Humdrum Homily

So back from Houston last night. Been a busy week attending a technical forum and working on the blackberry and into the night on server and application problems with my team. Because a new application was being used for the first time by the people it was designed for and in a large group. Suffice to say, I was multi-tasking like crazy.

I'm all alone fresh from cleaning out all the bathrooms and the kitchen and doing part of the weekly laundry. The half man helped a little with the carpet downstairs. I am satisfied. While I was away, the Man pruned the garden plants that had really grown all through spring and summer and cleaned out the backyard. Looks really neat now. And the garage as well ):.

Everyone's out. Nic to marching band and the two to the boy's golf lesson. Things have reverted to the routine yet reassuring humdrum pace of life. Good to recalibrate before the next wave of events hit, whatever they may be.

I suppose the mid-Autumn festival is over. I don't really know. Hard to keep track in this country - I am guessing because while I was away, the rest got invited on a week night to Nic's house for moon cakes. For weeks now, the two newly opened Asian supermarts have been selling them and the boy had a craving once so we bought some.

Tomorrow will be tennis. I am looking forward to it. Since Chinese lessons started up again for the half man, we have been playing close to 4 hours of tennis every Sunday. Because Ryan is also taking chess lessons after Chinese. I need the exercise to take the stress off.
