Counting down

Yesterday felt kind of like a Friday, because my co-workers took me out for dinner. We went to an Italian place that served family-style, that is, one dish serves several people. There were five of us. We ordered four things: salad, chicken cutlets, fettucini with mushrooms, and tiramisu. We overate, and I still went home with leftover pasta and tiramisu. I intend to eat them tomorrow.

Today, in contrast, doesn't quite feel like a Friday, because I have a lot of work to do this weekend: I am supposed to get my entire apartment boxed up and ready to load onto a moving truck. Chris' folks are coming to help me do this. No actual packing has happened yet; I've just been tidying and putting away. I hope I don't impose on them too much. My computer is one of the things to be packed away, so I'll be without net-based communication for probably around three weeks: say until mid-September.

In two weeks, I will depart my current residence for Moonbase Beta -- or should I call it Bravo, to follow the Army convention? Moonbase Alpha being the base where he is now.

I'm going to want a new icon.
