Folklife was a gas. A great time was had by all. Poodlepums even said that her "old daddy was back."

Monday, it was back to crankiness as the painting dragged on (you don't want to rush when painting the trim) and then I did my obligatory four hours at work. Today I was the übercrank as I read through rental paperwork while waiting to see if my last Japanese Encephalitis shot would kill me. The rental agent recommends having all sorts of professional cleaning done before one shows their property. Ha! Sometimes I wonder if it would have been unethical to have gotten a second mortgage based on my current job and used the money to pay someone else to do all this repair work and then use the leftover money to make the payments until we start earning real money again in 2007. (Such optimism, eh? That we'll go back to making money after China.)

Anyway, I'm going to take my cranky self home and go to bed.
