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!
I know the answer to that… Pretty much rolling along other than the odd weather, and a lack of ca$h. Tip, please! The wider world is pretty messy, and I’m disliking some of it. Other stuff I do like, though. Pretty generic sentiment, that… Something’s coming? This is, though, to Portland! And I didn’t know this existed until last week! This is fun, though, and I know that area well.
Sunday night- time for bed. Pretty quiet weekend. Gym Friday, shop Saturday, Salem to school for a thing early. Picked up Colin in the evening. Slept in Sunday, vacuum, put grippy tape on the dining room rug, workout-dropped the intensity a bit. Watched The Last of Us with Salem, Battlebots by myself, Wartime Farm with Erika. Salem has a sore throat, as does Colin.
Tuesday morning (2/7). Working. Quiet day yesterday. Wednesday afternoon. Lunch time. Good workout last night-lowering the intensity so I don’t overtrain. Last minute prod change.
Friday afternoon, 2/17. Long weekend ahead. We are so out of cash. At least the house and the car are paid for this month. Pretty quiet for the last week-ferrying Salem back and forth-they’re doing stagehand stuff. Erika got a bout of diverticulitis-she hates going on a liquid diet. Did a change of pace cardio-rowing. I’m going back to run/hiit/alternate row-stair-bike-elliptical for the week. Prolly start on Darden’s too, if I can find someone to push for negative day. Not much else-got a bunch of books from the libe, lots of prod issues this week.
Tuesday morning, 2/21. Lovely day, going to be cold and snowy this week. Yesterday was a holiday-President’s Day. Right now, the only president I want to celebrate is Jimmy Carter. He’s in hospice. That man was a good egg. Pretty quiet weekend-blew the leaves off the front and back porches, moved the shitty grill off the back porch, cut the dead fronds from a perennial, vacuumed, put up a curtain rail on the back door, worked out. Got a new Fitbit-it has a heart rate monitor, so I’m back to fulltime Fitbit. Lost 4 pounds since the end of the year.
Wednesday, noon. It snowed a little, didn’t stick. Not much else-good workout last night. Elliptical and negatives.
Saturday afternoon (2/25). Pretty quiet-it’s still quite cold, they say more snow is coming. Salem is working the play this afternoon. Worked out early yesterday-didn’t want to get caught in icy conditions. Run and Basic Routine 1. Not much else-need to clean the bathroom today. Got The Nature of Order!
Monday morning. In meeting #2. Now out of meeting #3. Pretty mellow/quiet. Need to get stuff done. Got the bathroom cleaned, vacuumed. Fun picking up Colin on Sat. night… Worked out last night-intervals & BR2. Late to pick Colin up from work. Found a way to make t’ai chi take a half hour, and mucked up the time.
Thursday afternoon. Paid a bunch of bills, and got the power bill. About the same as last month. Good workout Tuesday-cycling and NR2-not many negatives I can do, but the bike is good-pretty close to a road one-narrow saddle, road-ish handles, the cool screen with stats and course segments-did a couple in France and one across the Astoria bridge. Was able to do a half-hour at level 4, interspersed with a few level bumps. My butt was a bit sore afterwards, but fine the next day. I’m much more of a cyclist than a runner…though skiing and tennis are really what I’m good at. Gamelan last night was 4 of us plus the kids. Learned another flower on bonang.
Saturday afternoon (3/4). Hanging out-Erika banged her hand with a mallet yesterday, so we’re going to get it x-rayed. Took Salem to school for the play-they’re doing tech this time. Decent workout yesterday-run and BR1. A little short of breath, but everything else was fine.
Monday morning (3/13) A week has disappeared. Not much happened, a bunch of workouts (3/5, 3/7, 3/10, 3/12), gamelan, ran around Saturday, work, production outages, Salem got a singing part, ferried them around, snow. Watched a pioneer challenge, battlebots. Put up a curtain rail on our closet.
The next Monday afternoon (3/20). Getting ready to end work, and this post. Another week, more workouts (3/14, 3/17, 3/19). We are completely out of money, and not paying bills on time. Oh well, I knew this day would come. Tried for a thing Wednesday, gamelan, nothing on St. Pat’s. Got a bunch of yard work done on Saturday-it was lovely. Cleared out a bunch of blackberries, cut down a bunch of holly. More holly to come-it’s all over our yard. My arms are all scratched up. Church yesterday-we’re finally official members, put down a run stopper thing, had to postpone the thing again-maybe Weds. Got a tetanus shot. Not much else.
