What an amazing day.

I've been sick for about two weeks, so last night wasn't a restful sleep. I ended up giving up on sleep at around 4:30am and went downstairs. Prep'd some coffee and began watching Master and Commander. Today was scheduled to be a busy day.

4:30am: Wake up
5:15am: Start watching movie
6:45am: Erick and Fred picked me up for errands.
7:00am: Arrive at Microsoft, move couch to my office
7:30am: Arrive at Home Depot to buy new garden trailer (10cu.ft.)
8:00am: Pickup aerator from rental store
8:45am: Finished aerating my lawn, and assemblying trailer, head to Erick's
10:50am: Head back to rental store to return aerator
11:45am: Back at my house, finish watching movie
1:00pm: Head out to Issaquah to get C02 container for kegerator i'm building
1:45pm: Pickup 1/4 barrel keg of MGD at K's Beverage and Deli in Bellevue
3:00pm: Move around 1.5 cu.yd of gravel onto shoulder using the new trailer.
4:30pm: Pour first beer from kegerator
6:00pm: Make dinner with Megan (my wife!)
6:45pm: Watch Mona Lisa Smile with Megan
8:45pm: Sit on deck drinking a beer and admiring the evening star
(soon): Go to sleep

Last night I hung out with friends, watched my brother-in-law's band play in Redmond, tomorrow I fly down to California to talk about Longhorn to a group of developers with Don Box. Sometimes you just have to sit back and really appreciate the life you live. Great friends, great job, amazing wife.

My catch phrase this week has been "I refuse to let being sick affect my actions in any way"... probably not the most healthy thing, but today was way better than sitting on the couch trying to feel better!
