I’m 22 minutes into my shift, and I haven’t had a call yet.

Oh, wait, there was the first one. I jinxed it for myself. Heh.

I made it to work in under an hour from Lansing. And I didn’t go much past 5 over the speed limit the whole way. I pretty much followed the flow of what little traffic there was. And yes, , 127 to 94 is MUCH faster on a Sunday morning. I was worried needlessly about infamous I-94 traffic.

My weekend starts tomorrow. Things on my list include holiday observance, oil change, hair cut, writing, filling out and turning in the app for my apartment in Ypsi, and most importantly of all, spending time with .

, you probably already know about this, but there’s a new repaint series of TF toys out called Transformers Universe with the RiD font. They have a repaint of the original Optimus Primal, so I’m going to have to grab it, no matter how dumb the repaint looks. I haven’t seen a Megatron yet, but I’m sure you’ve found it on the web already. Heh.

I figured Saturday traffic from the TWP would be easier, so I slept in for a half an hour this morning. I needed it.

Well, I696 was CLOSED for two miles. Parking lot on surface streets and service drives.

So, I decided to make up some time.

On 275, I was nailed by a state trooper. He gave me a ticket for 80 in a 70. I was lucky, he gave me a break.

If there was any doubt that I needed to end this commute sooner rather than later, it’s gone. Luckily, I’ve found the apartment deal of a lifetime, and am not going to pass it up. Ypsilanti, here I come.

Six hours of sleep last night and I still almost fell asleep on the drive here. I need to make sure that I leave IPM tonight by 10 at the latest.

I finished the rewrite of Chapter 5 last night and sent it out. Between calls, I’ve been able to brush up on my knowledge of Asatru. I’m well on my way to having enough knowledge for the character that’s being introduced in Chapter 6. This is going to work out very well.

I had some echinacea (sp?) tea this morning. I’m hoping to fend off the cold that has, as well as the one my Dad has. If I can keep it at this level of sick until it goes away, then I can at least stay functional.
