5. I'm experiencing stress...but happy stress
Prom is Saturday but we seem to have everything ready for the big night (I've canceled Mother's Day b/c the boys are coming back here to spend the night after the after-Prom party) :boring:

Graduation party is on the 26th with commencement on the 27th - 19 days away :wow:

It's all very exciting!!!

20. Life is good here BiBaby!!!
Finals going on right now. 2 left to go.

Got 3 evals to write for some sailors who work for me.

Getting ready to run my first "ultra-marathon" this weekend (101 kms)

Wife gives birth next tuesday (gotta love the beauty of "planned birth")

All in all, I can't complain. Still gotta work in sleep somewhere, but other
than that, it's all good.

Vega, on the other hand is wide awake, and kicking the absolute crap out of my wife at the moment. I thought the last month was supposed to be the "quiet month", right before birth.

Edited on Tue May-08-07 04:09 PM by ALiberalSailor
...but since we're going cesarian, it's skeded for next tuesday. The hospital, god bless each and every one of them, is putting a bed in my wife's room for me. I suspect I'll need it after Saturday and Sunday.

30. Hot, and not in a good way.
Heat wave in the Bay Area and I live in one of the hotter interior areas -- mid 90s every day since Sunday. Too early for that weather! I have too much gardening to do. Even in the late day it's a tad too warm for comfort. On the upside, the tomato and pepper plants are loving it and we eat dinner on the patio rather than in the house. Today's dinner will be chicken, potatoes, and aspargus -- all grilled. Can't stand the thought of cooking inside.

40. Another day with a roof over my head and the sun on my face
Can't complain.

Work-wise, I've got "merger" stress. It's good, as I'll get to be a "bigger dawg" but all growth is painful one way or another.
