Things have been a little bit crazy around here.  Got home all of two and a half weeks ago, suffered jetlag to the extreme (kept waking up at 4 in the morning), and then got dragged into a crazy urgent work situation that involved staying until 2 or 3 in the morning almost every night last week (from Sunday to Sunday, I billed 101 hours!).<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, blogging (yet again) has been pretty near the bottom of my list of things to do. I haven&#8217;t even gotten around to downloading the last photos I took in Milan (one of my colleagues and I took a long lunch my last day there and climbed (Ok, took the elevator) to the top of the Duomo).<\/p>\n<p>Other annoying things since I got home?  I ordered some cabinets from Ikea to fit in a space that was exactly 26 inches wide.  The website and my receipt both say that they&#8217;re 26 inches wide.  Then the boxes came, and the labels said they were 26 and a <em>half <\/em>inches wide.  Argh.  Now I&#8217;m trying to figure out how to return them, because the only room that they even matched was the bathroom, and the only open space was the one I had ordered them for.  So that was annoying.  Not just because of the hassle, but because I really wanted some cabinets in that space.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.  what else.  Oh, my dad and my stepmom both got some flu\/virus bug going around, so I&#8217;ve seen them all of once since I&#8217;ve been home, and that was the day I got home.<\/p>\n<p>In better news though, I&#8217;m going to see Lucinda Williams at Radio City tomorrow night, so that&#8217;ll be fun (and convenient, as I work all of a block from RCMH).  And I actually have plans on Saturday with friends.  And I just got a save the date for a friend who is getting married in the Canary Islands.  So that&#8217;s a good excuse for a trip (and here I thought the wedding I was going to in Florida next month was going to be the most exotic one this year!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man o man.
