gah! still no time to breathe around here. i think i'm going to pick up my new tv tonight (courtesy of heather, my lovely coworker who has an extra tv) so i'll be able to watch csi tomorrow. actually, i'll probably be over at avalon tomorrow to clean clean clean, so i'll either watch csi over there, or miss it :( oh well.

work is crazy busy... i have 35 or so five-star (wetlands education and restoration) proposals to read and comment on by friday. heather and i have also been reorganizing the grant load to account for the fact that we're getting inundated with 300+ grants from the closed denver office, plus 50 or so pending grants that will be moving forward soon, plus the fact that both heather and rebecca will be offloading grants in their new job capacities. gah! stress stress stress. i know heather is far more stressed than i am, too. we just need more staff, more money, and more time, none of which we'll get. sucks.

nagymama is still in the hospital. she's breathing on her own now, which is good, but the next step is inserting a feeding tube. she keeps pulling all of the tubing apparati out, so she's not really helping herself much in that regard. my dad is going to stay up here this weekend (instead of going to so. cal for easter as usual) because he can't leave her.... *sigh*

my apartment is pretty much settled. i got most of the little things i think i needed, so now all i really need is that dang dresser. i saw one in target yesterday that was decently priced and would fit the bill, so i may just do that. i bought a bunch of little house-y items, like a dish-drying rack, kleenex, a phone for my room (corded, so the battery doesn't die), things like that. i've got some pictures up, too, although my room still needs a little more work. i found a small wasp's nest in the making on my front doorway, though. must take care of that before it becomes a big wasp's nest.

woo hoo! earthquakes game, t-minus three days! yay!

one good thing to look forward to, even though it's still a month away... i'll be going back out to atlanta for memorial day weekend to visit my boy. :) i'm using advantage miles, so it's only costing me $10! i have plenty of vacation time, too, so it's not even going to be much of a hassle. i've made something of a tradition to go travelling on memorial day weekend, too, so in a sense i'm continuing the tradition and spending time with someone very special at the same time.
