Please tip the writer<\/a>. 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!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

so it\u2019s been about a month. 2020 is here. The Christmas season is always busy, with not a lot of time for posts, and it\u2019s not like I have a big following. it\u2019s really the usual-work, home, etc. politics is still just a disastrous shitshow. The House impeached the orange menace, but that\u2019s all. He\u2019s flailing like a drowning man in the middle of the ocean, doing anything to distract. I have no idea how it will all end, but you can bet it won\u2019t end well. Anyways, onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday afternoon-had a yummy leftover lunch-no sugarrrr. E made a yummy peach cobbler from oatmeal leftovers yesterday-I\u2019ve been doing the usual Japanese rice<\/a> and oatmeal <\/a>for weekend breakfasts, so… We did have Biscuits <\/a>yesterday, and more biscuits <\/a>when we got the brakes done last week, plus also yummy cider<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weds. noon. Working through QA stuff-not my specialty… Got a lot done at home last night-kitchen, laundry, tidy. S had a hard time getting to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, mid-morning. Getting QA done. E did a bunch of purging and the house is messy. I did get laundry and kitchen done. She also picked me up a work, even though I told her not to-it took us a loooong time to get home. Friday on the way home. Got stuff done, but it was a struggle. Glad for the weekend. Not sure I can work out…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noon on Monday. Getting stuff done. A pretty normal weekend-no w\/o because my adductor is still sore. Went to the hot tub with E-she messed up her leg. Went to Cha-cha-cha<\/a> for dinner, shop. The usual, delivered wreaths to old church, church <\/a>Sun., Menchies<\/a>, home, laundry, kitchen, a little tidy and prep for Christmas-not really motivated to do much more. Thought about getting a massage, but the place where I’m sore is mighty intimate… E got us new silicone rings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weds. night-chilling on the bed. Worked out last night, pretty mellow. Still having twinges in my leg. Didn\u2019t sleep well last night. Getting work done, though. Not much else-doing laundry…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s Monday, at work. Got one thing solved Fri. Busy weekend-w\/o Fri. & Sun.-still sore, so walking and super basic routine, there are a few t’ai chi moves that aren’t fun, and some stretches too. Class meeting Sat., church Sun., and cleaning-the house is back to decent. The car…not so much. The usual shop, S went to Tiffany <\/a>with E & classmates for a gift, then to Peacock Lane<\/a>. S’s Christmas present, not a thing, but not for lack of desire. Need to get a flu shot. Watched Dr. Strange Sat. night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after a week, it\u2019s Christmas Day. Didn\u2019t get anything of interest. We did go to the binz and filled our stockings with fun stuff. Recap: work week was busy trying to get soap going-finally reverted to soap via web. Moved other stuff forward. W\/o, shop, tidy, cleaned the car, pretty usual stuff. Working from home this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haven\u2019t picked this up since, well, Christmas. And now it\u2019s the week after New Year\u2019s. And not much happened-quiet at work, M got a job, C quit his. M & S are back in school, a tree fell outside our building. Not much else out of the ordinary. At least in our small lives. The new library opens today. I\u2019m going to call this-I started a new book and got my small journal begun. I abandoned the Coptic bound one as too bulky-going with a small Moleskine type <\/a>instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Links\/viddys-brighter side:. Not so bright: don’t even want to go there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
