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, an almost 2 month span. Been a lot going on, but still in the holding pattern of ‘rona. At least we have a mellower presidency. Not going to say much-seems to have lost some intensity.
Friday evening, 1/8. Boy, what a week! Who knows where this ends, but it’s not entirely surprising. Fanatics will do anything to keep their worldview intact, and when someone eggs them on, bloody massacres and genocide results. No shortage of examples. Just gotta make sure you’re not caught in the crossfire.
Sunday evening. Got stuff done. Got a nice bottle of champagne for the 20th and a small absinthe-so intense. M got a small bottle of bacon vodka and some bloody mix. So much political mess.
Tuesday noon. Got a Warcraft-ish app, busy playing that. The endless photo sortation is almost done. Need to load more music on my phone too. C’s laptop is dying. Parler got dumped from AWS, and everything got scraped. Can’t figure out how to get to the data, though-it should be on archive.org…but it’s not.
Wednesday afternoon. Politics is looking like the waning days of Nixon’s term-Repubs are running away from the Prez. The FBI is def. going after people. The only difference this time is that the base is not budging from their brainwashing. Not surprising, that-during Nixon’s era, this utter loyalty and broad based fanaticism didn’t exist. A consequence of Fox News and their ilk, social media, and the hardening of political boundaries.
Thursday evening. Working on the last photo task-longish one too.
Sunday afternoon. Continuing the last photo task.
Tuesday evening, sitting in bed, hanging out with wife. Getting through the last pics, need to write a bitty app to randomize the names to they’re not all in the same place. Then it’s finishing up the music. Waiting for dinner to cook. Got all the tidying done yesterday, work today-didn’t want to get up. Inauguration tomorrow-it’s at 9, so can’t drink anything much-mimosa and cheap splits.
Dinner is over, time to clean up and do the bedtime thing. E is in the bath-we’re watching endless Call the Midwife. Waiting for the next boat race-the Yanks put a big hole in their boat Saturday. Also waiting for my left pinky nail to fall off-bashed it awhile back and the new nail is coming in.
Thursday evening-1/21. Just finished a day-long deployment, rework, redeploy, and rerun tasks. My eyes hurt. E had a bad day-vertigo, bad dreams. Yesterday was super nice-up early to watch the inauguration from bed, mimosas with cheap bubbly. Work, then dinner-prime rib, potatoes, brussels sprouts, and absolutely amazing champagne-a 2010 Joseph Perrier Esprit De Victoria brut rose. Haven’t had that level of quality since London in the 80’s… Watched C-SPAN with S later into the night-Pres. & VP laying a wreath at the Unknowns with the other 3 Pres’s that are worth something and able to travel, 21-gun salute, driving back to the WH and walking the last bit, walking up the stairs of the Capitol beforehand. C-SPAN is so awesome because no commentary. Q folks are melting down.
Tuesday 26th, midmorning. Noon. No time yet to do this. Tuesday evening. Maybe later? Didn’t happen. Wednesday midday-not much going on. Didn’t do much over the weekend-cleaned our bathroom and that’s it. Need to do laundry. Dr’s Monday-got my growth frozen off, and a bunch of blood taken-looks like my cholesterol is elevated. BP too. Getting caught up on Snowpiercer. Watching skiing. And…they offered me full-time at work! We’ll see if they take my salary offer (didn’t, but got a little extra at the start).
Monday morning. Afternoon. Wednesday morning. Played my guitar last night-mostly old 70’s rock-that old girl has fabulous tone. S was curious and played a little after I was done. Lazy weekend. Took Friday off-we went down to Woodburn and got new Converses. Got in-n-out too. Went to Fry’s on the way home-they’ve blocked off half and rearranged things, but it was still deserted-I found out that they’re selling everything on consignment, which is insane.
Saturday afternoon (2/6). Up late, slept in. Tidied. Sunday afternoon, watched Mission Impossible 2nd season last night, had a whiskey sour, meeting today with S’s teacher. Laundry, lunch, needed a nap, didn’t get it. Some sportsball thing today.
Wednesday morning, making coffee. Now noon. Thursday afternoon-they’re saying it’s going to snow-no snow yet.
Friday morning-it’s snowing. About 2 inches on the ground. A layer of ice underneath.
Tuesday afternoon (3/2). I’ve really been slacking on this. I have no idea what happened for the past 2 weeks. The snow/icepocalypse, working, getting ready for FTE, that’s about it. We got Android tablets and E is returning hers after 1 day. Been on and off with tidying and cpap. Talked to my sleep doc. Maybe I should call this.
Links/viddys-brighter side.
Not so bright: don’t even want to go there (especially now).
