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 another month has passed. Time flies when you’re old. No idea if I’m having fun yet. Spring is starting to make its way here-I cut the grass and trimmed some bushes-that’s a sure sign. I really don’t want to bring up anything else-I have this unbearable feeling of impending doom. I just cycle through work, working out, driving kids, cooking, cleaning and shopping, with occasional forays into yard work.
Tuesday, end of day. Fine workout last night, picked up Claire after. Still need to get more consistent on balance.
Thursday noon. Gamelan last night, pretty quiet otherwise. Some shuffling at work. A big miss by another team. It’s been cold, but not it’s going to be cold and rainy. Yuck.
Friday morning. Noon. Pulled back the reps last night, second day of level up on elliptical, sped up tai chi. My left hip is sore, and it makes the middle monkey unstable. Also had a glitch on the last fair lady.
Monday (2/3) afternoon. We’re again out of $$$-until Thursday. Quiet weekend. Messed up my hip Friday night sliding on the porch. Fine workout Sat., except for the whole hip thing. Some older woman started trying to mirror tai chi at about the start of the second section, which means monkeys. Naturally she stopped as soon as she tried one-it’s definitely not easy unless you’re used to doing those one leg stands, and even then it requires focus. Didn’t get dressed Sunday.
Friday afternoon (2/7), not really motivated. Truncated workout Monday, took Salem to PT Weds. AM., their play last night-12 Angry Jurors, and she’s the angriest. Just did so well. Erika was in Ridgefield Tues., so I made curry chicken. Otherwise, work, home. It’s been cold. Trying to ignore the news.
Saturday night-pretty quiet-paid bills, went to replenish oatmeal stuff, picked up Salem, that’s about it. Restarted the Darden routines-the 30-10-30 is pretty static, I think I’ll use it instead of negatives…I’m a little sore today.
Tuesday (2/11) Pretty quiet, again. Lazy Sunday, worked out early. Feel fine today.
Wednesday morning. Negatives last night-swapped in 30-10-30. A couple were a little light, had to skip tai chi to take Claire to a show.
Thursday afternoon-my Friday! It’s snowy, but has stopped-about 2-3 inches. No school, Claire’s shop closed. It’s going to be icy and bad tomorrow too. Pretty quiet otherwise. Salem went out and played in the snow with a school friend who lives close.
Wednesday afternoon. Pretty quiet, busy working. Erika killed the battery picking me up from the gym-had to get a jump from AAA. Not much else-worked out Friday/Sunday/Tuesday-messed up my hip last night on the leg curl trying to get the last rep in-heard/felt it go pop! Very painful, that-did it on a tai chi kick last time. The usual otherwise-driving around-shopping-binz.
Friday morning. My hip still hurts, but not as much. Worked out last night, gamelan Wednesday. Been hard to sleep, and upset stomach in the morning. Trying to tune out the mess.
Monday morning (2/24), trying to fix a problem that’s not us that’s broken. Quiet weekend, rainy. Made yummy milligatawny soup Saturday, skipped working out. Not much else, shopping, driving around-to Beaverton. Thinking about stuff. A thing?
Friday noon (2/28). Erika and Salem are going to Breitenbush for the weekend. Trying to decide what to cook. I’m thinking curry chicken and sweet and sour pork. And I think I’ll make the soup again-it’s like a nice hug. Been a messy week-messed up my hip again Weds. dodging the vacuum. Truncated workout on Monday, skipped yesterday because hip. Went into town Tuesday for a pep talk. Had to do a late work session last night for a prod deploy-the team that deploys AWS policies had an all day offsite meeting with no laptops, so it finally got done at 9:30. Nice gamelan, pretty quiet otherwise. It’s moving towards Spring-sunny and warm, though we had a lot of rain last weekend. Erika’s watching Brit TV shows.
Saturday night. watching Reacher. Worked out last night, picked up Claire, made curry chicken. Today, drove Claire to work early, cut the grass, trimmed a little, got Claire, made sweet and sour pork.
Wednesday evening (3/5). This app is such a pain. Not much else-Erika and Salem came home, made the soup too spicy, worked out Monday, not much else.
Thursday noon. I think I’ll call this. Helped Matt to put together his desktop last night-got everything in place, turned it on-nothing-not even the fan on the power supply. He’s returning the power supply to see-I can’t think of anything else offhand that would cause the power supply to not start. Plus there’s no 110/220 switch-it even wouldn’t start when everything was unplugged. We’ll see when a new one comes. If no go, it’s “pull everything and try super barebones”.
