And just like that, I’m up to my neck in work again. Well, it would be more accurate to say that I’m chest-high in work, and the work is pleasant, like a hot tub. I don’t know yet if there are any jets in this job-jacuzzi, but it’s possible.

I’ve got a nice, new shiny project in front of me, which I’ll get to build up from a scribble on some paper to a mature application. I’ve got a few exciting side projects to mix it up a little bit, and all the other great things I do but don’t get paid for to maintain creativity and balance.

Also, my landlord is building a patio in the shady, tiny backyard. Since it’s so shady that grass doesn’t grow reliably, I applaud the move and am looking forward to camping out with my laptop and a glass of lemonade in the summer.
