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!
Happy new year. Nothing changes on new year’s day. We’ll see how this year goes. The last couple have been challenging…but time marches onward, and you have to take things as they come. I have problems with accepting changing plans, so.
Wednesday afternoon (11/24) before Thanksgiving. Busy getting stuff done-made a lot of progress this sprint-the app is running front to back with no errors-missed out on one story, but I should make some progress on that on Monday if no one bothers me. Went to the doc Monday, got a scrip for high BP. Hopefully it will work with few side-effects and no fainting after workouts (my BP drops after working out…) Also the flu and shingles shots-I felt like shit yesterday. Erika got on me about not getting the Covid booster-not with flu and shingles too, thankyouverymuch. No Mr. Duck yet today. Listening to Glass, Eno on Spotify.
Sunday evening, in bed. Not much happening, pretty quiet for Thanksgiving. The usual, shop, run around yesterday, tidy today. I have a new to me burr grinder and a rice cooker. Worked out Friday and today after a little break. Lazy Thurs and Fri., worked a little, talked to mom, switched car insurance to USAA. BP is trending down. Watched the last episode of Picard.
Thursday afternoon (12/2), listening to the Mark Mothersbaugh interview. Not much else, worked out Tuesday, trying to keep everything tidy, doing laundry, working hard. Took Colin and Jasmine to get a Christmas tree last night and to Cost Plus and Menchie’s afterwards.
Monday noon. (12/6) Did a demo that I found about Friday. Went well. Pretty quiet, shopping, Salem to skate, Worked out both Friday and Sunday-a 5k yesterday. And…C got dumped by his GF. He’s devastated. I know this well. She moved out. So he’s coming with us to Cali. He spent the night Saturday. This is super hard for him. We’re supporting him through it-this is super tough. BP isn’t trending down-my diastolic is sub-80, but systolic still up around 150. Post-workout is super low, though…
And now it’s January (1/3) Totally bagged this. I’ll post another with the trip time line. The 2 weeks before were pretty quiet-busy working and getting ready for the trip. Colin came with us, we borrowed a larger car. Forget what else happened.
