A good Friday

Categories: Personal

Have you ever stirred awake before your alarm and thought "Wow. What a good night's sleep -- AND I don't even have to get out of bed yet!"? Then you roll over, put your hand on the person you are lucky enough to be sharing a bed with, and doze, drifting in semi-consciousness as the day comes into being outside your open window.

That was me this morning. I woke up from a great night's sleep, which is always a good way to begin a day.

I'm not even sure why I got a great night's sleep; I actually went to bed a little late. I was in a pretty good mood when I went to bed, which I am sure helped.

Last night we had a great D&D session. We scheduled this extra Thursday session so we could get through the adventure before I left. Monday will be my last session with these guys before I move. Rich is doing a great job as DM, challenging us without going over the top. Last night we defeated two devils and retrieved a magic orb. And, yes, I know I am totally geeking out now. At least I didn't tell you about my character (well he's this wizard who had to leave the magic college and has this cool familiar and. . .)

On the geek front, I've also started playing OGame, an online sci-fi RTS where you build resources and spaceships and conquer planets. It's like a Sid Meyer game. My friend David, who moved from C'ville to Portland recently, sent me the link to the game awhile ago, but I just signed up. So far, it's pretty fun.

Speaking of Portland, I'm reading Fight Club, by Chuck Palahniuk. I'll give a full report when I'm finished.

Sarah and I have also firmed up our vacation plans. After visiting my dad in Knoxville, we're going to the NC mountains for a couple of days, just to relax. We're staying at what looks to be a nice place in Blowing Rock -- The Village Inn. We've got a room with a jacuzzi on the deck -- awww yeah. I haven't been to that part of NC in a long time, so it should be nice.

Now, we're just continuing to pack. We close on the house next Friday. Buying a house, vacationing at a mountain inn -- how very adult.
