparation for Ali taking it to Orlando for her family next Saturday. Was I really on the Vegas strip only a week ago? These sort of weekends make me think of how simple life could be in a condo. Of course there are a lot of things you give up in condo living as well.
Sometime on Saturday I started seeing a small black dot in my vision. In floats around in my field of vision sort of following whatever I am looking at. It hasn’t gone away although now it is a bit lighter and fuzzier than it was at first.
We picked up a new color laser printer this weekend for the office, an HP 2600N. It was very cheap but came with a built in network card and does a fine job of printing. I am going to try to sell the old Magicolor 2200 (that needs a new OPC drum) cheap in the paper. I also finally bought a replacement for our frustrating digitial camera. Our old one is a Canon that for some reason has a hell of a time focusing. It requires for you to sometimes sit there 15-20 seconds while it decides what to focus on. I am getting a Nikon Coolpix S4. It is sweet because it is a 6 megapixel compact digital camera but it has a 10x optical zoom.
In my other reality, World of Warcraft, I now have four level 60 characters. In addition I have three more characters I am working on leveling. I have a human mage, night elf hunter and night elf druid that need to be leveled to 60. Once that happens I think I will be done creating new characters. However there is an expansion pack on the horizon, once that hits there will be an entire new world to explore. Just when I thought I had a chance to escape…. Yesterday I paid someone 30 silver to show me how to get on top of the gates at Stormwind City. It was well worth the price as I stood up there and made a spectacle at the ants beneath me, all wondering how I got up there.
