TGIF. Stepped into a mess of my own making. Holiday party on a boat last night. Very windy. Lost power at work, insane time getting home. Worked on stuff, long time getting home. M broke his arm again.<\/p>\n

It’s now Monday. Didn’t do much this weekend, except for the gamelan gig at Yale Union Saturday. No wash, no dishes, barely cooked. I had such high hopes…but Monday evening ended up getting it all done-woke up Tuesday to a tidier house, but insanity at work. M didn’t clean the cat box. arrrrgh.<\/p>\n

And now Wednesday. Keeping the house clean. No gamelan, now Thursday. Getting through stuff, house is staying clean, after a fashion-need to vacuum and clean off the dinner table.
\nSo Friday is here-slacked last night, get to it tonight. Kids are on vacation, no gift card yet. E picked me up downtown, M had a redo on his cast. Goodwill, got a pizza, S to bed, up late watching South Park and Person of Interest. Got up earlyish to take S to church for rehearsal. Did sound, libe, gas, home, got the Christmas saver, checks, can’t get my amp fixed until the New Year. Shopping at Fry’s, Target, Goodwill, Freddy’s.
\nSunday: early to church, play, home via Goodwill, lunch with E, shopping, home, lazy, S to bed, up today, easy to work, stepped into a mess, part mine, part someone else’s. Quiet evening. Easy in.<\/p>\n

So, in between Christmas and New Years. Christmas was nice, shopping, church, lazy, more stuff, church. Helped a parent with WordPress. Hard to get back to work, and now another 5 days off. We’re way short of cash.<\/p>\n

So, it’s the end of one calendar year and the start of another. In the past, this has been quite an occasion, especially one memorable one-1983, maybe? In any case, I’m hoping my finances improve some, I want to make more music, and the inner dev stuff.<\/p>\n

Happy New Years, everyone!<\/p>\n
