Here I am again. Another week gone, gone, gone. <sigh> I’m tired. I slept in today and I’m still tired. Dunno.
Here’s the past week: Matt did great with getting fillings. He got smoothies afterwards. Erika had a meeting, played with the kids at school-they play HARD. Parents visited for Matt’s birthday Saturday, went on a walk in Laguna Canyon. Church, Olympics, kids went to the jacuzzi Sun and Mon. Got a card and flowers for Erika on Valentine’s, she got the candy. And work, work, work. I’m also helping out with the computers at school, as well as updating the website as necessary. We’re probably going to change things up a bit there as well.
I’ve been slacking on my chores because I get up, get Matt to school, work, get home from work, put the kids to bed, eat, and work until bedtime. It’s tough-I had to take the morning off because it all caught up to me. I also have RLS, so sometimes I have to take a sleep aid, and my shoulders are getting better but still twinge a bit from time to time. Wrestling with the kids at school is fun, but my shoulders feel it.
OK, I’m actually keeping track of current events again. Coretta King died, and the funeral was big and long. A huge contrast to the one her husband got. Chimpy was there, and got jabbed by all the liberals, politicians included. Her daughter ranted about a cancer in the body politic and secular. It was a bit odd and out of context-disjoint and jarring. I kept going “what is she talking about” and “this makes no sense”. But it ended up she was going apocalyptic on us. Yuck.
Betty Friedan died. This was less noted than King, but no means less important-she was a linchpin of the modern women’s movement, much like King was for the black civil rights movement.
Borland is getting rid of dev tools. They’ve been signaling this for a bit, but need someone to buy them. They’ve been dying on the vine and getting superseded by Eclipse. Glad I don’t have to worry so much about that right now…
The Winter Olympics are this week-we watch it after the kids go to bed, and watched curling this morning. They liked it. Nothing really is striking me, other than that men’s skating is progressing, I loooove short track speedskating, and I wish I could ski more.
And the big one-Cheney shot a fellow hunter in the face trying to shoot quail. The guy’s in ICU, had a heart attack. There’s a bit of a dustup because he didn’t let local law enforcement see him until the next day. He gave a softball interview to RNC TV (aka Fox News). He had been drinking (no one has one beer at lunch.) There’s a parody of the Aerosmith song-“Cheney’s Got a Gun”. Heh™.
