Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I&#8217;ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage.

ThankYouVeryMuch!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it only took 2 months to call this. I&#8217;m trying and failing to stay afloat. Only broke 3 days and one missed bill this time. Saved by Mathias. Hopefully I can hold on until Spring. Not much else-it&#8217;s cold and dark-the usual Fall-&gt;Winter. Time keeps passing, don&#8217;t really have a lot to say-I might have an app idea. The family is fine-just keep trying to stay on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday afternoon (9\/18), trying to stay motivated, but everything is done. Maybe I&#8217;ll just go and hang out on the front porch&#8230; Pretty quiet weekend-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9857415024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regular<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9857418735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Friday<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9870906519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sunday<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9870976748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workouts<\/a>. Tried to give blood Friday afternoon, but failed the checkin (Mad Cow was still on the file), Erika tried the sample, couldn&#8217;t. Picked up a new outdoor couch for the front porch. Took Erika to OHSU for a sample on Saturday, Next Adventure, binz, the estate sale where we got the couch. Picked up the couch Sunday, cash only-rrrrr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday noon (9\/21), Trying to start a new task, but have to wait on a prod deploy. No gamelan last night, messed by lower back up <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9883733015\" target=\"_blank\">working<\/a> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9884011771\" target=\"_blank\">out<\/a> on Tuesday, went to the Dr&#8217;s to re-up my BP meds. Such an exciting week-doing my laundry, need to take out the trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s now October (10\/4), Wednesday-time is flying. Not much going on, we&#8217;re into fall-the leaves are starting to change. Need to pull the AC units, etc. Trying to clean up a bit, keep the living room and kitchen in order. Really need to paint the south wall&#8230;and leaves are coming. Skipped a few workouts-Salem needed rides, Erika went to a church thing in Salem, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday, finishing up coding a thing (got it done and to UAT), then on to another thing (got that done, but not to uat yet). We&#8217;re running out of time. Ok gamelan last night, failed the lancaran bonang bit. Thought I had it, but no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday (10\/11), busy, can&#8217;t go to gamelan because Erika is taking the car. I don&#8217;t remember what happened last weekend, but it&#8217;s rainy and cold. Good workout-started late, so did a 5 minute fast tai chi, which was fun. Busy doing work&#8230; I did take a\/c units to storage on Sunday, and much around moving stuff in the bedroom. Trying to keep the kitchen clean-need to work on other house-related stuff. Salem had PreACT testing today. Change of plan-I&#8217;m dropping her off and picking them up. Still can&#8217;t do gamelan, I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday (10\/16). Busy, working on the same thing as last week. We&#8217;re totally out of ca$h this week&#8230; Decent weekend-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10034097573\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10034097573\">the <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10034117275\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10034117275\">usual <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10046685296\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10046685296\">work<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10046732798\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10046732798\">outs<\/a>, driving around Sat. to look at storage sheds. Mowed the grass and took out more a\/c units Sun. That&#8217;s it&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuesday afternoon-a very messy sprint end\/start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday (11\/6). Haven&#8217;t touched this, but it&#8217;s not a super long duration. Not much happening-Salem is one of the main puppeteers for Little Shop of Horrors, and we went to the opening last Thursday. They did well. It&#8217;s a decent show. Cleaned out the gutters on a too short ladder. I need a bigger one to put in the gutter covers. They switched our trash service to Thursday, and didn&#8217;t tell me. Saturday took Salem to Beaverton for a friends&#8217; show after their matinee, hung out at Powell&#8217;s and ate at an ok Italian restaurant. I tend to get one of the parmesan dishes to tell how good the cooks are-no veal, didn&#8217;t dare the eggplant, got the chicken and it was a hair overcooked. Eggplant has the narrowest range of doneness, chicken the widest. It&#8217;s like sweet and sour pork at a Chinese restaurant, and tamales\/chile relleno at a Mexican one. Hard to ruin, but also hard to get right. Have a week off starting Wednesday. Want to clean, put up the gutter covers, maybe get a storage shed. A week ago Sunday was Halloween at church-Erika made me help, and I was wiped out-skipped working out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday, taking a week off-it\u2019s weird being out in the middle of the week. Sitting in a Les Schwab because one of the tires has a slow leak. Slept in, meh breakfast at a patisserie in Sellwood. Walked around looking in the antiques mall. Need to get stuff done. Ok workout last night-did a 12\/3\/30-not sore today, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursday,  sitting in Schwab&#8217;s again.  They have to get the tire from another location,  so I&#8217;m sitting here with the tablet. Good gamelan last night, but I completely blew the start of one piece-guess my brain wasn&#8217;t in it&#8230; spent the rest of yesterday at the binz and food store. <br><br>Thursday night-watching a dumb TV show from 1970, but with Karen Valentine-simply a gorgeous woman. I think Harlan Ellison had something to say about this one. Busy day-new wheel, lunch, home, stuff to storage, shop, make dinner, get Salem, more dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday again (11\/29). We&#8217;re broke. I need to read my stack of library books. Nice time off, got stuff done, but got some downtime too. Took Salem to a play in Gresham last Saturday, a thing, they got a ride to school afterwards, picked them up there. Erika rented a truck to bring up a bed for Salem from Salem, got me more Gatorade-I like the cucumber lime ones after working out. Couldn&#8217;t work out last night-gym was closed for electrical work-worked out the rest of the days last week. I think I&#8217;ll call this. Claire broke up with their girlfriend-some drama, but they got over it pretty quickly. Had Mediterranean food for Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Page 23, sentence 5: \u201cThe problem is our minds are so locked in one frequency, it&#8217;s as if we can only see at 78 rpm; we can&#8217;t see anything at 33\u2153.\u201d <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0385260946\" target=\"_blank\">The Fifth Discipline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it only took 2 months to call this.
