Almost Sunday! 
I really have no clue what happened in the past but all I had to read was that last sentence. Be careful.

my six day, 55 hour week has come to an end.
well this one.
next one starts on monday at 6am.
certainly the last thing i expected, or really needed was to be contacted by my ex for the first time since i asked her to stop contacting me four years ago. to be honest, i'm not sure what to do about it.

i guess the amount of sleep i get over the next who knows will be determined by when the chicago public school teachers are no longer on strike.
they are literally picketing right outside my building and since 7am there has been nothing but car honking and cheering.
now they have drums.
this does not bode well for someone who works nights and sleeps until...

I understand the strike but I think the union is bogus with what it wants and why.

Where about did you eventually end up? I can't wait to make it back to the city. Buffalo Grove is terrible..lol
i've had comcast out twice to install cable, and both times the guys couldn't figure out what was going on. the property manager couldn't figure it out, i certainly couldn't. so i emailed a resident i met and found the problem . . . .
i kept taking the cable guy to the wrong hookup area because i didn't know a different one existed.

Glad to hear that your grandfather is doing better.

Spiral staircase *gasp* . This basement sounds ...creepy. What exactly haven't we been told about AIDS? I'd love to know... and when combating the gay agenda should we hire an interior design team? Asking for a friend.
Sounds like you had a perfect vacation nice Iowa sweater.

Sounds like the new home is working out well. It's especially good that you like the kitchen.
amarena:
Ahh yes moving. Glad you're at the tail end of it and are starting to relax.
finally got the sofa up from the burbs. relatively painless and i am currently enjoying the fruits of my labor by laying on said sofa.
thursday i'll get the tv and my stereo/records here.
starting to come together.

not all my stuff is here yet, but enough that i've been living here.
the AC wasn't working properly so monday, tuesday, and wednesday night i...
