Happy 2006

It's a new year and I sure let the last one dwindle off to a quiet close. I'm still bored with the internet. D and I had last week off and I don't know where the time went. He's leaving tonight for another ten days of work. I go back to work tomorrow.

On New Years Eve a few people came over and we were going to crash D's friend's party but ended up staying here. D's friend is apparently mad at him now. He didn't answer when D called him yesterday, but messaged him back with “I have no interest in talking to you”. I'm amazed at the childishness.

The unspoken conditions of friendship are confusing mysteries to me. Which I guess is why unconditional love is actually so much simpler. And that is why I don't bother much with people I don't care enough about to love unconditionally.

For a few reasons this year has gotten off on a slightly low swing. To combat that, I work on catching up and making improvements to things I actually have control over. This morning I worked on getting caught up with email (but I'm still behind) then went to the hardware store for a new dimmer switch. It annoyed me that the dimmer switch in the dining room (which we use as an extended living room since the kitchen nook is plenty big enough) never dimmed. Since we've been here, it's just clicked off and on. I asked a client about it and he said it probably just needed a new switch. I got a nicer switch with a slider for brightness and an off/on switch then came home and installed it. It feels good to fix things.

Christmas was spent up in Potter Valley with my family, but I had a few friends and family over here for Christmas Eve. In all it's been a very nice and fun Holiday Season for me.
