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-this is an interval-2 months? No worries-like I always say, I’m the only one who looks at this… I suppose in some future time that may change, but right now no one cares about my exciting life. It is nice to have a record of the time, so when I get old I can read about it. Not much going on-we were planning to take a real vacation, but changed to spending the holidays in L.A. I haven’t taken a real vacation since the 80’s skiing at Winter Park after hanging out with Al in Vail and doing a bunch of coke. Aaaah, those were the days.
Been slacking on this…(5/13) 2nd shot last week, was awfully foggy the next day. Working the fitbit, meals and everything. Hopefully I’ll lose some weight-walking or running every day. Making progress-on the way to 11 min miles. Need to start the weights and t’ai chi. Not much else, work, that’s it. E had bad vertigo and slurred speech last week-spent a night in the hospital-not sure what caused it. Read Moon is a Harsh Mistress for the first time. Need to clean this weekend. E fixed up the back porch. Filed my taxes…M and C too. C is working at Vicky’s. E got me a iPod Nano for running-it’s adorable and perfect. Been thinking what I would take if I was leaving for the job at AIM now…
Sat. afternoon, sitting on the porch. S got their shot today. Not much else-tough run last night, TJ’s Indian food after. Late deployment/test, checked another one today-looks fine. Starting tidy. Warm today. Going to visit parents end of month. Done with tidy-only bathroom left.
Sunday noon, drinking coffee on the porch. E is at a funeral. Hanging out in a new to me happi coat-it’s all like little adverts from a Chinese newspaper. Bright, sunny day, probably going to be warm.
Wednesday early evening, walked, it was cold. Nice, though. Another usual week, S got skates. C is probably moving out and in with gf. Visiting parents next weekend.
Sunday late afternoon, hanging out. Worked some Friday night, yesterday and today. Went to a protest with E yesterday, Ikea, yummy burger. Watched John Wick 3 last night. Went skating with M & S today, finished up work. No running Friday or today. Not much else.
Monday evening, watching curling. Didn’t walk because it was raining. Tuesday after work. Getting used to the swipe way of writing. Need to go run. Rainy all day.
Wednesday evening, June 2nd, almost bedtime. Been very hot the past 2 days. Not so bad now-I sealed everything up at about noon. Busy weekend, flew down to LA to visit my parents. Super early flight both Friday and Monday-lost a lot of sleep. Other than that, pretty quiet, hanging out with mom, dad sleeps a lot. E had one of those dizzy episodes Friday morning. Went to the Hat Saturday afternoon. Walked around the block every evening. No running since last Tuesday. Hopefully it will be cooler Friday. Played with the QY100 on the flight down. Need to do that more.
Saturday the 5th, afternoon, hanging on the porch. E got me a Jamba juice. It’s a lovely day. Ran last night-faster. Went to a higher breathing rate-more o2=faster? Maybe-it works for climbers on Everest in the death zone, why not me??? Slowly tidying. Not much else.
Thursday evening, 6/10. Not much happening, E got a gift from her sister. We might have enough for a house on FHA. Been cool and nice for walking and running. Got a new desk for work, replaced the kitchen table. M is getting a new bed.
And here it is, July 4th weekend. Totally been ignoring this. Not like much has been going on, though…except for the heat wave last week-it was a furnace out there. Kept it pretty cool in the house, so not horrendous. Visited the office, had a whole bowl for lunch. E had another dizzy episode Friday and spent the afternoon in the ER. Been slacking on pretty much everything else. Rick and Morty is back, bike racing is on. Consolidated more on the tablet. Got a new fridge today-old one was keeping fridge too cold, freezer too warm. A condo collapsed in Miami.
Sunday the 4th-Happy Treason Day! I wonder what things would be like if the Revolution hadn’t happened… So, worked out at the gym Friday night-not so easy on the treadmill, sore arms. Busy running around yesterday and today. S’s bed has mold on the bottom-sprayed it with bleach, got a frame-doesn’t quite work. Watched bike racing, went to the market and binz-got another running shirt.
Wednesday evening, watching the Tour. Nice day, went for a walk. Skated with S last night at the park after working out. Feeling better on the treadmill. T’ai chi-not so much. Have to look it up. Still watching my food. E tidied her area a bit, then the outside closet.
Tuesday morning (7/13), in a sprint planning meeting. Been busy-ish, need to call this. Pretty quiet-just exercising and trying to keep things going. We’re thinking of going to L.A. for Christmas. Library is open, went to the market Sunday. More Tour, Haiti got an evacuation order from the security newsletter I get (from the Huron days!), Rick and Morty, work, skating with S trying to get them ready for roller derby camp. Slowly losing weight.

Not so bright: yeah, no.
Page 23, sentence 5: “Took algebra from him and by time we reached cubics I corrected his probs as often as he did mine—but he charged into each lesson gaily.” The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I read a bunch more, not going to write them down.

Haha, not the only one who reads this 😊
