Been up for a while, but moving slow not for any other reason than I can. It's Easter which means absolutely nothing to me. First off, I don't believe in a zombie god who rose from the dead after three days and second, I no longer have small children in the house who believe in a bunny who hides colored eggs and candy. Really sound stupid when you write down what this supposed 'holiday' is actually about, eh?
Drove the kid home yesterday. Back to an empty house. I was talking with X1's husband yesterday and he put a name to my issue. I was telling him about the new job and saying how I had been working from home for too many weeks. Without me having to explain he said 'Oh wow, you must end up with some serious cabin fever!' Yep, that's it right there. Cabin fever. I didn't make the connection because obviously I am not in a cabin snowed in, but the effect is the same. He got it. I mentioned this same phrase to another friend later in the day and she agree too. Cabin fever. Hopefully this new job offer will come through earlier rather than later next week and I can not worry about cabin fever any more.
Did some work for one client when I got home. I wasn't able to finish as I am missing two passwords still to finalize the configurations, and I don't expect to hear back from anyone until Monday morning with the information. The nice thing is I have to be at one client at 8am Monday then at noon, I leave to spend four days at another client. I am actually looking forward to this. It's a mentoring gig where it's very casual and it's out of town. Plus this might be my last project for the company. We shall see.
Started packing yesterday. Also re-did the old hair color. Not happy with it right now. I may end up shaving it down because I went with a slightly different color than normal for some variation and it ended up being too brassy. One of the benefits of being a guy -- Don't like the hair? Shave it off.
Played some Mortal Kombat 9. I don't think I mentioned that I picked it up while the kid was here. Her and I have a special affinity to MK. When she was small, it's the first video game I taught her how to play. Ever since then, any version of MK is our special thing. Nerdy, but true. We played some while she was here and I started in with the story mode last night. I will say, this is the best MK in a long time. None of the stupid crap they have been trying to put in the last few versions. Fatality, babality, animality -- it's all back in it's basic 2.5d glory.
Went to bed around 10 and got a solid night's sleep. Today I need to clean the house since I will be gone next week. That means emptying the fridge, litter boxes, etc. Only a couple hours worth of work. I can't go anywhere today because 99% of the stores are closed for zombie day. Luckily I got cat litter and cat food yesterday.
Off to clean.
