ThankYouVeryMuch!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My MO for this is to do the life unfolding, then come back and put a paragraph at the top just before I publish. This is that paragraph. I usually talk about politics or how I feel. Since it&#8217;s Thanksgiving week, that. I don&#8217;t feel it, though. Tired, just tired. I don&#8217;t like the contracting grind-no vacations, because I don&#8217;t get paid if I take time off. I&#8217;m having nice chats with my oldest-that&#8217;s really nice. My niece might visit over Christmas. She&#8217;s had it rough. We&#8217;re trying to be here for her. OK-time to post.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday. Another day-gamelan was fine. I want to play suling, but need the patterns. No choir.<br \/>\nFriday-stepped into something last night, but was able to resolve quickly. Trying to finish things up-I got a new laptop, and I have to install 2 versions of websphere and 2 versions of eclipse, then set it all up. The proxy is throttling, and the same on the VPN, but I got Websphere done. Usual weekend-cleaning, laundry, etc. Worked up the bass for an easy song that we didn&#8217;t do, but had the chart for the one we did, so it wasn&#8217;t horrendous. Not much else, Sat. night drove C and a friend home from a haunted house in Beaverton-it was dark and rainy, missed 3 turns, but it wasn&#8217;t horrendous. Time for bed and another week.<br \/>\nTues. on the train in. Nice to be able to do this anywhere. Got the installs done, starting the setup. Pretty much same \u2018ol otherwise. W\/o was negatives-I&#8217;m feeling it today.<br \/>\nHere it is, the next Tuesday. Totally out of money. And now Thursday. No gamelan, no thing. House turned Dem. majority, some gov&#8217;s as well. Good w\/o, but I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baselinenutritionals.com\/essential-relief.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> and I got some on my nose-not fun, that. Weekend was the usual, and Halloween, and 20th anniversary, and E&#8217;s b&#8217;day. System failure at work yesterday. Prod release got pushed. My new laptop is almost set up-so close. So close. Choir, but not going to play Sun.<br \/>\nMonday. Didn&#8217;t get much cleaning done. A little laundry and that&#8217;s it. Blew off w\/o Friday, ate Chinese instead. It was yummy. Not much else-drove around, shopped. Burned a bunch of cd&#8217;s for E&#8217;s phone. Cooked, shopped, S to PWS for play practice.<br \/>\nWednesday-banging out deployments. Now to troubleshooting-ok in dev, not in QA. Gamelan at PSU tonight-but first&#8230;nothing. C is single again. W\/o-negatives, not so sore today. M had to jump the fence to get the key, and scared the sh!t out of S. I talked to E about it later, and they were laughing about it afterwards. Mindy was late to gamelan, but Bonnie let us in. My suling was passable-I need a lot more practice. Train home, M is stressed. E to Dr&#8217;s this morning. Work-things are going. My new laptop is pretty much there, except for web services in RAD 9.6.<br \/>\nFriday-finishing up a change, looking at ancestry-found a few ancestors of my dad&#8217;s mom&#8217;s mom. I have it almost solid up to my great-grandparents-a lot more further back on many, but I will never get more on my mom&#8217;s dad&#8217;s side-the records all burned up in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%C3%85lesund_fire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the great fire of 1904 in Alesund, Norway<\/a>. I also found that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nathaniel_Parker_Willis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nathaniel Parker Willis<\/a> is a grandparent. That puts me at several famous\/notable people in my family tree (Boone, Abe Lincoln, a CA Supreme judge, Howards, but that&#8217;s way back). Ancestry seems to have upped its game-they&#8217;re suggesting potential mothers\/fathers&#8230;<br \/>\nMonday, short week. W\/o Fri., skated with M &#038; S for 3 hours Sat.-tired and blisters afterwards-S to a birthday party. Hometown Buffet with E &#038; M &#038; C. Bagged church on Sun., w\/o too. Tidied, ripped CDs for E. I&#8217;m kind of sore today, restless sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Links. brighter side: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amazlngnature\/status\/1056335549118726144\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">juggling otter<\/a>.
