This weekend was all over the fucking place, without my ever leaving the house.

Refi inspection revealed possible termite swarming, so that's a tidy thousand bucks to get the house tented sometime in the not-too-distant future. It's been four years (was tented just before I moved in), so it's more of a nuisance than anything. There goes the money mortgage payment I didn't have to make for July....

... and, in the fine tradition of expensive upgrades eating up any hint of improved cash flow, new windows have been contracted for. They cost as much as my first car. *sigh*

aishlynn had a bit of a scare yesterday, falling out of a tree at work. Fortunately, all she's got are a couple of scrapes and a really big bruise. It continues to look like I do the most half-assed job of beating my girlfriend ever. :-P

Lots of other shit lurking in the weeds, but it's my usual litany of opinionated bitching about this, that, and the other.

It's pretty damn cool that she has a job that sometimes involves climbing trees, anyway... I think my perfect job would involve some tree climbing, some den-building, some playing with Lego, and some sleeping.

So, you want to be a seven-year old.

Well, almost -- like a 7-year-old, only with more sleeping.

But I also want a really good salary for being a 7-year-old. That's always the sticking point. Not many fun jobs allow that.

Although my sister is currently training to be a play therapist -- she went on a training course recently where after the theory segment they spent the rest of each day playing with Lego, and train sets, and stuff like that. She should end up with a decent salary out of that, in theory -- it's just taken her years to get to that point.
