Slow Afternoon

G'afternoon... it's been as slow as I thought it would be. There has been one filing that came in today, but I didn't get it until around lunch time and it's 50 pages... so I think I'll procrastinate a bit. Instead, I'm filling out the Hockey News projections for the Hockey Pool this afternoon. It's my small project that I have going on. I got all my billing done this morning and also took back all the bottles and cans to the bottle depot from the office. A solid $7.90 worth... wowsers.

That's really been the basis of my day today. Nothing really special. Tonight, I wanna do some of the programming for my Draft Day. I'll more than likely use a lot of the same programming that I used last year in Excel, using PivotTables to show all the teams as I go along and draft. They were very useful last year.

Ahhhh... just went and got a couple slurpees for Fred and I. That's better. The last few hours won't seem quite as bad now. Mmmmm... cream soda.

Tonight... to begin a conscious effort not to go to the pub. I'm going to try and beat my own reasoning with a little will power tonight. I shouldn't go... shouldn't drink... shouldn't try and contact Ashley... just keep it on the down low. Work on the draft... maybe get a case of beer for the house instead... cook up some pasta... give it a good go at home. Saying that... with Jen being sickly ill last night, I have no idea what's in store for me in that department. I might have to hang out with Chris to avoid any germ infection. Maybe even a skate will do me some good... that's a thought too. I know Julie wants to go some more while we're still in season.

I don't want my mind to get too complicated tonight... maybe a sleeping pill early in the evening will also settle me down. It was so warm last night in my room that I didn't even use my covers until 2 or 3am. It was quite unreal. I was dreaming like a madman too. Stupid playing poker before bed... I was dreaming about that almost non-stop. Argh.

One of these days, I'm gonna have to head up to Jersey City to see if I can find a Roberto Luongo jersey for the coming year. That's certainly one option... I wouldn't mind having a new one for draft day in 3 weeks.

Okay... I'm gonna take my randomness this afternoon and apply it to some mindless games.
