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!
and this is a record of the time.
It’s February-pretty quiet, after a very busy and tiring December. Trying to keep an even keel, though Erika wants to move. Everyone is fine, Colin seems to be OK too. Trying not to pay attention to happenings in the outside world. It seems that jobs are good, inflation is not, Olympics are good, Russia isn’t. Then there’s the wacko Republicans and the orange shitgibbon. At least I’m going to the gym regularly…
Thursday, 1/6. Lots of people are talking about what happened a year ago today. I won’t. I decided to stop talking about politics here. Just too tiring.
Friday morning. Starting work, not much going on. Got back from the trip, laundry and lazy, Salem to roller derby that didn’t happen-went to the rink instead. To libe, picked them up. Dr’s visit Monday night-180#. The week has been mostly work and TV. Worked out Tuesday-still sore. Lots of people getting Covid now-Salem’s teacher, Colin’s roommate.
Saturday evening, watching Leverage: Redemption. Busy day-bought a new printer. Slept late-ish, shop, dinner, Erika had a thing. Good workout last night- hurried up the workout so I could get to t’ai chi before my BP drops. Got most of my work done this week.
Sunday evening, bedtime. Pretty quiet day, Erika had a shorter thing. Took Salem to practice, got canceled again. Glad I didn’t schedule my thing. Good workout-BP was good. Shower, dinner, bed. G’nite.
Wednesday evening, hanging out in bed watching crap TV. Usual day of work, looked at a house. Needs a ton of work. Lots of space, though.
Saturday noon. Erika is sick. Pretty quiet otherwise. Work, workout, that’s it. Got stuff done. Erika went back to the house with a realtor friend, and we’re passing-just too much work needed, including foundation cracks, mold, termites, a blackberry forest, an old buried oil tank, and they’re likely not going to take a realistic offer. I was dreaming about having my own space, though. Mike’s for dinner last night. My BP is looking good. My cholesterol is 215, which isn’t bad for me.
Sunday night. Hanging out in bed. Pretty quiet, got up mid-morning. Salem to derby practice, binz, picked up Salem-they’re improving. New Seasons, laundry, later workout because of it, shower, dinner, chill, folded laundry. 175#
Wednesday evening, watching Mission Impossible, season 1. Had to work out today-the gym was full last night. Not much else-one of Salem’s classmates has the ‘rona, so we’re waiting to see how it goes. Not much else, working. Tidied up on Monday. Trying to keep it going. Put my kites into an Adidas bat bag-I would’ve done this earlier if I had known they’d fit. Now I can put each into a separate sleeve, and the handles and line bag fit too. Erika broke our shower head. The house we looked at was pending, then not.
And now a week, Wednesday (1/26). Watching Battlebots on Discovery +, and Everest Air. We’re a bit short of cash, after 2 weeks of spending on vacation… Pretty quiet-negative ‘rona test for Salem, her classmates, not so much. Matt’s birthday on Sunday-delicious pizza, skipped workout until Monday. Got rid of the car Colin’s old GF had left. Still keeping the tidy up, thinking about how to consolidate things-Erika wants to move to a house-5 years here, that’s about the norm for her. Time to do laundry. We got a nice rain shower head.
Tuesday, (Feb 1st). Trying to get things done. Failing. Not really motivated. Pretty quiet weekend-Thai dinner Sat., tidy Sunday. Working out M-W-F now. Increased weights yesterday, not sore today. Salem’s classmates’ moms are now getting the ‘rona. Not us. Hanging out with Mr. Duck-he’s pooping everywhere.
Thursday-working through detailed UAT issues. Fun. Just did laundry, worked out last evening. Big fun.
Wednesday (2/9). Pretty quiet-watching some Olympics. Finished reading the sequel to Dodo. This one may have legs. Weekend was the usual-shop, libe, binz, drop off Erika and Salem at the mall for a haircut, picked them up after. Erika did a big pull everything out and toss, so no tidy, and the house is a mess. Working out MWF. Burned the wheat I boil for oatmeal on Saturday night-the entire living room was full of smoke, but no smoke alarm. Smelled like burned wheat for 2 days…Tested the smoke alarms, and they were fine-guess we caught it in time. Mr. Duck is hanging out here most of the day.
