not-holiday mission accomplished

 hades is cool, i'm enjoying it so far.

yesterday was mostly spent lying flat, reading or napping or introducing mr smear to futurama or trying to keep an eye cracked open for a ren & stimpy episode.

and doing lots of dishes.

today, after taking mr smear to school i stopped by the mall to pick up some underwear, which turned out to be a little bit too large because i've lost a little weight since the last time. i'm not sure if i'm happy about getting smaller, or sad about getting underwear that's not quite the right size.

i was supposed to be on vacation today, but was called in for an urgent deployment. due to the urgency - not least of which was due to tomorrow being erev rosh hashana - three of us were supposed to be working in parallel. so i was a little bit annoyed that one of the guys was suddenly moved over to something else, and then there were just two of us.

we encountered a hell of a lot of issues along the way, but by 5.30pm we were done and everything looked good. so... cool.

otherwise, today was about trying to eat responsibly and failing just a bit, and there was a short break between deployments to take mr smear to his therapist appointment.

the evening was pretty relaxed, and now i'm on holiday until next sunday which is much needed.
