I'm beat.

This has been a long week, and it's not even close to over. I've been working like crazy trying to finish up something that's due by Monday. Plus performing a HAZOP review. Plus planning a shutdown on one of my units. Plus reacting to an unexpected occurrence at my other unit. I was so tired last night I almost fell asleep driving home. Now I've got to work twelves tomorrow, and probably a decent portion of Saturday and Sunday. I think I'm going to keel over . . .

In happier news for me (although not so much for my pocketbook), I succumbed to the cardinal sin: I went to Joann's for their store closing sale. They are moving to a new location and are trying to get rid of all their inventory before they do. Consequently, everything was 50-70% off already reduced prices. So, in a moment of weakness, I proved that I am my mother's child: I bought a significant number of needlepoint kits (we won't say how many). I've already started two! Which is really sad, considering I have two that I'm already working on. Oops! :)

In the "It'll be a new experience" category comes a very odd tale, at least for me. My production spec (of "why paw" fame) is going to try to set me up with his sister's nephew by marriage. He's moving back to Texas after having lived in Colorado (yay!) ever since he was a small child. He even went to CSU. If for no other reason than that we can chat about good ol' FC, I'm excited to meet him. Don was going to try to call him tonight to a) ascertain that he is still single and b) see if he'd like to meet me. How weird is that? I've never been set up before, but hey, "it'll be a new experience." :) Keep tuned for updates!

Have a wonderful day!
