Please tip the writer. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java/database/AWS/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!
OK, I’m calling this. I didn’t finish the book I was reading almost a month ago, politics is a disaster, but I got paid, I think. That and FA for school will help. We did a thing at church to identify where you need to go, and one I came up with was a topic for blog posts. You know, like other bloggers do. Failed. Maybe next time. Time just moves onward, and I’m just trying to stay afloat. I might make it this month.
Tuesday, on the bus. At least I’m not stuck to seat 38 on Phydeaux 3… Now waiting for a train. OK, E missed her alarm, busy at work, M and S swam yesterday. L.A. teachers’ strike is over, shutdown continues. King Crimson isn’t coming to the PNW. That’s it for now.
Nearing the end of a busy day. Still no closer to a solution on work issues. Other stuff is moving forward, though. Gamelan tonight-I haven’t practiced suling at all.
Friday afternoon, picked up tickets for my middle and his gf. Not much else-need to tidy this weekend more. Gamelan was OK, not much else-my right shoulder is bothering me. Didn’t clean much, just enough to stem the tide. Need to practice more-not progressing on suling.
Sat. evening-working for an hour or so. Monday, noonish, at work. Tuesday morning, on the train. Still Tuesday, noonish. Wednesday morning, at work. I got nothin’, no $$$ either. Need to, need to…(fill in the blanks) Thursday morning, at work. And Friday morning at work. I really have got nothing to say.
Sat. night, watching skiing, on the iPad. The usual-w/o last night, t’ai chi-we’re holding for a little at 48 to solidify our memory. Slept in a bit, crockpot oatmeal for the family, espresso and chill. Tidy, laundry, bathrooms, vacuum, sweep porch, put stuff in outside closet, shop. E and S went swimming. Pizza for dinner. Working on load tests.
Monday, late morning, at work. Cold and rainy-E is reporting wintry mix at home. Seattle got some, but none here. Yesterday-rice for breakfast, C didn’t eat his, so lunch for me! Church, back and forth, binz, shop. Soup for dinner. W/o-worked hard. Getting more solid on the sequence for t’ai chi-this is non-trivial-we’re at #51. Snow is starting-S really wanted more-made object spells for a snow day.
Weds. morning, at work. Thurs. afternoon, almost gone. Snow over the weekend? We’ll see. Actually, it looks like snow for a week…a lot of snow. Friday afternoon, trying to juggle several tasks, waiting for the next big project.
Weds. morning, again. So the snow didn’t happen, but our washing machine sprung a leak Monday night and there was water everywhere. Got it all cleaned up, the maintenance guys fixed it. Pretty quiet weekend. Didn’t do much-a bit of tidying, oatmeal & rice breakfasts, wedding Sat., church Sun, up early for work Mon. W/o-working hard, my shoulder is improved, left knee still not OK-running seems fine, but I absolutely can’t do leg extensions. We’re up to the end of the second section in t’ai chi. Longest section to go. They want me to move my desk, but I think I’ll move back to where the test of the team is instead. As usual, short of $$$, but got past due bills paid. Long chat with my niece about spiritual stuff and her. She’s going down a very familiar path.
Thursday, on the train. Gamelan last night-new version of an old piece, played bonang panerus. April was alongside, and commenting how I was playing all sorts of extra notes. I was: “I’m playing more like a drummer-ghost notes and rhythmic.” I don’t know if it bugged her or if she liked it. Suling is progressing slowly-I can play 3 notes of the riff she gave me-the 4th is a bear. It’s the first note fingering, but up a 3rd.
