Recovering...

I've been back since Sunday evening, but going out of town always messes up my schedule the following week. You don't realize how much stuff you do on Sunday until you have to do it on Monday and Tuesday.

We fired off approximately one metric assload of fireworks on the Fourth. I got carried away at the fireworks stand and ended up buying way too much stuff (like this and those big "Pluto Invader" rockets).

My biggest mistake, though, was to buy some low-carb chocolate bars. I always seem to forget about the caffeine in chocolate. I don't do caffeine very well (it makes me cranky and irritable) and now I'm going through withdrawal, which includes a massive headache. Ugh...
