Bare Necessities

I'm finding that I now have some time after work to run a few errands, or simply take a quick nap. What a concept! In the past I might have done a little on-line shopping, but these days, I'm actually spending some time at actual stores. Instead of buying my geekware on-line, I actually made a stop at Fry's Electronics the other day. I got myself back in line with the current decade, and bought a wireless router, and some other cool stuff. I'm not quite finished with my move into my new home, but at least I have my bed and my computer -- all of the bare necessities of life. Now that I have a wireless router, it would be nice if I could get some high speed access, but that probably won't get here until next Tuesday. See ya.

Comforts Of Home

We've all heard the saying -- Home is where the heart is. I think another important aspect to that saying must be mentioned. I believe that home is where the bed is -- more specifically, the mattress. There are really a lot of things to consider when purchasing a mattress. After all, a normal person purchases a mattress once every other decade, so you really need some sort of authority on the subject to guide you through the process. For example, the beds that they have at Westin Hotels are really nice, but way too pricey. There are other options with your mattress springs or memory foam and then there's the box springs, along with your frame and headboard. Too add to the price, some of these items are positioned as Sleep Systems. Hmm. I don't need a Sleep System to control the sleep aspect of my life. I just need more hours than I usually get. Don't we all? So, after wading through the options, I decided to just buy a standard king size mattress set. It's just one of those comforts of home, I guess. I'm going to bed now. See ya.

The Universe Unfolds

Yet another week has passed in the new job. After two weeks, countless meetings, and many other interesting events, I'm starting to feel like this is where I belong. I should have done this a long time ago. I'm happy again, and I'm starting to get back into a semblance of life once again. I found my smile again. Who would have thought that I'd find it in San Diego?

I guess you just don't realize how bad things are, until you leave them behind. It's kind of hard to deal with leaving the security of familiar work, but I suppose there are limits to the nonsense that one can stomach. And now it's time for one of my favorite quotes: "If there's nothing wrong with me, then there must be something wrong with the universe."

See ya.
