quick update on the weekend

So after a really shitty day at work on Friday, I got to go trench and edge at the parents-in-law. They're away in California, so the children are attempting to surprise them no end. The MIL will be very pleased that her pond in the back yard is almost finished. So, in the end, I spent the evening acting as playground for the 5 and 3 year old niece and nephew. I put my back out seriously swinging them around, but good time was had by all. Yesterday was bitsy stuff - mowed the lawn, did stuff around the house, repotted some of the plants, put the planters in at the end of the driveway, then retired hurt with my back. Today was even lazier, but I got some CCNA study in - I'm getting close to being ready to take it, and then I'll start cracking on the Solaris 7 and 8 certs, as well as the EMC stuff and MCSE2000+I. Stop laughing - it's only to get to do the Citrix Administrator/Architect certs anyway, though I think the active directory stuff would be very useful. Dislocated and relocated my knee while changing sheets on the bed tonight - I'm starting to swell like a mother and bruise, but I should be ok by tomorrow. Must learn to do things right with my right knee. Watched "Sex and the city" which amuses me no end, and I'm about to go to bed cuz I'm tired with all the heat and work that's been going on.
