Christmas Countdown begins...I guess.

I'm really going to need to explain why 28 is the second perfect number. I'm already 28, so I'm there. Explain.


Thanksgiving was okay. It's hard to have just a day off and then back at it. I wish that I lived in a life where I did not have to work to survive. Now, if I could work because I wanted to work, that would be different. But, I've never liked to be forced to do things, so I like to push against that. Don't work. Work sucks. Do something that you can do, just because you want to. Not because you'll lose your house and your life if you don't have the work.

I didn't have a very good weekend. I was crabby and touchy and flew off the handle at everything and snippy and tired and grrrr.....

Both days. Not fun. But, we did put up Christmas decorations and lights and things, so that was something. We also got my parents' "old" HDTV. My dad bought a bigger new one, so they very nicely traded us the old one for a different TV to put in their rec room.

We are also going to start our own rec room in the basement. We figure that we can get a 18 by 10 room down stairs -- good for TV and hanging out, I think. Hopefully, it will be warm enough when we are done. I think that it will be a good project for us this winter. Something to up the resale value as well. It will start right as you walk downstairs -- essentially creating what looks like a partially finished basement, but really is just a room built in the basement -- and there is a difference. If I showed you, you would understand. But, I'm looking forward to that after the New Year/Disney.

Disney -- there's another thing that weighs down on me. I haven't been running very much or well or anything. I'm not really sure how I'm going to finish the training for the running. I just have to drag myself out on the weekends, I think. I don't have time during the week anymore. But, another weekend went away here. I think that this will just be like the Discovery Run -- I will train right before I leave and just cross my fingers that I will finish. I did pretty well with 15k and the half marathon is only another 3.8 miles past that run. When you've done 9.3, 3.8 doesn't seem that much longer. I will prevail.

Well, I should go to sleep before I am up until midnight and I'm super crabby ass for work tomorrow...again...like Friday.

28 is a perfect number because if you add all of its positive divisors together (not including 28) it equals 28. So 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28. 6 is also a perfect number since 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. The next perfect numbers are 496 and 8128 respectively. These numbers were revered by the Greeks because of their properties. So be glad to be 28 :)

p.s. Could you remove my first name from your post. (I know I'm paranoid)
