Also, don't you have this really neeeeeeeeedy girlfriend?

I'd be happy to take care of that for him... ;)

Good luck! And congrats on the new place.

I wish I could be busy right now. I sure hope you manage to get this all done. You already have way to much to do without the new house.

You chose this. You're just trying a variant of the classic "test to extinction" procedure. Muscles may rebuild after used past the point of exhaustion, but I have never heard that nerves strengthen with use. If anything, they seem to become more frayed. Good luck...the bar will be a breeze after all the set-up you put yourself through this year.

The odd thing is that might be true. I have "an excuse" to really take leave after I finish school, and I have cleared 2 months straight of leave if need be. My secret goal is to use little or no leave, and then vacate...I mean vacation...

hmm so when are you going to sleep and use the bathroom??? haha. I love having to do lists that are long as hell though, because when I see that I am making progress it makes me do more on the list.

I just hate forking over to dinero from time to time!!

I've got an interesting list as well...Maybe for my own sake, I'll make a detailed version. Have to say, having a PocketPC phone has helped alot to make sure that my tasks don't get finished. One thing I can say is at least all of your list seems self imposed (generally - work stuff falls under that category to me). The number of items on my list that I have to do for my family is possibly as large as all the others, and that gets frustrating at times.

I'm neglecting my family. I didn't put down that in Feb I might spend time with my dad after his surgery - another story.
