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!
This one took awhile. It’s been hot, and I haven’t been interested in maintaining a cadence on this. No worries-time is passing. I’m a bit tired, but I’m not young, so…
Midday Friday (4/15). All quiet, not so much work to do today. All the stuff we can test is working, the vendor deploys tomorrow, so Monday is another day of testing. Doing laundry, trying to keep the house tidy. Misplaced a sock. Played my Kronos this week-started a piece-stopped on a rhythm part, because the keyboard riff is in odd time. I love that keyboard-it can do so much-and the workflow isn’t bad, except you have to tap 4 times to clear a track. Friday afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon (4/19). Got my taxes done-underpaid because Colin moved out. No worries-will get it back with the Oregon refund. Or not-I just realized the Feds may take that too. Workout yesterday and Friday-going shorted to get more energy for the workout. Seems to work-indoors yesterday, on the road Friday. Quiet weekend-helped Erika at church Sat., church Sun. Shopping both days.
Wednesday night- time for bed. Busy day, dialed back the workout a bit- got halfway through the run and had to go to a walk, dropped the weights, sped up the t’ai chi.
Monday afternoon (4/25), very tired. Trying to get a mortgage loan pre-approved. Not much else-trying to get some work done-they pulled us into a rush thing, and the production deployment had some snags that we had to work around. Seems to be going OK except for the snags-they should be resolved tonight. Shortening and lightening the workout, shopped, lunch with the boys.
Wednesday morning (4/27). Not much going on-Erika and Salem are at an art museum with school, Matt is either working or at school, I’m sitting here working, sort of. Colin? probably sleeping or at work. That’s it-need to submit my loan docs-tonight maybe.
Monday afternoon (5/2), in a meeting. Pretty quiet weekend-shopping. Looked at a house. Got my 2nd booster. Not a great workout on Friday.
Friday morning (5/6). Trying to get stuff done, but not feeling great. Didn’t sleep well. Pretty quiet week-got to run on the street Weds., a mortgage guy didn’t call me.
Tuesday afternoon (5/10). Time for lunch. Pretty quiet-chatting with an ex-girlfriend from college, thought last night about Susan and that Oasis show and how I really should’ve kissed her, but was too baked. That would’ve changed things a bit. (edit-1/10/24: she didn’t realize I was in love with her-she just liked hanging out with me-bleh-kinda glad I didn’t kiss her…) Fine run yesterday-I hit just over 10 1/2 mins/mi. I’m way ahead of where I was last year. Also pushed the weights up one. Starting a walk thing for work soon too.
So it’s August first. Haven’t had a gap this long in quite a while. Now I have to remember what happened… It’s been very hot lately. Planning to go to SoCal late Sept. for my dad’s memorial. Via train, so it’ll be a change. Keeping up running and working out-got a new pair of shoes from the Woodburn Asics outlet for my birthday. I’m 61, don’t feel it. Got pre-approved for a mortgage. Got covid, but a mild case. Colin is moved back in, Salem had the play and their graduation and spent a week at camp. Took 2 days around the 4th. Doing the same for labor day and thanksgiving. Colin housesat for one for Erika’s friends. We did the sign at church twice. Watched most of the Tour-my man Quintana did well. One of these years he’s going to have it and win the whole thing. The women ran this year too, but meh. Had a windy day and flew at the local school-bumpy breezes. Fun, though. If I was able to get out more, might be able to improve some. went to Uwajimaya a couple of times.
Erika got in a fender bender parking at the binz-rolled into 2 parked cars. It was odd-one of the guys didn’t want to exchange info, and the other didn’t want us to leave until his “grandma” then “wife” arrived. Erika called the cops, a MPD cycle cop arrived, said we were OK to go, and we left. Filed the claim, got the estimate, and the ins paid out the same day. The car gets fixed August 24th. Erika had some soreness, but that’s it.
