What was my password again?

As a testament to my blog neglect, it took me about ten tries and two Recaptchas just to log in with the correct e-mail address/password combination. Considering I have four addresses and three passwords I use consistently, I guess ten tries still beats the odds. No, wait. It doesn't. Math.

I've fallen victim to the blog paradox; when life is full of stuff worth writing about, it's too full to blog about it. This is my first Sunday in a while that I don't have better things going (by choice), so now I can recap the last two months:

Took final Architecture Registration Exam March 15 --> Found out I passed April 1 --> Final application for registration approved by the State April 9 --> was upgraded to Architect membership by professional organization April 11 --> received single lump-sum bonus from work April 30.

Was told by landlord that the condo I rented was being put on the market January 2 or so --> Got fed up with landlord's and Realtor's lack of respect for my privacy and possessions and bitched about it continuously through January and February --> was given 60-day notice late February --> Found nearly reasonable rent at Oberlin Court in early March --> moved March 27 --> got full security deposit returned April 27 --> landlord's condo still on the market today.

Started working on psychiatric hospital project at work in early December --> 50% DD deadline in... late February? --> work like gangbusters for last two weeks to make 100% DD deadline --> DD deadline pushed off at (literally) last minute --> ???

played volleyball Tuesday nights at Y and some additional nights indoors or outdoors --> still going

Christmas with Mom & Steve in the keys --> visit to Virginia family early February --> visit from Benj's family late February --> visit from Agurkis family late April --> meet up with Dad & Maryann in Virginia literally the next day --> heading back to Mass for a Memorial Day visit and meeting first step-nephew Owen

There's been other things--mentoring at NCSU, students' ULI competition team winning the national award, a few First Fridays, lots of drinking, AIA committee stuff, etc. etc. But let's consider ourselves sufficiently caught up and go from here, mmkay?
