Oddball Update

This morning, the first roofing contractor I’d called arrived to draw up a free estimate.

I was going to title this post “I’m Doing Science and I’m Still Alive,” after a line from the end credits song for Portal.

We’re back from Orlando, and I’m back to work. It was a great few days off, everything went swimmingly (with a minor exception or two) and I’m feeling envigorated and ready to tackle some new tasks at work.

So on Monday night, I came down with that disgusting flu thing that’s going around. And while I’m doing a little bit better today, I still feel like I was hit by a truck.
This year’s flu is really, really nasty.

My mom recently remarked that this past week was one where anything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I definitely understand what that’s like. Ironically, I was having the same kind of a week myself.

Happy belated Thanksgiving!
Alas, it seems I’ve left you all hanging. Again.

In the last few days, my crushing burden of side work has largely fallen away. In fact, this whole week has wound up being less hectic, more manageable, yet productive at the same time.
