Long Week

Whew, finally back in NY. Thank friggin god! I mean, I love my mom and my friends, but it's nice to be back home in the comfort of my, er, comfort.

I spent the week helping my mom with maintenance-type stuff with her shop. Since dad's away in the 'stans, I have to assume the role of "mr. toolbelt". Lots of painting. Lots of power tools. Lots of sweating and bleeding. I managed to transform my mother's shop from a chaotic mess into a zen temple. Or rather, what an american designer might consider a zen temple (without quite knowing what zen actually is, or how temples look). Anyway, work is done and now I get to think of all the BBQ we're going to have in my backyard this coming monday. WOOT.
