Bottle conditioning - waiting stinks

I walk past my stash every day, waiting and anticipating that first taste.  The bottles have to sit for another week and it is killing me!  I tried to get a pic of the beer's current state, but it really doesn't depict very well.  Their is some settling going on, but the beer is quite hazy right now.  I did not use any clarifying agents with this batch so there will probably be some haze even when completed.  Next week, the beer should be markedly clearer and refrigeration will help as well.  In the mean time, I patiently wait.  I am already thinking of my next batch.  I will need to keep a rotation going to make the waiting less painful until I get a keg set up.  I am thinking Belgian for my next batch.  Maybe spiced a bit and higher ABV for the fall/winter weather.
