5:22 pm-Time to head home to a nice chili dinner. Uneventful days-kids to school, work, home, kids to bed, dinner, cleaning, workouts, t’ai chi. Pretty steady right now. First grade meeting last night-made me get to bed late. Sorting my CD covers. Done. Onward.

There’s a fire at a house, the firefighters leave but there are still embers in the attic. I get everyone out and call the sheriff, who tells me that no one’s coming and the fire department will pay if the house burns down. I talk to the owners-we go into the kitchen-which has low ceilings and is cheaply done. They say the house isn’t worth much and I tell them it is. I walk around to outside and the back half is already burned out.

5:14 pm-The work week is ovah! Time to go home and clean, do yard work, plus whatever else I’m asked to do-exchanging paid work for unpaid work. Whoopee. Maybe I should work on the website… OK. not much new happening. A cool faceBook thing with making an album cover. Matt has the thing. Salem is getting molars.

Walking across and along a train track. A train with flatcars approaches and starts losing its wheels. They’re flying down the hill. We run away, to a river and over a bridge.
in London, going to a meeting-have to be across town. Walk to the tube station from a hotel. Go to get a ticket, someone has 100 pounds for me. I go to the platform, the trains flies by, backs up on another track, flies past again, backs up and stops. I get on, it starts, I realize it’s going the wrong way.

5:21 pm-Another day-busy. A few things to do now. Not much happening-home, kids to bed, dinner, TV, workout, cleaning. Up, kids to school, to work, lunch, work. Time to go home-it’s been rainy, the kittens are growing and so are the kids. The economy is in the tank. Listen to Democracy Now! Reading about the Indian wars.

Listening to: Bardo, DN!

In a hotel room. I have on lipstick and I’m trying to take it off because I have an interview soon. They’re also going to kick us out of the room at 2. I go into the bathroom, trying to hide the lipstick from mom. It’s all over my hands too. Holly says I’m late for the interview and gives me the phone number to call. I look at it and it’s for a school, not a job. I get mad and yell at Holly.
At a bar, get a small glass of beer from the bar and sit down. I’m only having one. I drink the glass and go to the bar to get another one. The barmaid gives me the whole pitcher and I go sit down again. She comes over to clean the table and we start chatting about making some fried cheese thing. Her boss comes over and yells at her about more work less chat with the customers. We continue looking at each other.

12:06 pm-Monday-light postings lately. No worries-I’ve been doing this so long that it’s not that big a deal. I may end up going historical-I have journal entries back to ’93. OK. Pretty quiet the past week-kids are back at school now. They did not do much, so my routine was: wake up late, breakfast, work, lunch, work, home, kids to bed, dinner. Whoopee. Went to a home and garden thing on Sat., church Sun. In the dog house Sun.

Listening to: Bardo, DN!

Fighting with the guys across the street. We go across and they’re shooting bb’s at us-they miss, but don’t hurt anyways. Go up the hill and disarm one-he falls down limp. I drag him away.
In a mall looking at a new product where you can sleep sitting up. The people next to us are trying it-it’s a TV with instructions. Go out to the car and get stuck in traffic-the guy in the video comes up and I try to ask him about which version of the DSM he prefers, but he passes right by.

At a reunion, go back to a hotel. The guy isn’t answering-we go and hang out in his room.
Driving with Jim K-we’re stopped at a light and he tries to get through by turning right and doing a u-turn.
In a thrift shop, looking through the stuff.

At work, putting back a slow data link. Unplug, climb some stairs, plug back in. Peter V asks me what I’m doing and I tell him. He says the change to the fast link has been authorized and I say no.
On the road with some band. Go into the hotel room and fool around with the shower. Get onto the bus and try to tune my guitar. They say the tunings are all over the map so I just tune it to itself.
In an aerobics class-we’re warming up. We do a balancing thing and I have the longest time up-I explain it’s because of tai chi and show off.

At a racetrack, race around, but it’s more like toy cars in a driveway.
At a Pretender’s concert, sitting onstage, tell her to turn it up. Some guy covers me with a sheet. I roll around, get up. Some tech tells me I could’ve been zapped. I walk towards the gate-a guy is being chased by cops. Fighting is going on-some boy tries to fight me. I toss him around and go back through the gate.
At home, kids’ toilet is stopped up-a shirt and stuff in there. I clean it out, flush, the tank overflows. I cry and yell for a towel-no one listens.
Go to a concert/meeting. Find a place to sit. Get my stuff and set it by the barbecue, talk to tech with the lighting and Rony. Everything melts. The concert starts and the kids are playing away.
At a school, twist some bully’s arm. All the kids want to learn how and I show them.

Skiing-going down a chute with ramps and stuff. There’s a jump at the end. Go past it to look around, back up to the jump. It’s too smallfor my skis. I get nervous, the guy tells me to sit down. I do and go down the jump, do a spread eagle and run into a glass wall. Go back up, then ski away down the bumps.
