2012.05.07 Monday

Running around all weekend is nice, because of the feeling of accomplishment.  The flip side of that is now I feel like I'm running out of energy and I have a busy week ahead.

Took some time off over lunch to play some volleyball.  This might be the only chance I get this week to play, so I had to jump on it.

Went home with intentions to go for a bike ride with Kelc, but that fell through because there was a ton of lightning and gloomy skies.  Seems like the forecast should have mentioned something about a huge storm heading this way...guess not.

I cooked up a meal for myself, then started studying for an upcoming final.  Eventually Kelc came over and we watched an episode of Game of Thrones.  I thought I would be able to get back to studying after that, but the show was too draining for me, so I just went to bed.

Well yesterday was super productive.  I must counteract that with some laziness.  To start off the day, a gentle headache.  Good stuff.

Sipped on coffee and played some Ace Combat.

Drew out some cupcake pieces, and updated the google sketchup model.  Rounded out the evening with Holmes on Homes.  Rumor is that Kevin is back in town.

2012.05.05 Saturday

I set my alarm early but just on quiet radio so I could fade into being awake.  Well that didn't happen as planned, but I woke up at just the right time.  I showered and grabbed a quick breakfast, then off to...

Meet up with a realtor to check out a house I am interested in.  I got there slightly early, and we ended up having to wait around because the key box wouldnt grant us access.  The internal clock was probably off by a few minutes.  The house was nice, but you can tell it has been vacant for a while now; bugs collecting in the corners, dust, musky air.  Overall, I like the floor plan.  That is one thing that is hard, if not impossible, to change in a house.  There are some things that definitely need attention, but nothing that is preventing it from being livable.

Back home, my brother showed up to hang out.  After some chatting, we went outside to wash his car.  We did a wash, clay bar, dry, wax, and headlight restoration.  Looked pretty sweet after all was done.  Then he left to go get new wiper blades.

My fa ja and I pulled out the power tools and started cutting some wood for the cupcake project.  Things go much much faster the second time around.  It really helps having a stencil to use too.  Good that we worked on this instead of washing my car too, because I could tell my arms and neck were a tad burnt from the little time I was in the sun for my brother's car.  Good stuff.

Later on in the evening, I worked on cleaning my car. (Wash, clay bar, wax, touch-up paint, longhorn logo)  It took a pretty long time, and I was exhausted.

Showered up, then went over to Kelc's to drop off some suits and pick her up for dinner.  Mmmm Torchy's Tacos.

The over to Hab+Tay's place to watch some Death Note with Habs.  Kelc fell asleep in the middle of episode 2.

Home, sleep.

May the fourth... be with you.  (And also with you)

Woke up a little sluggish today, and somehow my shower time took much longer than it has any previous day so I was running late.  Turned out to not be a big deal.

Work was good.  Then I spent the evening relaxing.

Kelc snoozed her alarm today and woke up to mine.  I barely even woke up to mine.  Not really sure why we were so tired.

Played some v-ball over lunch.  3 days in a row? Nice.  Went for an evening bike ride.  Also Nice.

Late night shopping.

2012.05.02 Wednesday

Sluggish getting out of bed, but fine once I got started.

Nothing terribly out of the ordinary for work.  Finally had a volleyball lunch, and it was amazing.  3 very close games.

Last class today, with an extra special dinner of Donn's BBQ.  Delicious and filling.

Went home, then met up with Kelc to work on her bike so I can ride around with somebody.  Her front tire looked fine, but the back was really flat.  I tried moving the tire around to see if there were any issues and the valve stem fell out.  Oops. Off to wal-mart to pick up a new tube and some tire levers.  I used to change tubes with a flat head screwdriver and mistakenly punctured a few tubes that way.  I feel like 3 dollars is a decent investment, even if the tool is so simple.  Replaced the tube, adjusted the handlebar, adjusted the brakes, and did a quick wipe-down and this baby is good to go.  Only problem now: it's dark outside.

Back at home, sat around and looked at home listings to try and figure out if I want to see anything this weekend.

2012.05.01 Tuesday

Back to the normal grind, except today I woke up at Kelc's on her schedule before going home and starting my morning routine.

Spent the evening working on the last homework assignment for school for a long time (hopefully).  Also tried watching some Game of Thrones afterwards.  Keyword: tried.
