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

January is ending, been cold the last bit, though not wet. Trying to keep us afloat. And now starts the unending mess. Hopefully it won’t be too messy. We’re just going to have to deal with what comes. It’s kind of sad, but that’s the way of it. Trying to think things out, and hopefully progress some. Some things need to get done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, time to go. No car yet, may have to take the bus. No gamelan last night. We had a duck visit last night! Put out some food, but he left anyways. Took Claire to a movie at the local theater, picking people up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Saturday night-ate too much candy popcorn-bleh. Not much today-did a little, got Claire, worked out. Making oatmeal for tomorrow. We got some cash from Erika\u2019s work. That helps some. Took the bus to the gym Thursday, Matt picked me up and we got Claire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday noon. (12\/10) Not much going on-we have cash from Erika’s work, so less pressure. Unfortunately, she then quit-she’s been having anxiety over it, so it wasn’t worth the stress. Worked out last night-it’s pretty crowded, so less than fun, but 30-10-30 is a challenge, so. Sunday was driving around and shopping, worked out later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday (12\/27) late. The month just flew by. The usual, busy on the run up the Christmas-taking 2 whole weeks off! Left a bit of a mess at work. Nice staying up late and sleeping in. Didn’t get presents ordered from Amazon in time, so got a couple of things for Erika from the binz. Got a huge tool chest. Pumped out the crawlspace this afternoon-it’s been raining for a week. Drove to Beaverton yesterday to replace Salem’s laptop. Ate a sandwich and Erika helped out some kids that got in an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday again (1\/3). Not much happening-last vacation day-still sleeping in, though I should start getting up earlier. Quiet New Year\u2019s. Trying to keep my workout schedule. Got the spa cleaned up and set up-need a canopy-found one at the binz, but no bottom pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday afternoon (1\/7). Back to work-slept super badly Sunday night, got woken up at 6:30 this morning. Hope tonight doesn’t go like that. Not much else-worked out last night, had lunch, so no fail. The usual weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is, Friday (1\/17). Been slacking on this-just busy. Taking the day off-my usual holiday day off. Odd though, so soon after a long break. Got Erika\u2019s mini storage shed up-a lot of work solo. It\u2019s only a third full. Not much else-going to be very cold the next few days. Work, workouts, driving kids home, shopping on the weekends. I should call this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday night (1\/26). Didn’t call it. And another week gone. Not much-the usual, drove around yesterday, put the stuff in my big tool chest, Claire went to Eugene on the train, did some yard work, folded up the tent, put up a canopy over the spa, took down the Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
