Life Maintenance

Andrea and I went out to the cottage this weekend for the first time in a while. It was good to get out there, but it seems as though there's never enough hours in the day. We didn't get out there until late Friday night, and left for skiing early Sunday morning. Skiing was a blast, but the cottage time ended way too soon.

We're looking at booking some vacation time soon. I think we're going to put our globe-trotting on hold for a bit, and do something close(r) to home. At the moment, we're looking at Florida, with equal amounts of time to be spent at Disney World and the pool. I can live with that.

Tonight has been spent trying to get caught up on the basic life maintenance I tend to ignore unless absolutely necessary. That is to say, mail, recycling, various insurance claims, laundry, budgeting, etc., etc. Really, I'd rather be sleeping. It doesn't help that my cheeks are warm from sunburn and windburn, and both kittens are stone cold asleep, draped across pieces of furniture as though their batteries suddenly ran dead.

Fortunately, I did most of the work on the project shortly after dinner. Health care lessons started earlier this weekend, and are soon to be followed by lessons in business management, computing and English. Establishing the women's internet facility did a lot to help our credibility, but there's still a ways to go before we're properly accepted as a genuine charity.

I've been finding it difficult to find material that's blogworthy recently. I don't blog about work, so that's out. Most of my family stuff is either too personal or uninteresting. There's a lot going on with the project, but it's already got its own blog, and that's enough. Short of publishing tasting notes on various scotches, I'm at a bit of a loss. But hey, here's my post for the next few days, so that buys me a bit more time.

With that, it's time to put the clothes in the dryer.
