Still suffering through dial-up over here in the 95822....bah...oh, and the heat. The kill-me-now-and-get-it-over-with-heat.

Sorry for the lack of posts - it's been one hell of a week. Long hours at work, boxes to unpack (and a garage still filled with many more) and the divorce from the old house. We finally cut all ties on Wednesday, turning in the keys and turning over a place so clean and shiny I almost wanted to move back in again. It's like a break-up - as we sorted through the baggage I wanted nothing more than to just walk away - but the goddamned place still had my stuff - and then after the final walk-through I suddenly felt nostalgic and bittersweet. You know, remember when?

But we have pictures and good memories and that is that and it's on to this next chapter. And it's a chapter with central heat and air, so I think we're already doing better in this new relationship.

Now, on to the weekend, during which I will be reading the new Harry Potter book. The entire thing. All 672 pages.

Why? Because I am a geek and I'm getting paid for it. Two very good reasons, I believe.
