Work was much, much better today.

Emily and I have been eating lunch together every day, which has completely spoiled me. She’s turning into quite the little cook, and I have to practically drag myself away every day when it’s time to go back to work. Since she’s been working second shift, I’m usually asleep by the time she gets home, and lunchtime is really the only time we have to see each other during the week.

I’ve been teaching myself Ruby at night (while listening to opera(!) on NPR). It’s coming along easier than expected – I guess I know more about basic tenants of programming than I thought, and it’s a very intuitive language. I also learned recently that the library offers free online access to Rosetta Stone, so I’ve been half-assed trying to learn Spanish. I think I’m going to tell the neighbor to only speak to me in Spanish, so i can pick up on conversation skills.

I must have stayed up too late last night (or maybe drank too much cider) – I couldn’t drag my self out of bed today to go run. Tomorrow, though, it’s on.
