Another day, another dollar
Off to Chicago on Tuesday for another solo trip, which I'm actually looking forward to, even though as of right now, I'm not entirely prepared. Close to six months into what was intended to be a part time project, and it's now 95% of my work output. The job has evolved considerably over that time, and that's a good thing since I'm getting the opportunity to use a lot skills were dormant for a few years. And yes, it's become far less stressful since evolving.
It will be a busy few weeks around here. As soon as I get back next Sunday, operation: clean the house for the parental visit will commence. Richard's supposed to be going to SJC again at the end of the month, but he's not booked anything yet :) My parents are coming out to visit for a week May 8th through the 15th, and Richard has a trip to Chicago for a conference May 14th through the 16th. The Halo3 beta starts May 16th :D I'm probably going to be out in Chicago again sometime around the 22nd through the 26th, though that has not yet been decided. It's a rough month because we also need to be ready for the NANOG invasion June 2nd through the 6th.
After June 16th, I'll start my Platinum challenge, and then decide when Richard and I are going out to NH to visit my parents and figure out my travel for those 3 months. So freaking busy...

Easter
Mark the calendar... a holiday has gone by with absolutely no fanfare. No cooking. No nothing. It's been a weird week, so I'm just taking the weekend to relax and have some downtime. To that end, Richard and I actually left the house and went to go see Blades of Glory. It was excellent -- a lot funnier than I thought it might be, and better than the overplayed commercial! I have some research to do this week, and next week I'm in Chicago again. Next week I should complete my Gold Challenge on the first leg of my trip, so hopefully I'll be able to upgrade on my return, yay! If not, it will just be one more sucky flight :)
