Back to work

Four working days off, how the fuck did I accumulate all this shit in my inbox?

Hungover

Good wedding, great reception. That is all.

In Gilbert Arizona

Waiting for breakfast to be delivered to the room.  Long travel day yesterday; pick up tux and rehearsal today.

Traveling

I'll be traveling the next week or so. Posting may be more sporadic than usual.

Bristol Chart and the Blustery Day

It's a lovely day outside. Contrary to the normal Seattle gloom and drizzle, it's *raining* and a bit windy. I like it.

Working today

That is all

Friday!

Unfortunately, it's not payday and I am working this weekend. But it's still Friday.

Getting ready for a trip

Mrs Bristol and I are going to visit AZ next weekend for a friend's wedding. I enjoy travel alone; with wife, not so much.

I'm one of those people who arrive at the airport 3 hours before my flight, get through security, grab a coffee and newspaper and relax until it's time to board. She, on the other hand, leaves home with just enough time to get to the airport and rush to the gate as they are boarding; it doesn't help that she needs a wheelchair for the long treks. We pack differently, I have a carry on packed two days in advance; she's still throwing too much stuff into a huge suitcase as we're heading out the door.

She's also a nervous flier, where I am the exact opposite. So she's also doped up on antianxiety meds; a little turbulence and she's a basket case. I'm looking forward to being there, but not to getting there.

Snow?

Yes, it's snowing right now.

Vegas

I need a Vegas break.  I have three vacations scheduled this year, but none to Vegas.  Going to Reno in August, but the "Biggest Little City in the West" just doesn't have the same vibe.

Young cats

Our kittens are growing up.  They'll be a year old next month.  Still active pains in the butt, but loveable.

Yep, Spring is definitely here

We hit the magic temperature yesterday. The slugs hatched!! The driveway here at work was awash with baby slugs.

Spring is still around

But it's hiding behind the rain clouds.

Feeling old today

Not sure why, but feeling old A.D. tired today.  I'll get over it I'm sure.

I think Spring is arriving

Today is the first day it actually really feels like Spring. I'm not sure what that feeling is, but it's definitely there today.

Much better today

Yesterday I wasn't fit company, was snappy and easily annoyed. Much Mike comfortable in my skin today.

Quiet

It's quiet in here today!  I'm the only one in the office and all I hear is the ticking of the clock on the wall and the traffic on the freeway outside. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I am the boss of you

At least for the next few days.  Boss is on vacation so I'm the boss. No real difference in what I do, but I get paid 5% more for it.

Much better today

Still annoyed with spouse, but I'll survive.

It's a beautiful day today, may be our first official 60 degree day of the year.

Frustrated

And yes, a female is involved.  A medical thing that Mrs Bristol has been putting off for a couple of years is suddenly interfering with a planned trip. Sometimes I'm not sure why I'm still married…

Mostly finished

I took care of most of the stuff I need to get done yesterday. I'm paying for it today, but will finish it up today.

Busy weekend ahead

Lots of stuff that I need to get done the next two days and maybe not enough time to finish them all. I guess I should get off my dead ass and get started...

I think I needed that

Life has been quiet lately and I like it that way.  I should post this one on my Facebook page, but I won't.

Cranky!

I have a bad case of the crankies today. Doesn't matter what you are doing or saying or who you are, you're pissing me off.

Kimchee

I really enjoy spicy food and lately I've been on a kimchee kick. In the last 3 days I've probably eaten about a pound and a half. I think it's caught up with me...

Got the move started

I got the move of crap from the storage unit to the shed going this weekend. I think I'm going to need one more shelving unit, and I'm thinking I really should have gotten the next size larger shed. If I had though, I would have had to get a building permit.

Tux

I'm headed to Men's Wearhouse to get fitted for a tux for a wedding next month.  I was in her last one, on her side, but her new guy has a problem with that so I'm going to be on his side. 

Larry King can't remember

When Piers Morgan said that Larry had been married 8 times to 7 women Larry said that wasn't right, it was 7 and 6.  Piers was right.  It sucks getting old...

Having a decent day

Not a great day, but an acceptable one.  OK weather, work going fine, feeling better.  Just meh.
