So, it’s not a bad week, but it’s a very, very busy one. Plus, I have something happening every evening after work except Thursday, which will probably be the day I get new tires. Two of these events were only decided today, and at least one is on the chopping block if someone can’t get me Important Information Soon:
- Monday – 6 pm – Video Games as Texts and Technologies at the Morgridge Millennium Gallery – Does that not sound amazing? I love that my job gives me opportunities like this. Yes, I am that kind of geek.
- Tuesday – 5-7 pm – Hold down a table at the FETC for the FDLC, which are FLAs instead of TLAs. Also tech- and work-related. Seeing a trend yet?
- Wednesday – 6 pm – Yummy Indian food with friends who are in town and whom I haven’t seen in TOO LONG. Very happy about this! (Yay, not work-related!)
- Thursday – tires?
- Friday – Sushi with Girlfriends Without Children. The GWC is a very small, select group, and even though we all work at the same place we almost never get to socialise outside of work. If I could get work to subsidise it as a “team-building experience” I totally would. This is nothing against my Girlfriends With Children, it’s just that our socalising tends to be a bit more limited in scope or involve someone crawling up my pants leg, or both. (There was a time that “crawling up my pants leg” would not denote a small child or animal. Sadly, those days are behind me now. Unless, of course, hubby reads this, since he has an Evil sense of Humour. *suddenly looks afraid*)
- Saturday – Guns ‘n Health Food – Really. Apparently, “going to the range” has become a social-type thing. Now, don’t get me wrong, I haven’t fired a rifle since high school (long story) but I’ve always been curious about shooting a pistol since I never have. This will let me give it a try with a bunch of people who won’t judge me if I do something silly like try to reload by clicking off-screen. Afterward we’re going to the superhealthfoodstore, because I need things not made with animal products. (Also a long story, which I’ll catch you up on soonish.)
My work hours? literally booked solid most of the week. Oh, and there’s both a doctor and a dentist appointment squeezed in.
Of course all of this, ALL of it, mind you, is dependent on me actually getting some actual rest/sleep at some point this week, or else I’ll be so loopy by Saturday that they won’t even let me NEAR the range for fear of something catastrophic happening. I am really, really tired folks. Gah, I’m tired.

My sons go to the range every so often and they love it. I had to learn to shoot way back in the 70′s because I worked in a police department, and we needed to hande the officer’s gun sometimes, mostly to lock them up. Anyway I scored second in the class that was full of cops. I was pretty proud of myself, even though I never shot a gun after that. Be careful and have fun!
