He's back, ladies and gentleman

Well, it's been awhile.  Soccer is over for this season, and I'm wondering if it was a success or not.  I refereed less games this season, and made only a bit less money.  More D1 games will do that, and a check for $383.14 for one game really helps.  Plus the house is almost mine ... 9 days now.  Then I'll head in the house next Wednesday, to get pictures of what it looks like now.  Because within a couple days from then, it'll be a completely different place ... it'll be my place.  The flooring is bought.  The countertops are bought.  The cabinets are bought.  But there's so much more stuff that needs to be done before anything can happen.  In no order:

  • washer and dryer
  • refrigerator
  • range
  • dish washer
  • carpet and related carpet installation
  • front bookcases, to create my "library"
  • paint
  • lighting

All in all, I've gotten stuff done and have a lot more to go.  I'm looking forward to the end of this year.  2011 will always go down as the year that started off with so much promised, and then just stopped talking to me.  After almost 11 months, I feel like Rocky.  I've gotten the shit kicked out of me this whole year, but should get in a big punch before the end of the round.  Next year will be better.

Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.
