5:36 pm-I am done with this unix shell script monkey! Whew! OK. Late home last night-blew off a 1st grade meeting. Tidy, kids to bed, Colin sleepwalked. Matt in our room. Up today, to school, to work, postpone release-no testing time. Work, quick lunch, dev meeting. Coworker’s kids came in. Finished up this thing. It was bugging me.

Hanging out in a living room, cute girl likes me. She’s sleepy, so I take her up to bed. She tries to kiss me, and her shirt is falling off.
At the beach watching the skimboarders, no waves, then the water goes way out and there’s a tsunami coming. We run up the dunes, up the condos, through a house yelling to run. Red water pours from the roof. We stop, talk to some people and go back to help.
At a grocery store, hold it up. We run out, get in the truck, go park it and get away. I walk through a neighborhood looking for cops. Cross through a park and there’s a van demo. Look at it and there’s a cop there. She arrests me.
At US, walking up, see Bob Harris. Go into the locker room to poop, it’s a mess.

6:30 pm-Late here-tired. Needed to finish up the project-didn’t because the database shuts down at 6. rrrrr. OK Home, fix tire, bed, dinner, sleep. Erika got a new air bed. Up today, to school, work-bad traffic. Work, lunch, crash CR, meeting with beer. Back here, finish up crash CR. Try to finish up project, no. I’m drained.

5:49 pm-Going home-got a project pushed out. Nice. Still under the gun on this one, though-balky shell scripts. Not much else.Home, tidy, bed, dinner, bed. My air mattress expired. Hard to sleep. Up, to school, to work. That’s it.

5:23 pm-I have a lot to do tomorrow, but I’m not going to stick around today. Being at home is at least as important. Got one garden box done this weekend-we started late both days. Not much else-it was beautiful both days. Everything is blooming. The kids played in water, and are back at school.

5:18 pm-Time to go-just lost a bunch of work-clicked the wrong close box. Did it once, can do it again. Not much else-working through a cr. Got 3 movies for $15 at the company store. Erika dropped a 2×6 on her foot and is laid up. Rainy today. Glad I can sleep in tomorrow.

5:48 pm-Another day in the new office. My eyes hurt. Don’t quite know the cause yet. Not much else-Erika got lumber for framing the garden, we had donuts this morning and went out for pizza last night, Colin woke up dreaming, Salem continues to cough. Probably going to be insane on the road-they’re working on a crucial bridge and it’s mucking up traffic something fierce. Trying to get through my DN! backlog. Reading about Rosicrucians, they have the new code complete and a few other books in the library here.

Flying kites at Central Park-indoor kite. People are chasing it, and I have fabulous control. I lay it down and someone starts messing with it. I go up and tell him to stop and put the kite back together. I go down to the sidewalk and fly it between some walls. They’re planning a festival.
