============

Man, this was a strenuous weekend! We decided that after we
now have a nice looking bathroom, it would be really nice
if we also could get back a fully functioning kitchen in
the part of the house that is not currently falling apart
(...a story for another time...), so we began planning
how to get the kitchen upstairs...

Well, let me just say, hauling kitchen components with my
wife three stories upwards while junior is having the time
of his life laughing at us while we are moaning, groaning,
cursing and somehow managing to get this stuff moved is
really a team-building exercise. Three days later and we
are now a few steps closer to living like somewhat sane
human beings with a working kitchen, running hot and cold
water and - you wouldn't believe it! - a dishwasher.

On other news: Either i have started to getting allergic to
something recently or another damn cold is approaching me,
today i woke up with a somewhat sore throat and feeling
somewhat beaten down. I am loving it...

What i absolutely NOT love is that i really have to
force myself away from any type of modern browser, the
moment my attention was not longer occupied by my little
work project (and its rapidly approaching deadline)
i immediately started to lose time on fucking Reddit
again. I am really sure this is how an alcoholic feels:
"Just one glass, then i will stop..." well fuck... i open
the damn page and start looking at one outrage baiting
post following the next and so on just to find out that
i have lost a few damn hours with rotting my brain again.

It may sound silly, but i have today disconnected my second
monitor at work and started working in a full-screen
terminal again to somehow overcome this goddamn "rage
addiction" again. Perhaps i should ask my boss to replace
my workstation with a vt100 :-D

Funny how time flies... last week we had a little chat
with juniors kindergartener (is this a word?), he will
next year leave his day care program and join a real
Kindergarten group, if there will be free slots he has
the opportunity to join a "Waldkindergarten" where the
kids are outdoors nearly all the time and can explore
the nearby forest. Unbelievable that he will turn three
next February...
