i made a decision today, a simple one. kind of the easy way out, but not too simple to be unappreciated. we cleaned house today, and ate dinner at spot's gran (highly amusing, she is), and i began watching apocalypse now: redux when we got back.
halfway through the movie the kid and i walked with coffee and hot-chocolate to the kiosk to buy milk. what an odd feeling, pouring milk on the sidewalk to drink on the way home!
the end of the movie stuns me no matter how often i watch it: it's elegant and beautiful, and pulls chords in me that i keep forgetting exist. i'm back in game mode, after enough sleep this weekend, and i've got twelve functioning days left before i'm back in paradise for a much needed holiday.
i know that the first two months after i get back in january are going to be killer - much, much more difficult and complicated than the hellish six months that i just completed. but i also know that as soon as that's done with, my life begins. i haven't had a consistent quality of life in six years, and it's about time i get back to the business of being me.
i've just polished my boots, and made my bed (with two comfy duvets inside the cover), and i'm about to hit the shower and then the sack. i needed this weekend badly, and i did nothing of real value, and i'm good with that.
and i once again forgot to post this awesome link from penny arcade: wii safety manual
