A (Mostly) Uneventful Fourth
Hopefully the mixture of grilling, beer and fireworks didn’t upset anyone’s systems too much this Fourth. At 6622, we took a trip on the third up to Milwaukee for Summerfest in honor of Janine’s birthday. I was…violated?…by a random guy at the Gavin DeGraw concert, but I didn’t mind all that much. Bought a couple of t-shirts, ate a little funnel cake and otherwise had a good time.
Yesterday, I worked on cleaning up and organizing my room. Got a decent chunk done; now it’s a matter of putting files away, boxing things up that need to be stored, etc. Bought more pieces for my closet storage system at Target, which was also an opportunity to return the garbage can I didn’t need.
Back to the grind today. Pretty uneventful around the office today. It was a “no shirt day” and I wore mine. Naughty. I’ll learn for tomorrow. Getting ready to head to good ol’ Minnesota at the end of the week.
