Kissing This Month Goodbye, also whining

So this month has been kind of stressful and I am SO BEAT right now that it’s all I can do to not lay down and take a nap right here in my cube. 

I have the biggest cube, so it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch.

This week in particular has been quite, uh, less than awesome.  I was out of town last weekend visiting my sister on Friday and then she came to stay with me on Saturday, and we got some bad cancer news about a family member and that has kind of preyed on me all week.  I’ve been really tired all week and had two after-work-hours board meetings, one of which was four hours long in a cold clubhouse.  I’m kind of surprised that I’m not sick, to be honest.

KNOCK ON WOOD

Anyhoo, I did a little economy-stimulating in the last couple weeks.  For two months I’ve been searching high and low the greater East Bay for a Nintendo Wii, and lo, I snagged the last one at Target a couple weeks ago. Then, a couple days later I was buying a vacuum and lo, there on the shelf in Walmart was one of many Wii Fits.  So I bought that too. 

And I’ve lost 3 pounds using the Wii Fit. I know, right?

I just found Mario Galaxy the other day (the last one at Fry’s – a trend maybe??) and have been playing that.  I heart that game a lot, even though I’ve played the first few levels twice already on friends’ Wiis, so this is all a repeat for me right now.  I STILL need to hook up internet at my place (am piggybacking the local wireless) and get the Wii online so I can share all my ridiculous Miis and download old school games.

Take a look at my yarn wall:

That is my sock yarn.

I am not done unpacking and may never be.  I am stuck in a quagmire of boxes, though they are certainly neatened up.  Also: where are the grotesques that I made in ceramics?? WHERE DID I PACK THEM OH THOSE MANY YEARS AGO?

I know not.
