I’m in Atlanta, GA. for a quick mini-vacation for the weekend.  We hit up the Georgia Aquarium and a Braves game last night, today we’re heading out for Stoney Mountain.  

Friggin’ Christ, it’s hot out there.

So, apparently I chose to come down on one of the hottest, muggiest weekends of the year to date. I know what you’re saying- “No kidding, dumbass. Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the Summer season. Of COURSE it’s hot!”

Well… yeah, I’m an idiot on that front.

Still, it’s nice to have nothing to do for a few days. I’m relaxing, everything is nice… and I’m starting to consider a vasectomy after dealing with little children the last few days.

On the upside, if my 3 year old nephew punches me in the balls one more time I won’t have to worry about the vasectomy. So, I’ve got that going for me.

Out.

I’ve been here four days.

My new, nice and useful phone broke on day 2 of the trip- and they’re sending me a non-exact replacement. (More on this another time.)

It’s rained two of those days.

My allergies to certain animals kicked in on day three. Consequently, I had less than five hours of sleep last night.

I’ve had to deal with kids that can only be described as “insane.”

Oh, yeah- and I may need to get a hotel room for tonight and tomorrow just to be able to breathe again.

Yeah, this sounds about right. All I’ll say is, I’m looking forward to being back in my bed Wednesday night.

Out.

The long needed vacation began this morning, at 4:59 AM.

That was when my alarm went off, so that I could leave my apartment at 6:30 AM to be at th airport by 7 to check in for a plane flight at 9:40. At that point, I was jetting my way to Chicago. I have several friends up here, and just flat-out love this city.

Hence this post, from the temporary location of Wetwired Haven. Why Haven, you ask? It’s simple. This is a real vacation for me, for the first time in years. No worrying about dealing with family issues, no racing around to see tons of people. This is a chance for me to really, truly relax.

Kinda nice, once I think about it.

Updates to come later on, I’m certain.

Out.
