Monday's Weekend Recap

Another fun weekend. This one just flew by completely! It seemed nonstop since last Friday morning until today.

5:00 p.m. Friday: I made my way to a friend's house to deliver a shelving unit he desperately needed. He's a brilliant computer guy, but his brilliance and love of dogs comes at a vicious price. His place is a mess, there's hardly any room, and there's no one around to clean it. I was happy to set up the shelf and make him some precious table and floor space. He could use a few more shelves.

10:00 p.m. Friday: Made it home after seeing how nice it was to drive and not be a part of the work parade. Traffic was minimal, and I actually did the speed limit without anyone riding my rear bumper. My eyes were fried from being in front of computers all day, though. I quickly cleaned my glasses at a stop light only to discover the blurred vision was due to ocular strain. (That's fancy for tired eyes.)

7:00 a.m. Saturday: Saturday morning came about and I had my new planner laid out on my desk with the list of things I wanted to accomplish. I zoomed down the list, unable to do only a few of the things I'd written down. After I looked at my bank account, it seems I could better spend $20 on fuel and food for the week rather than go see "Mr. & Mrs. Smith".

10:00 a.m. Saturday: Dropped off a big desk, and some other stuff at the GoodWill. The whole drive I kept worrying the tabletop I carried would fly off and go through someone's windshield. Made it there okay, though. Those are some pretty cool people. It's nice to see folks who enjoy their work. Note to self: I hate Saturday traffic, too.

7:00 a.m. Sunday: Sunday morning found me frantically creating two Father's Day cards. I made one for my buddy with the shelves, then I made one for my landlord. They both seemed to like their cards, so the creative frenzy was definitely worthwhile.

2:30 p.m. Sunday: Later that afternoon, I made it to a friend's house for their usual Sunday get-together. It was a great bunch of people, and I got the chance to do their photography after some great burgers and hot dogs. The pictures didn't turn out as good as I hoped because of the last-minute location change. Nonetheless, they seemed to really like them, and I hope to have the photos for them on CD this week.

8:30 p.m. Sunday: I got home feeling tired, and tried to work on my list some more. I have a computer in my garage that I've been trying to network with the other computers, but it's got issues with reading external drives, or logging on to my network. I finally called it quits about an hour later and went to bed.

10:00 p.m. Sunday: I hit "sleep" on the TV, and faded off to the "early" news on Channel 10. I remember some scary mugshots of some lady who'd killed her elderly aunt in Bedford. Sadly, I also remember hearing the news of some kid who'd been killed in a dispute over some girl. News like that makes me understand why we have homosexuality. Worse yet, that's gotta be one helluva Father's Day gift."
"Happy Father's Day, Mr. Smith. And oh yeah, your son was just shot over 'some girl'."
