The kids got a Kinect and I got in on some of that action &#8211; fun stuff.  The sleeper sofa was&#8230; miserable, but I got though it.  The drive there and back wasn&#8217;t too bad &#8211; my room-mate is still recovering from the surgery and I did all the driving.  For the record, though &#8211; he&#8217;s a side seat driver.  I figured he would be in charge of the money for the tolls (fail) and navigation.    Instead, he commandeered the radio and we listened to 70&#8217;s music the whole trip.  Ugh.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>After a week of doing pretty much nothing, I went stir crazy and cleaned up the office at home.  (this was after an episode of Hoarders)   and then I started on my building a desk-out-of-a-door project.  I spent a lot of time on the legs and got them looking great &#8211; then realized they are too long &#8211; making the desk too tall.  Oh well, it&#8217;s fixable &#8211; though a lot of work.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I met up with my co-worker and his family for lunch at Chiptole.  Their little one had a spectacular diaper blowout &#8211; but otherwise it was a nice time.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This past weekend I went to see my parents, my sister, and her family.  We had a good time, played some UNO and hung out with my super awesome niece.  She&#8217;s crawling up a storm, starting to walk, and a great pile of fun.    They&#8217;ll be visiting me for my upcoming birthday soon and then I&#8217;ll be headed back there for my niece&#8217;s birthday in a couple weeks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So, I&#8217;m back to work today and trying to get back into the swing of things &#8211; and getting back to the pool again after a break.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/6913097901389264887-3513034535463050641?l=thunderofwade.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s back to work for me &#8211; feels a little weird after so much time off.
