I resigned from Anystream today. I won’t get in to the details, but I’ll certainly be enjoying an hour less commute time per day. I don’t want to publicly announce my new company yet, but it’s right down the street from my house, has good benefits, and still has the small company feel that I’ve grown to love. My last day at the ‘stream…
Phew! When you start getting in to double digit mileage for your runs, it eats a serious chunk of time! I really just wanted to brag that I pretty effortlessly ran 9.5 miles yesterday and that running/shin pain are both going well, but I also owe a general update. Saturday was eaten by my sister’s baby shower. Not to say I didn’t have a…
On Saturday night, while cooking, I noticed some black seed-looking things on the stove. Assuming it was just some crap (no pun intended) that someone had left after cooking, I didn’t think much of it. The next morning, it’s everywhere. We’ve got mice!

It is 3am. I am currently sitting in the bathroom waiting for my calamine lotion to dry. Some time last week, it seems I took a nap in a poison ivy plant/bush. I am more or less covered on every limb with the crap. It is currently to the “weeping” stage where it just freaking oozes nonstop. I have developed some bandaging with toilet…
