i seem to be being quiet this summer. sorry about that. work continues to go well. my mom is getting near to done with the difficult parts of chemo. i'm going to become a cyborg in september. i'm writing long essays about various parts of my life for later consumption, and i am trying to figure out what furniture i need to buy and how much i can afford to spend on it and when i should buy it so as to inconvenience everyone involved the least.

see the excitement?
