We need to paint S&#8217;s classroom this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only rarely post political stuff (I used to), but this is a pretty cogent analysis: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomdispatch.com\/post\/176466\/tomgram%3A_andrew_bacevich%2C_the_president_as_pimple\/\">The President as Pimple<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday first thing. Very tired-there was an electrical storm at 3, lasted for a good half-hour. One bolt was very close. I got up on time this morning, but bleh-really tired. Mid-Thurs., I&#8217;m dragging. Getting stuff done, but my brain is super foggy. Took an aspirin, had some chocolate-helped a bit, but I have a recurring tension headache too, hence the aspirin. Time to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday morning. Long weekend. Paid bills. Not horrendous, feeling OK, but that could be the coffee talking. I&#8217;m choosing to ignore all the bad stuff happening in the wider world. Going to paint the classroom tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday noon. Back at work after Labor Day. Pretty mellow weekend-painted the classroom Friday, checked Sat, lazy-shop, took S to friends&#8217;, church Sun., pulled tape at school, tidy with M on Mon., S&amp; E went to school for finishing up, no w\/o at all during the weekend. Watched hurricane coverage-big, stalled out right on top of the Bahamas. Looks like it&#8217;s heading north now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weds. morning, very tired, on a scrum call. E fell off a chair at school last night while putting up drapes and hit her elbow on a bench. We spent the evening in the ER-nothing broken. Home, clean up, shower, so not in bed until 12:30. Woke up a few times-E realized she hurt her ankle too, and is achy all over. Good w\/o, though, and dinner was yummy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday, coming up on noon. Finishing up my stuff. E is still messed up from her fall. Pretty quiet otherwise-thinking about life and what the point is. Anyways, time for a &#8220;break&#8221;&#8230;and lunch, and my stuff is done. Dreamed about Stacey Royster&#8230;Woke up very cold, rolled over into the comforter and right back to sleep-aaaah, fall is coming. The storm is moving up the Atlantic coast, and the Bahamas got flattened. Went through one of those in the 80&#8217;s when I was living in the Cayman Islands-<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Gilbert (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hurricane_Gilbert#Cayman_Islands\" target=\"_blank\">Gilbert<\/a>, so I know from storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday, morning, listening to live gamelan-Pujangga Laras doing an 1000 day memorial. A sublime Jineman Kandheg. Not much else-signed up for benefits, but I&#8217;m not sure it took-need to check. I think I&#8217;ll call this-at about a week tempo. Need to practice-just keep having chores and laziness get in the way. Refactored a bit-missed two things and put in batch inserts, a few more changes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Links\/viddys-brighter side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/jerrypleasure\/status\/1167331028186234880?s=21\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Not so bright: don&#8217;t even want to go there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Page 23, sentence 5: &#8220;Composed of molecules  called amino acids, which are the building blocks of life, proteins play a major role in every cell in the body.&#8221;, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The only 127 things you need (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1585426814\" target=\"_blank\">The only 127 things you need<\/a>, &#8220;As members complete the Steps, Personal Power Cards are awarded (explained in Part Two, Step 6 of this book).&#8221;, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Change Your Life Challenge (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1402212402\" target=\"_blank\">The Change Your Life Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pretty quiet Weds. night-brie &amp; p\u00e2t\u00e9 for dinner, S went to a joint birthday party and just got back sunburned, updated my portrait animation, uploading to storage unit.
