Eureka!<\/b>
\nThere’s something wonderful about having enough vacation to just take a day off because you need to get stuff done around the house and it doesn’t fit into a weekend. This year I got an extra week of vacation (I’ll have been working here for five years June 16th). So, yesterday, in a fit of “i-have-to-get-something-done-on-my-master’s-project”, I took the day off. And I got it! I finally understand how to program for Mac OSX. If I’d just understood this way back in August, I would be done with my degree by now! It was an epiphany of sorts…very appropriate, seeing as it was the day after Epiphany. :) <\/p>\n
We also managed to get most of the Christmas stuff down (somehow my collection of decorations has grown in the past 6 weeks – I need two more storage boxes…how does that happen?!?) and put away. The upstairs toilet which has been out of comission for a year now finally got fixed (we broke down and called a plumber). And I found really fantastic wallpaper for the kitchen at Home Depot for something like $8 a roll (since we need to fix a hole in the ceiling – from the plumber – which is painted the same color as the walls, which will be impossible to match and I never liked anyway). Amazing what two people can do in a day of vacation, isn’t it? Now if today at work can be half as productive…nah – it will never happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
