My kids have gone away for the week with their grandparents. They've gone up to my wife's parents' cabin and we've been left to our own devices for a few days, which may go some ways to explaining why I haven't really done anything online yet that I said I was going to this week.
What I have done is hang out with the wife, hang out with a friend who stopped in from out of town, a little housework, some life planning, a lot of reading and I've watched a lot of bonus features off of my Return of the King extended edition DVD.
I'm feeling pretty cool, calm and relaxed now. I've been home for about a year, now (maybe even longer), and since I haven't been able to get a vacation out of the house, it's kind of nice to be able to have one while still in it. I feel a little bad that I haven't gotten to a few things that I wanted to have done this week, but not too guilty. Except for the Salon pitch, none of it was attached to a paying (or potentially paying) gig, so I'm not losing sleep over it.
Anyway, that's a bit of a State of the Union address for my world. I'm going to go and do a little bit more relaxing before I get back on the horse and spend too much time in front of the computer again.
