My ears have that funny filled-with-water feeling. That's likely because they're filled with water -- we had a three-hour outdoor Olympics event this afternoon at work, culminating in a water balloon war for charity (water balloons and pitchers of water were available for purchase, with the proceeds going to charity), and I got completely and utterly soaked. I got doused with at least two pitchers of water, as well as taking a water balloon to the ear, which explains the strange watery sensation. I also got roped into playing tug of war (heh), and the team I was on lost dismally. But, everyone seemed to have a really good time, and it was nice to take a few hours away from the day and do something fun, even if I did feel like I was back in college (enhanced, no doubt, by the fact that I was wearing my old Loro tshirt).
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful. I made it to work early but took a twenty minute nap in my car before going in, because I was so tired that I couldn't contemplate going into the building. I slogged all day, but after the Olympics I changed into dry clothes and went out for dinner with Terry (in town for the weekend), Natasha, and Chris. A good time was had by all, although I was disappointed that I failed to secure their promise to move to the Midwest in the future. Then, I drove home, did some random work, read for a bit, and am now going to bed. I took a few minutes to write down all the stuff that absolutely must get done this weekend, and it's rather crushing, so expect me to be in a ridiculous mood for the weekend as well -- but all in all, with the exception of one part of the conference, I'm feeling really good about everything else, so we'll see whether my high hopes are met. Goodnight!
