travis' brain dump

Can I just say how glad I am this week is coming to a close? It’s honestly been probably one of the longest, roughest weeks I’ve had in a long time. I’m not going to complain about individual items because that’s pointless whiney nonsense but yeesh, I hope next week isn’t anything remotely close to this one.

I turned 29 this week… and that’s all I have to say about that… *sigh* the countdown to the big three-oh has begun.

Got a start on the family room remodel which will be the final piece in completing the entire downstairs. Pictures are going to come shortly and there will be a constant blog of the progress since this one is going to be so much fun. (hint of sarcasm with a side order of mild excitement) It should be pretty interesting though. Putting a real ceiling into the room instead of that crappy drop ceiling nonsense, widening up the stairway going down there by at least a foot if not more, installing a gas fireplace, expanding the jacket closet on the living room floor (it’s tied into the family room oddly), streamlining the hallway and laundry room, installing a swinging bookcase, a pocket door on the bathroom… the list keeps going. It’s definitely going to be a fun storyboard of pictures and to add to the mix of things, the goal is completion by August. How’s that for pressure?

Did I mention how glad I am tomorrow is Saturday? I’m turning off every phone, turning off the doorbell and if you beat on my door you *WILL* get the business end of the weapon closest to me when I come stumbling out of my room in your face. I am looking forward to sleeping in and if it is disturbed people *WILL DIE*! Hopefully I’ll get some time to do something relaxing this weekend. We shall see.

I want to take a nap at work but I know how uncomfortable that would actually be. I have no desire to wake up with either my head stuck to my desk in a puddle of drool or have my contacts dry out and stick to my eyeballs (which happens when I sleep with them in *shudder*)

6.5 hours to go. *bangs head on desk* hmmm well I guess I better get back to work. I have so much to get done today. This whole week has been one giant game of catch-up. heh… there goes the MPLS link here at work… bye bye cities… 🙂
