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!
so it’s been about a month. 2020 is here. The Christmas season is always busy, with not a lot of time for posts, and it’s not like I have a big following. it’s really the usual-work, home, etc. politics is still just a disastrous shitshow. The House impeached the orange menace, but that’s all. He’s flailing like a drowning man in the middle of the ocean, doing anything to distract. I have no idea how it will all end, but you can bet it won’t end well. Anyways, onwards.
Monday afternoon-had a yummy leftover lunch-no sugarrrr. E made a yummy peach cobbler from oatmeal leftovers yesterday-I’ve been doing the usual Japanese rice and oatmeal for weekend breakfasts, so… We did have Biscuits yesterday, and more biscuits when we got the brakes done last week, plus also yummy cider.
Weds. noon. Working through QA stuff-not my specialty… Got a lot done at home last night-kitchen, laundry, tidy. S had a hard time getting to sleep.
Friday, mid-morning. Getting QA done. E did a bunch of purging and the house is messy. I did get laundry and kitchen done. She also picked me up a work, even though I told her not to-it took us a loooong time to get home. Friday on the way home. Got stuff done, but it was a struggle. Glad for the weekend. Not sure I can work out…
Noon on Monday. Getting stuff done. A pretty normal weekend-no w/o because my adductor is still sore. Went to the hot tub with E-she messed up her leg. Went to Cha-cha-cha for dinner, shop. The usual, delivered wreaths to old church, church Sun., Menchies, home, laundry, kitchen, a little tidy and prep for Christmas-not really motivated to do much more. Thought about getting a massage, but the place where I’m sore is mighty intimate… E got us new silicone rings.
Weds. night-chilling on the bed. Worked out last night, pretty mellow. Still having twinges in my leg. Didn’t sleep well last night. Getting work done, though. Not much else-doing laundry…
And it’s Monday, at work. Got one thing solved Fri. Busy weekend-w/o Fri. & Sun.-still sore, so walking and super basic routine, there are a few t’ai chi moves that aren’t fun, and some stretches too. Class meeting Sat., church Sun., and cleaning-the house is back to decent. The car…not so much. The usual shop, S went to Tiffany with E & classmates for a gift, then to Peacock Lane. S’s Christmas present, not a thing, but not for lack of desire. Need to get a flu shot. Watched Dr. Strange Sat. night.
And after a week, it’s Christmas Day. Didn’t get anything of interest. We did go to the binz and filled our stockings with fun stuff. Recap: work week was busy trying to get soap going-finally reverted to soap via web. Moved other stuff forward. W/o, shop, tidy, cleaned the car, pretty usual stuff. Working from home this week.
Haven’t picked this up since, well, Christmas. And now it’s the week after New Year’s. And not much happened-quiet at work, M got a job, C quit his. M & S are back in school, a tree fell outside our building. Not much else out of the ordinary. At least in our small lives. The new library opens today. I’m going to call this-I started a new book and got my small journal begun. I abandoned the Coptic bound one as too bulky-going with a small Moleskine type instead.
