*Yawn* Little one is in the throes of the 4 month sleep regression. I'm feeling it.

We close on the house tomorrow. Then it'll be time to get to work. I predict much tired in my future.

interesting. my dad still dives a lot (more now that he's retired). right when he retired he got fitted for a dry suit. i'm not sure which trip it was for, he's been to a bunch of places to dive since then.

back to work (from home). over the holidays corporate put us at status red which means remote work unless you absolutely must be on site (eg lab use).

Whatcha say there, sporty! My company's official flex/remote work policy is supposed to kick it at some point in January but teh OMICRONS are ripping through our workforce. HR still has not made any sort of announcement as to whether or not they are moving forward with said policy or putting that on hold. The new policy says we're required to be onsite three days week, which I am fine with once that's official.

also, sup doggs? I am WFH today in order to try and avoid omicron. No doubt it'll come through my kid's classroom or one of the "walking dead" sessions at the grocery store and not from a bunch of smart vaccinated people wearing masks. Still, lots of desk work and no lab work means STFH.

My drysuit days are over, shorts and a surf shirt is the diving attire for me anymore.
my dad is in his mid 70's, he pretty much decided he wants to dive as many places on his bucket list while he's still able to. he's been to great barrier, new zealand, bon aire, galapgaos. he's talking about going somewhere in southern south america next.

I dont particularly like diving actually, it is just the means to get down to detect the high profile zones of the beaches for gold and silver.

Woke up with URI cooties. Working remotely from on-campus office building (remote to the reading room with other people--this is just me). Figuring out if I can get COVID tested before Friday as I currently have booked.

I know it probably doesn't fit your timeline... but the kid's band program is doing a mattress fundraiser in late February - might save you some shekels if they have the model you want.
We're pretty close as it is. Got any details as to what they have? Email me if they have anything. I'm assuming Denver Mattress?
