Azelle's Adventures

Whew, what a day. I took a day off from work to get caught up around the house post-move, and I’m so glad I did. Yesterday I was wondering if I had enough left to do to justify the day off, but I sure proved myself wrong there! I’ve been working on unpacking, sorting, and cleaning since 10:30 this morning. None of it took long or was terribly dramatic by itself, but put it all together and I had a full day. Since I still have two days of weekend left, I think I’ll call it quits for the day and goof off this evening.

A bit of this and a bit of that seems to be about all I have time for lately. Last night I logged into Second Life for a brief time, just long enough to say hi to some friends and start work on a jeweled sword. This evening I did some preliminary design work for an iPhone app I want to design, but realized I don’t have the patience after working all day to do any actual programming. The other day I did something similar with a website project I’m thinking about. I played some Fallout 3 the other night but paid the price for it in the morning with a case of the yawns that wouldn’t stop. It doesn’t help that I’ve been getting headaches a couple of times a week from the pressure changes here (I assume), or that I hardly feel rested after sleeping on our pathetic excuse for a bed while our real one is in storage. But listen to me complain as if I’m not enjoying myself here. That isn’t it at all; I just marvel at how little time there is for personal pursuits now that I’m out in the “real world” again. Somehow days didn’t even seem this short when I was working 35 hours a week and going to school full time, and that with an active social life! Maybe I was just used to it.

Well, Vegas has proven to be a busy thing. Between in-processing on the base, house-hunting, job-searching, and getting to know my new Mac (not to mention that this has all been done in blistering 100* weather), I’ve been pretty pooped by the end of each day. To all my SL and RL friends and loved ones who haven’t heard much from me lately: I’ll be back soon! We’ve put down offers on two houses, I’ve applied for four jobs, and we’ll be temporarily moving into base housing later this week. Let me just say in closing that Vegas isn’t so bad – in fact, it’s pretty darn nice, as long as you stay in the right places.
