the code finally went out tonight. though the project isn't over yet, the bulk of it has been completed and i can breathe a sigh of relief. am i feeling that post-delivery high? at this point i still can't feel anything, it'll take a while for me to get back to normal. i figured i'd be released from my contractual obligations, but todd seems to still want me to stick around. i can do that this week, but come next week i'd like to work from home and reclaim my independence. this month has taken a toll on my body. i think i'm coing down with something (running nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and throat), and i've got the worst back pain from hours of coding with a bad posture. and i still need to go see a doctor about my possible skin cancer. my life's been so uprooted, it actually feels strange not working tonight. what will i do with my free time now? the two programmers at work today (brian and myself) had on matching outfits, orange t-shirt and blue jeans. i had gnocchi for lunch (from that italian place off the longfellow bridge), then beef noodle soup for dinner at my parents' cafe. i also went out for a run today, first time in a while. slowly working on some unfinished weblog entries, then fading off into the night.
