Hangover

I have continued to feel very tired since the weekend.  Last night I was in the shower by 8:30 and out like a light before 9 pm.  I can only assume it is a hangover from the high activity/low sleep weekend.

Ali is finally emerging from what has been a several month tunnel of oppressive work duties.  She is very excited about it.  Maybe she can finally get back some semblance of a schedule similar to what we imagined when she first started contracting.

I have a bunch of projects on the burner at work which will keep me busy for awhile.  They  include replacing all of our network backbone switches, installing a new domain controller, reconnecting our entire NOC to the brand new CAT 6 wiring we had dropped in and cleaning up our two cabinets of rack servers. Unfortunately a lot of it is the type of work that has to be performed on a weekend.

Ali ordered 6 or 7 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from my nieces.  They arrived yesterday. After dinner I asked her if she minded if I had some of them which of course Ali agreed to.  After surveying the selection, I told Ali no thanks, I didn’t really like any of what she picked out.  Ali was somewhat offended that I didn’t like her choices which included uninspired flavors like shortbread, lemon and something that looked like a muddy nickel.

I mean geez, if you are going to order 7 boxes of cookies maybe you could have at least asked me what flavors I liked?  I wound up  having a few of the one variety of cookie that Ali ordered that is marginally good, peanut butter.
