My MO for this is to do the life unfolding, then come back and put a paragraph at the top just before I publish. This is that paragraph. I usually talk about politics or how I feel. Since it’s Thanksgiving week, that. I don’t feel it, though. Tired, just tired. I don’t like the contracting grind-no vacations, because I don’t get paid if I take time off. I’m having nice chats with my oldest-that’s really nice. My niece might visit over Christmas. She’s had it rough. We’re trying to be here for her. OK-time to post.
Thursday. Another day-gamelan was fine. I want to play suling, but need the patterns. No choir.
Friday-stepped into something last night, but was able to resolve quickly. Trying to finish things up-I got a new laptop, and I have to install 2 versions of websphere and 2 versions of eclipse, then set it all up. The proxy is throttling, and the same on the VPN, but I got Websphere done. Usual weekend-cleaning, laundry, etc. Worked up the bass for an easy song that we didn’t do, but had the chart for the one we did, so it wasn’t horrendous. Not much else, Sat. night drove C and a friend home from a haunted house in Beaverton-it was dark and rainy, missed 3 turns, but it wasn’t horrendous. Time for bed and another week.
Tues. on the train in. Nice to be able to do this anywhere. Got the installs done, starting the setup. Pretty much same ‘ol otherwise. W/o was negatives-I’m feeling it today.
Here it is, the next Tuesday. Totally out of money. And now Thursday. No gamelan, no thing. House turned Dem. majority, some gov’s as well. Good w/o, but I use this and I got some on my nose-not fun, that. Weekend was the usual, and Halloween, and 20th anniversary, and E’s b’day. System failure at work yesterday. Prod release got pushed. My new laptop is almost set up-so close. So close. Choir, but not going to play Sun.
Monday. Didn’t get much cleaning done. A little laundry and that’s it. Blew off w/o Friday, ate Chinese instead. It was yummy. Not much else-drove around, shopped. Burned a bunch of cd’s for E’s phone. Cooked, shopped, S to PWS for play practice.
Wednesday-banging out deployments. Now to troubleshooting-ok in dev, not in QA. Gamelan at PSU tonight-but first…nothing. C is single again. W/o-negatives, not so sore today. M had to jump the fence to get the key, and scared the sh!t out of S. I talked to E about it later, and they were laughing about it afterwards. Mindy was late to gamelan, but Bonnie let us in. My suling was passable-I need a lot more practice. Train home, M is stressed. E to Dr’s this morning. Work-things are going. My new laptop is pretty much there, except for web services in RAD 9.6.
Friday-finishing up a change, looking at ancestry-found a few ancestors of my dad’s mom’s mom. I have it almost solid up to my great-grandparents-a lot more further back on many, but I will never get more on my mom’s dad’s side-the records all burned up in the great fire of 1904 in Alesund, Norway. I also found that Nathaniel Parker Willis is a grandparent. That puts me at several famous/notable people in my family tree (Boone, Abe Lincoln, a CA Supreme judge, Howards, but that’s way back). Ancestry seems to have upped its game-they’re suggesting potential mothers/fathers…
Monday, short week. W/o Fri., skated with M & S for 3 hours Sat.-tired and blisters afterwards-S to a birthday party. Hometown Buffet with E & M & C. Bagged church on Sun., w/o too. Tidied, ripped CDs for E. I’m kind of sore today, restless sleep.
