I have thrashed to death the big hairy project at work, and I have taken my mother to the airport post a three-day visit. (My mother is one of the coolest people on earth, incidentally.) Still behind on schoolwork. Still behind on housework. Not behind on talking to people. Still breathing.

Monday would be a great day to take off work, except that the installers for the next two hairy projects (EMC installation redux, and upgrade of the electrical supply to our machine room) arrive on Monday.

Onward!
