Long Overdue Update

I've been busy as hell the past few days and although I'm still in busy mode today, I have a small break before the next crisis comes down the sewer...

( Seattle/Vancouver trip summary under the cut. )

Coming back to the working world again has been painful. It was a fantastic vacation, thanks in no small part to rlegters and tdjohnsn who are best travel companions one could hope to have (and special bonus points to rlegters who did much of the driving in areas unfamiliar to me, sparing us much stress & anxiety). Returning to the work-related suckage didn't improve my mood at all either but we'll save that for another post.

Must make everything clean...

About 1.5 months ago, our regular cleaning service tossed in the towel. Staffing issues had become too much and the business owner was depressed and disillusioned about the entire enterprise so he decided to end the venture. Kent & I have been cleaning our own house for the past while and while we didn't particularly like it, we muddled through.

Earlier this week, we received a telephone call: our cleaning elves are back in business! They should have been to the house, cleaned & left by the time you see this posting. I'm looking forward to returning to a sparkling home after work this afternoon.

In Other News...

Michael K. from Cleveland has been our utterly delightful house guest since Tuesday evening. Having him around the past couple days has been great: we've been abusing him as a houseboy as we go about catching up on much neglected domestic work such as grocery shopping, and he's handled all with humour and grace.

We're taking him to our trailer at Roseland this coming weekend, although he'll be returning to Cleveland on his own on Saturday to attend a wedding. I'm looking forward to abusing his generousity further until then. :-)
