As usual, I've returned from a few days away feeling like it's been much longer. Time spent with family I like is always good and one can't help but relax on the island. We chilled. I played with my nephew and met my new niece. I drank good beer, read, and spent evenings around the campfire watching the how the setting sun changed the landscape. And watching the Canada Day fireworks put on by South Bay Mouth.
Oh, and swatting mosquitoes. Man, those little fuckers loooooove me. Can't wait to meet the 26 varieties of mosquitoes in Yukon/Alaska.
The original plan was to stay away until the weekend, but I had to come back and finish up some client work. Yay.

Finally got unpacked and with a good cup of coffee in my hands, I fired up the computer. For once, I looked at my 400+ unread blog items in Bloglines with dread rather interest. I made it past the first 9 or 10, thought "good god, not this shit again", and marked all remaining outstanding posts as read.
The next immediate thought was to change the word again to still.
I can't tell if I just need a longer vacation, or if I'm finally hitting the bullshit saturation point.
Mosquitoes love me, too. I can't be outside for 2 seconds until they zero in on me. Even if I'm wearing Off on my arms and legs, they'll go for my face! It's SO aggravating...
I agree fireworks are def +EV. :)
Purty fireworks.
Apparently cigar smoke is the only way to go with mozzies. As is a shitload of deet.
Not only do they love me, but I am allergic to their bite. You can imagine the fun that can be had..
