Sick and tired.

I've been really busy lately. I'm remodeling our bathroom. It all started with a simple faucet replacement, but has turned into one of the biggest cluster-fucks imaginable. I really hate the previous owners of my house and their complete ineptness at home repair. At least my wife is finally getting the bathroom she's been wanting since we bought the house. I've also discovered that I'm a pretty damn good drywall guy. I don't like it; hate it, in fact, but at least I'm good at it. The bad thing is that I've spent most of my time on this little project and haven't gotten any writing done lately. I just haven't had the energy. Hopefully this project won't take too much longer… if I don't run into any more problems, that is.

 

On an unrelated note, winter sucks. I'm ready for summer. I'm sick of being cold. I'm looking forward to heading to the lake; do some fishing and some skiing. I just hope the gas prices hold and don't skyrocket again. We only went a couple of times last year because we just couldn't afford to fill up the boat and the truck. It cost us over $100 to go out for one day last year.

 

I mentioned today was my daughter's fifth birthday. She was playing RB2 last night, playing drums on easy, and hit 70% on Eye of the Tiger, and in the 60's on several other songs. We got her a First Act guitar for Christmas, but I'm starting to wonder if we should have gotten her a drum set instead. Could this be a sign that she has a natural talent for the drums?

 

Well, that's it for now. My throat is starting to feel really bad again - time for some more coffee. It seems to be the only thing that helps.
