Where in the world is Chuck Sandiego?

walbournIt was another busy week last week. I have three 'critical path' projects all happening at once at work, plus about a dozen other things, all for the next release of the DirectX SDK. It will be the SDK release for the RTM of Direct3D 11 and Windows 7, and I've been trying to nail down all kinds of loose-ends and update several aspects of the documentation, samples, and tools over the past few months. I'm glad we didn't have Gamefest to contend with in the middle of it all. To top it all off, I-90 has been closed down from an effective 5 lanes to 2 for two weeks heading Westbound which has made getting home in the evening a real mess.
While I don't feel as sick this past week as I did on the 1st, I still have a lingering cough and sniffles. It's probably allergies, which makes me wonder if I have had 'summer colds' regularly and always thought they were allergies. I also got the impression that colds were a winter thing.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlyeconomist was also feeling under the weather by last weekend, so we spent most of it hanging around the house and recuperating. And by recuperating I mean a combination of Alton Brown French-toast breakfast, mowing, watering, weeding, playing Lego Indiana Jones on the Xbox 360, and playing with actual physical Legos. Throw in a few meals out and a trip to the mall. Somewhere in the past week I also managed to strain my left wrist. Thankfully it doesn't hurt to type, but I've been wearing a wrap when I don't manage to lose it--it's too much like a watch which I've not worn in a decade.
Withcuddlyeconomist's birthday happening this week and Rhys heading home yesterday, we did an early dinner, cupcake, and presents. We'll be doing a b-day dinner with the two of us later this week before heading off to Summerstar this weekend, but Rhys was rather put-out at missing his mom's birthday so she ends up with two celebrations instead. Rhys went back to Houston on Sunday, and we had dinner that night with loree.
The yard is looking great, although the plants have a ways to go before they really fill the place in. We went to Alki Lumber today and researched fencing materials. I think we've landed on a design, the material, and a budget. We will probably get it started while Rhys is in town, but won't finish he first phase until later in the year. At this point, we will probably not do the 'shared' fence with the neighbors until next year, but it really depends on how soon the fall weather returns in force.
