Lounging
Friday:
I split from work a couple hours early on Friday. The final moment has come and the woman is free of her business partner. We needed to go pick up all of the computer hardware and start dropping systems into place in the new office.
I have another ear infection. I woke up in pain Friday night, which is a very rare event. I knew I had been flirting with another infection for a couple weeks. Things would start to itch. I’d take extra decongestants and the itching would stop. Alas, I pushed too hard for too long and my body reminded me to slow down. So I started my meds and settled into avalox haze…
Saturday:
I started the winter tune-up on the FJR. I changed the oil and filter. I finally installed the K & N air filter. I need to pull the tank and drop in new plugs.
We made a trip to Iguana Micro to pick up another monitor and send the server motherboard back for repair.
Sunday:
Couch. Motorcycle travel shows on the Speed channel.
The Ducati needs its 600 mile service. According the shop manual, I need to change the oil and filter, check the chain tension and give everything a once over.
Maybe I’ll get around to that before spring arrives… Maybe not. The work never seems to end.
I have come to one conclusion. I really need to take one day a week just for myself. I stay away from the computers. If I do log on, it’s just to play a game or check my email. This one day a week, I shall not fire up the compiler or pick up a tool to work on yet another computer. So my Sunday’s have become sacrosanct. I shall slam on my kit, zone out in front of the TV, sleep past noon or play Peggle until my eye de-focus. But I shall not think about logic structures, architecture designs or scan the boards for the latest news on some new toy from Microsoft and/or codeplex.
