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

Here we are again, the run up to the holidays. Thanksgiving is over, Christmas on the way. We are super broke until next week. Struggling with work stuff, and a nagging leg muscle issue. The joy of aging. I don’t want to think about the state of affairs-just dreading the next four years and beyond. At least I’m healthy-ish, my family is OK so far, I have a job and a place to live. I set up my guitar and stuff in the kitchen, and have played it a couple of times. Next the Kronos and actually making music?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday afternoon (10\/21). Trying to figure out this query-I think everything is obfuscated. I need an ERD… Shari’s is gone. Wonder if we’ll ever see the comet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning. Worked out for the first time in 3 weeks, so my leg starts hurting faster than normal. I really need to get it looked at. It’s definitely only when I’m in a sitting position… Pretty quiet week-got our HELOC, signing tomorrow. Driving people around-Claire from work, Salem from school, Erika from a movie downtown. Had to cut my workout short. Went to Erika’s Dr’s app’t on Weds., Not much else. No gamelan, and I think that’s it. Matt’s been sick, and one of my co-workers too. Taking something extra to help me sleep, and it seems to work. Doc wants us to keep a consistent sleep schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday noon (10\/28). Trying to get stuff done, end of sprint. Pretty quiet weekend-truncated workout Saturday, Salem to a show, pickup afterwards, signed docs, drove around, cool estate sale-an Alpha Juno 2!, guitars, Bose speakers, a literal crap ton of cd’s and vacuums. Only bought some cd’s-should’ve got one of the Bose, my Kronos is better than the Juno… Rained a lot-the back storm drain is flooding again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday noon, trying to get these queries going. Salem went to the ER last night with back pain-they got brushed off. Frustrating. Didn’t get my workout in because of it. Maybe tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Friday morning. Trying to get things done, but it’s not easy. Worked out Tuesday and last night. My leg is still not completely healed, so elliptical and light weights. Drove Salem and friends back from trick or treating in suburban OC. She didn’t feel well and took today off too. No gamelan-Mindy is feeling passed out from life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday (11\/4) Tomorrow is election day. Matt is anxious. Pretty quiet weekend. Lazed about Sat., worked out, picked up Claire from a show in St. Johns. Drove around Sun., made beef stew. Talked to Mike from gamelan at the binz, might be playing with his rock geezer friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday morning. I’ve gotta stop doomscrolling. We’re in for a bumpy ride. My middle child, the one who’s most vulnerable to discrimination and repression, says she’s an optimist. We shall see. I’m not feeling optimistic. I’m hoping reading this<\/a> will help. I know that when Trump doesn’t come through with all the empty promises that the sheep believed, they’ll just blame the Democrats. Project 2025 is terrifying too. When 44% want reactionary authoritarianism hidden behind a populist, 41% want the same ‘ol, and 15% just sit it out, guess what wins? I wonder if the end game of this is the massive conflict that precipitates the culmination of the fourth turning? Worked out at the EastSi Deathletic Club Tuesday. I got a free week. Typical old school club-full amenities, older stuff, not optimal. It has one Nautilus machine-saw it from downstairs and thought it was a full set-that was a disappointment. Did tai chi in the studio-nice and quiet, but the floor is quite slippery when wearing kung fu shoes-I think I made my hips hurt worse. There’s a heavy bag in the other studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning (11\/8). Afternoon. Evening. I’m running out of energy, and I’m sore. Worked out last night-faster tai chi with shoes, different elliptical, hit for a little in the racquetball court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday noon, (11\/11). Trying to get sources for all the data I need. Yuck. Pretty quiet weekend-skipped working out-sore hips and stuff. Salem’s play Friday night-Peter Pan origin story. They did well-they’re calm and natural on stage. Ferrying kids around, shopping, Erika went to breakfast with friend, Home Depot, etc., blowing and raking leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday afternoon. Pretty quiet-start of sprint, 2 guys are on vacay, my stuff is a nightmare. Picked up Claire from work last night, drove Salem to school this morning. Laundry, flipped our bed. Need to workout and take Salem to work, then Claire to a show. Out of $$$-had to borrow from Matt. <sigh><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday late morning (11\/17), noon, lunchtime. Trying to get this query\/process going. It hasn’t been easy. Pretty quiet, no one home right now. Salem had a hard time getting up last week, but today was ok. The usual over the last week-worked out Tues\/Thurs\/Sat, driving around\/people to\/from stuff, breakfast on Sun., bill pays, shopping once I got paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday noonish. Afternoon. Trying to get data. One view is access borked. Workout last night-skipped tai chi-no time, but got a 30-10-30 in before picking up wife. Helped Salem get their room picked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday lunchtime. Not much going on-quiet evening, that’s about it. Cooked dinner, picked up people from work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday afternoon. Lazy day, busy yesterday. Quiet Friday. Worked out Thursday and last night. To a lame witchy thing, then NW to an oddities shop and bookstore, then Salem to a play in far Gresham-we ate at Del Taco, then drove around a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday night (11\/26). Have Thanksgiving off, so took tomorrow and Monday as well. Getting my app tested, seems ok, but a few pieces missing. Worked out last night, keep having to skip tai chi-keep having to pick people up. Helped Salem and her friend cook, took them to a gathering close by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday night. Lazy couple of days. Up late, slept in, reading, driving people around, a little shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday noon (12\/3), I think I’ll call this-should’ve done that before. No worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday morning-didn’t call it. Pretty quiet weekend-sleeping in, driving around, taking people to and from places, reading, working out, cooking, cleaning. Picked up some leaves-a little more to do. Need to clean and put up the spa. Helped Erika out a little at work. We are so out of ca$h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
