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!
Well, it’s the start of December, and the shouting about the election isn’t over. Trump et alia is still whining, and failing at making a dent, other than riling up the base. Read an article about how Trump is peak camp, I don’t disagree, but he’s still damaging. Okay-trying to stay out of it until Jan 20th… Not much else-CV-19 is ongoing, everything is basically on pause until the vaccines are in distribution. Have my contract until April, so I can hang on, unlike a lot of people.
Election Day. Don’t really want to work. Cold, tired, it’s wet outside, and dark early, so I don’t really want to run either. E found a fitbit at the binz…pretty cool-we’ll see if it helps. Doesn’t do heart rate, which is what I really want.
Thursday afternoon. Just finished lunch, guys came to fix the bathroom shower pipes-meh job. Got my cpap-we’ll see how that goes. Don’t want to think about the elections.
Friday afternoon, trying to make progress. Now evening-need to run. It’s cold and wet and dark-never a good combination. Maybe I’ll jump rope instead. Got stuff done, though. One refactor to do. Not tonight. Wore the cpap last night-really not fun-panicked for a few minutes-it feels like you can’t breathe out. Got an hour in-just couldn’t get to sleep with it on-needed to get up this morning. Try again tonight-we’ll see.
Monday noon, so, so tired. I tried to get to sleep for 4 hours last night. Failed-dozed maybe once or twice. Just laid there thinking and listening to my breathing, adjusting the mask, turning over. Bagged running last night. Not much over the weekend-tidy Sat., switched bookshelves Sun.-got a few more books jammed in there. Most of Saturday was spent watching BBC News-they called Pennsylvania, and celebrations erupted worldwide-looks like the markets like it too-plus the speeches, and the whole Four Seasons thing.
Wednesday morning. Thursday afternoon. Later Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening. Friday morning. Friday afternoon. (Am I going to write anything today???) Nope. Monday morning. Start of sprint. Busy Friday, Quiet-ish weekend. Shop yesterday, laundry & tidy Sat. Mellow week too-mostly struggling to sleep with the cpap-just massive loss of sleep. I gave up after 2 hours last night. Changed to the bigger mask and that was better, shaved close, but it’s just so loud. I think I’ll try earplugs again. So, so hard. Got my contract renewed, though. Noon. I’m still not feeling well-M isn’t either.
Tuesday, end of work. E got a new keyboard for me-you can run it under a faucet. Rough, rough night last night. Decided to get to sleep, then put on the mask-instead didn’t get to sleep until 2, and woke up every time I dreamed. So 5 dreams listed. Blech. Going to reset my sleep schedule before trying the mask again.
Friday, in the scrum. Pretty quiet week. Finally slept OK last night-melatonin and valerian-woke up at 2 then right back to sleep until 7-dozed until 9-I’ll try the mask tonight. Neighbors across the way are moving out after 3-4 months-usually means the house purchase finally closed. The guys moved an upright piano. Got it down, but def. not a professional job-glad all I have is a synth and guitar stuff…and no stairs. Buy a case, roll it around-no problemo. Need to work on some projects-min list for a hasty departure, full personal and house inventories. Plus also bill pays, and maybe senior page and bio edits.
Tuesday morning. No bill pays, but bought a car on Saturday. S emptied out their room. Tried the nose thing-didn’t work. Still having trouble sleeping.
Wednesday afternoon-got the OK to quit early. Finishing up deployment and unit test coding. Got a Gecho yesterday…
Friday afternoon. Lazy day. Up super late last night, got up super late. M made beignets. Nice Thanksgiving-M and I cooked-everything came out well. Tidied, vacuumed, put stuff in the closet, S’s stuff in the hallway, watched crap movies. C and gf came over, both have to work today. Contemplating getting iPads for E and me.
And #diaperdon is trending on Twitter. No one is walking on eggshells any more.
Monday, start of sprint. No really motivated. Haven’t been exercising-contemplating going to Planet Fitness when it opens. Lack of sleep isn’t helping. A typical weekend-shop-Fubonn, Cost Plus, made chinese dinner Sat., watched Dune, more shop Sun. (E got a waffle iron, getting xmas presents) and struggle to get to sleep with the mask on-not easy…I think I’ll call this-been long enough.

Not so bright: don’t even want to go there (especially now).
