Back to the Grinder

I have a busy week coming up, so I thought I'd post here. I have a LOT to do to get ready for the changes at work. I just spent the whole day building the new work server for the basement. At 1:22am I am finally calling it quits, though there are still some minor things to be done. I am curious to see about the Swappable drive setup I bought my dad for Christmas. Other than that, I am just glad it is RUNNING.

Tori is on vacation and living closer to work. I hope this leads to some more time together, as well as a few more meetings for lunch. I believe we will be doing so tomorrow. =)

The Christmas list? A bunch of GOOD books about military history from my dad and an ENTIRE set of Calphalon stainless steel kitchen ware, Corning Ware, Farberware, Wolfgang Puck, etc. Pricy! Now all I need is a stove, a crock pot, and a rice cooker. Tori got me some great gifts... some things funny, some things Guinness brand, and a few things I had to hide quickly. ;) Dorky as it sounds, one of the more interesting gifts I got this year is a professional tool kit for computers. It is a combination lock briefcase filled with every tool I could POSSIBLY need for working on pcs. It's pretty cool, and I have already put it to good use today.

My sinus has been killing me for about two weeks now. I haven't been able to shake it... can't blow it out, can't snort it down (disgusting, I know, but it is the one proven method which has saved me from many weeks of asthma in the past). Anyway, despite overloading myself with vitamins I've been unable to really shake it. Over the past three days I particularly began to feel it getting worse and feared an onset of asthma. I've been maintaining the vitamin OD, and now today I also began taking this 'miracle drug' called Airborne Formula. It was developed by a teacher and was suggested to the family by a pharmacist friend of ours who says he and his entire department swear by it. It's an effervescent (sp) and it doesn't even taste too bad. I've been popping these every 3 hours today, and downing Robitussin CF every 4 hours.... and right now at 1:33 I can actually breathe clearly and heavily through both nostrils as though I were running the mile. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

Bringing my camera to work in the morning. I want to get a few last shots of the place. It really is quite beautiful. Too bad the snow has all gone!
