I went upstairs to read at 7 PM last night and couldn’t get through a page before falling asleep. I woke up at 6 AM and Kelly and I decided to stay in bed (and keep warm) until 7:30. So I basically slept for 12 hours last night. Then it was off to a busy day in the office.
The days are flying by and blurring into one another. I only got to the gym one day this week. On the other hand, I did a good deal of writing and I’m happy about that. I’ve been trying to catch up on NEW SCIENTIST. I was two issues behind, and now I’m only one issue behind. But that’s taken time away from The Best of the Best. I hope to make better progress on that front.
Kelly’s belly is getting bigger. People other than me can tell she’s pregnant. She’s generally been feeling much better than she was feeling in the first trimester.
The garage door didn’t work again this morning. This marks the fourth time I’ve had problems with it, always on cold days, and I ripped the maintenance manager a new one, I’m afraid. I asked the to replace the garage door opener, seeing as how I appear to be the only one having the problem. I played the "pregnant wife" card and made it clear that I didn’t want Kelly to have to manually open and close the garage door. The damn thing is just defective. They "fixed" the problem today by adjusting the tension, but even after that, I went to the office and made sure that I wanted it replaced. It involves paperwork and going through the management company, but I’m not backing off this one
Re-upped my SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN subscription through 2012. Received three of The Year’s Best Science Fiction in the mail yesterday. I’m slowly going to work my way backwards through the series. And today also marked two straight weeks of packing my lunch for work.
It was extremely cold here today. Below 0 at times. Right now, the temperature is 7 and 0 with the wind chill. At least the heat in the house is working.
We head to New York tomorrow to visit he11o_sunshine and stubiebrother and Sadie. Yup, we’re flying US Airways to LaGuardia and back. A couple of people have pointed this out to me so I’m just confirming it. We are looking forward to seeing Jen and Jason and meeting our niece for the first time.
Inauguration is Tuesday and I haven’t described what it’s like in the D.C. area with respect to that, but it will have to wait for another post because I’m getting ready to go to bed. Suffice it to say, it will be interesting here over the next four or five days.
Just finished watching the season premier of Battlestar Galactica and I thought it was good. Looking forward to the remaining nine. (And when there are only five episodes left, I can already predict the tag lines: "Don’t miss the ‘final five’".
And I’ve got a small headache.
