So now that I’ve gathered your attention… 🙂

Today was a regular Monday, really. I wasn’t really as ‘out of it’ as I might normally be coming back from not being in the office since Wednesday. I kinda expected to really waste half the day doing nothing (just gearing up to be there). Of course, it helps that I had my usual Monday morning haircut (I’ve had a Monday morning haircut (8am) once every four weeks for a long time — on the order of five years or something), because that gets me going earlier than normal and gives me something to do before I get to work (so I’m more awake when I start).

The bulk of the work day went as it normally would. I got quite a few things accomplished (several from my list, which is just as amazing) and I’m at a good point right now to start something different at work (which is a necessary evil, because there’s a ‘project’ which needs some attention — it’s actually a set of features for the handheld application)…so I left work today with the intention to actually start working on that tomorrow morning.

Beth had doctor visit #14 of the pregnancy today. 39 weeks. Things are good. And this is why I titled this ‘The End Is Near.’ All-in-all, it’s actually gone quite well throughout, but I know she’s ready for the ‘transition.’ In a perfect world (if you will), we’d be looking at an any day delivery now. 🙂 I know she’d like that. I can’t say I really blame her, after all. Something about not being able to tie shoes and do ‘normal’ sort of everyday things.

I’m trying to think of something to keep me occupied this evening. I might work on some sidebar stuff here (namely the links and miscellany), or I might try doing the Sim City or Sim Tower business. I found the CDs the other day while re-organizing the shelves. Sweet. 🙂 Of course, I might just drag the del.icio.us line for a bit and find random bits of Internet. Maybe StumbleUpon. Wait, I’m not really that bored yet. 🙂

Anyway, until next time…
