I did so much yesterday it's not even funny. I went to bed around 10:30 so exhausted I fell right to sleep and didn't wake up until almost 7:30. That's a lot for me but it shows how tired I was. What did I get done? Well, sit back and relax while I tell you.

It started with me doing a cat room clean. Full floor scrubbing, litter removal, etc. That's a huge amount of work on its own. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. My new desk arrived and that was the bulk of my day. Assembly, setup, arranging, huge amount of work. Am I happy with it? I don't know. I went from basically using a craft table to having a real desk. It's an adjustment. It's much smaller, which was the intent, and therefore I am having to be more careful about things strewn all over it. Everything I need fits, but it lacks additional sprawl space. We will see how that works for me. Where it does succeed is in cable management. It has a cable track on the back and that alone is awesome. Now there aren't 10,000 cables on the floor for animals to get caught up in. I was able to greatly reduce down the amount of cabling in here. On top of that, I managed to eliminate some cables and an entire power strip thanks to some creative plug rearrangement. Huge huge improvement with that. It's shorter than my old one though and I am having trouble adjusting to the height. Plus it wasn't meant for the weight of four monitors, a mic, two lights, etc and it feels a little wobbly. I might need to reinforce it in a couple of place. Overall though I think I am happy. 

I then made dinner for three. Our friend was feeling lonely and came over for dinner. I made steaks, fondant potatoes (look it up), baked broccoli, and roasted garlic spread. Was very happy with dinner, but it took effort. Then dessert, clean up, taking the dog out during the day, cleaning up after the desk, oh and three loads of laundry including towels. So yeah, it was a busy day. Today I am doing nothing. Don't care what anyone wants or needs, I am not doing it. I am sitting on my ass doing nothing. Of course that's after I break down all the recycling, take out cat litter, put away dishes, but then nothing I swear!

I have a moderate week upcoming. Two days of teaching again. Should be okay on that front. I did make a decision about something. I need to hit a certain number of miles with Delta, right? Well I think at the end of May I am going to go visit my sister. ID is a decent jaunt and should nab me another good chunk of miles. Between CA and ID I should hit around 12-13k of the 18k I need. One more trip in June and boom, done. I am waiting for that new Amex to show up first though. I want the bonus miles out of this.

Alright, time to knock out basic chores so I can have time to myself.
