First guy in a sprint relay race-Olympics? The gun goes off, I start running, and forget the baton. I go back to get it, and the race is lost. Walk around afterwards-it’s like the driveway at US or some park.

Yet again, time to go home

4:17 pm-Yet again, time to go home. Earlyish, because it’s a holiday Monday. So, home, play, kids to bed-Matt’s getting settled better, dinner, tidy, up late transferring files. Up today, to work, waves, lunch, more waves, downloads, time to go home. Salem’s birthday on Sunday.

5:24 pm-Time to go home. I feel better today. Got some stuff accomplished, too-check Twitter for the blow-by-blow. I’m also working on getting offsite, off-hours work. One is a potential, gotta hustle more on linkedIn. Plus x10hosting, and the other job boards. OK. So yesterday was: Costco for a pizza, hurry home-Erika had a school meeting, dinner, play, kids to bed, dinner, TV, bed. Up late today, let the boys sleep in, here late, forgot my keycard so I had to wait around, worked on dblink stuff, phone con about offhours stuff, lunch, locked out, refactor, done, add to resume, Lassu emails, add show. Time. To. Go.

10:06 am-I’m really, really tired. Headachy too, and an upset stomach. I hope I’m not coming down with something. Maybe it was going to sleep and Erika coming in and watching “What’s My Line” and me having restless legs. Last night-home, kids dinner and to bed, computing, dinner, TV, bed. Up today, kids up, to work. A phone call.

5:45 pm-Time to go home-still a bit headachy, hungry, too. I have to go pick up a pizza. Work was work-trying to track things down, lunch, meeting, startup on another one. Problems with dbLinks in Oracle, locked my account up.

Church Sunday, market. Work yesterday, school meeting afterwards at Sellwood park. Went to bed earlyish-school routine-no TV or computer for the kids. Time to go.

At school, trying to sneak in to a locked area. Get in, they’re cleaned out. Chat with one of the secretaries (Lendie L?)
Going to a funeral at the Sterncrest house. Walking down Lander with a bunch of people-it starts to rain. I run ahead and start getting towels. Everyone arrives and start barbecueing in the back lawn and driveway. I wander around checking on things.

In Tokyo, walking around a train station-look out to a nice hillside view. Walk over to a zoo-like area, go up a hill and there’s an odd creature. Someone says it’s dangerous and we start going down the hill. It comes after us and I hide behind a tree. It comes and I move to another tree-it’s huge. Finally it runs into a big tree and is knocked out.
At old school, Maysoun is packing. I chat with her and she’s looking for something. I walk over to the office and look through some stuff there.

12:46 pm-Monday. At work. Tired. There was a nice thunderstorm this morning-I didn’t want to get up. Pretty quiet weekend-it’s been very hot, so the thunderstorm was nice. OK. Friday-home, hang out, water, bed. Up Sat., school pool party, drove around, Erika got a grill, made Bette’s Diner pancakes, kids to bed, water. Up Sun-no church, drove around, market, yummy lunch, more driving, picked blackberries, grilled, kids to bed, water. Up early to a thunderstorm-to work. A few things coming up.

On a bus with family, messing around

At school, talking about a pool support that’s going to collapse. Walk over to a music room, close the blinds, try to sleep under a piano.

3:25 pm-Back from a meeting. Whoopee. Working on a design for automating the CR I just finished. I forgot to mention that Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes died, and the troubles in Georgia (the nation). Money got put in, but I’m reluctant to spend it-it’s for bill payoffs. Recap: Mon-work, lunch, work, home, kids, bed. Tuesday: work, meeting, lunch, work, home, kids, bed. Watering the far bit, trying to tidy up things. Need to pick blackberries tonight. Put my dream journal into AJAX. Person is coming back with questions about the invoice. Waiting on an expense reimbursement.

Outside moving a piano-have to maneuver the feet over a lip. Steve L is there and I start to play drums-he doesn’t like it and orders me to stop. I convince him that I’ll drum in unusual ways-I start playing with the percussion.
