Summer Is Over

... not that it was much of a summer anyway. Sure, it started a bit early with some really nice, sunny and warm days in May and June, but then it just rained. Nice long days, but crappy weather. What's point? Still, there was no hurricane over here, so we have to consider ourselves fortunate.

Heading up to Gothenburg for the weekend. Going to meet my cousin Kareem (first time) and we will have a fika (bus' a lime) somewhere. If the weather holds up, it will be nice. We are usually in Gothenburg once a year, but it should be more than that; really nice place.

I'll take some pictures of course.

But man, I am really glad that we are getting out of here for a little while. Work has robbed me of a normal, predicatable schedule, and the rest of the time has been spent fixing, but never quite finishing, various projects around the house. And when I looked around today, the house is a freakin' mess. Every room is unfinished. However, I think the change will happen soon. The furniture for the living room should arrive next week, and someone is coming to put up the wallpaper. So at least that room will be done.

I'll start painting the guest room next week, and perhaps the office room will really become and office and not a temporary storage area. 4 months and we have yet to live in the house. I suppose that's they it goes, and I'm not really too worried. Just getting tired.
