(no subject)

This is just to prove that I'm still alive, in case anyone is wondering. My life is toddling along in a slow but steady (and very boring) way. I had "the crud", as we call it here, but I'm pretty much over it now. Otherwise, my roomie is still recovering, but slowly, so I still have the chores to do, and I'm basically still just going to work, coming home, feeding everyone, sleeping, and doing it again, with miscellaneous chores on the weekend.

I am back at my old job, at my old desk, and I'm much happier, if busier.

Randi and I have embarked on watching a bunch of old series (70s-80s), including S.W.A.T., CHiPs, and Murder, She Wrote. On a more contemporary level, we are obsessed with NCIS: Los Angeles. On Friday I got Game of Thrones season 2, but I haven't had a chance to begin it, yet - without careful planning, I rarely get more than an hour or so of "me time" during the week. I'm finishing a old series called Return to Treasure Island (Brian Blessed as Long John Silver, and I've never seen better), and then I plunge into GoT and will probably not emerge for days. I wish that "watching seriously interesting television" qualified as a reason for taking time off work!
