Monday at the end of August
Well, tomorrow really is the end of August, which always meant the end of summer to me. I miss the summer breaks, obviously, I mean who doesn’t? But I kinda also miss the first week of school, the new people, the new subjects, the new stationary, the new possibilities. Yeah, I miss the 6 hour [...]
A quick week
Well, a week plus. Work has been more work than usual, and I tried the off-the-shelf mental focus supplement that is advertised all over the place. You know the one. Anyway it seems to work by letting you block out everything except the migraine it gives you, so you are totally focused. Sure, it could [...]
Tuesday – Busy few days
So, the kids got back to Florida safe, Thursday I zombied through my appointments and barely remember anything from that day. Friday was a little better, had a nice quiet night watching Stargate SG1 with J. Saturday was a sail race in the bay, Sunday was a day in SF, Monday was an early conference [...]
A sad Thursday
The kids have flown away to Florida. I am now minion-less until next summer… or I win the lottery, though even then probably next summer is earliest. We saw Despicable Me yesterday, not in 3d. Good kid flick, laughed a lot. Nice way to end the last day of summer vacation for the kids. There [...]
Wednesday
So, I’m not so good at the every day thing, lol. I’m trying, though, and eventually it should become habit, right? I’m fleshing out an idea that will almost eliminate the additional paperwork that I have to do for work… can’t completely cut it out, but if I can automate enough of it and put [...]
Saturday
Had an excellent Friday, with A good visit in the morning, team-building in the afternoon, including dinner and games at Dave and Buster’s and a movie all on the company. Fun day at work, followed by a fondue party at home, with many friends and family attending. Just an excellent day. Sadly, it was a [...]
Thursday
Work: good day, answering tech questions, finishing and reporting on promised research, and having a good (though late) performance review. Kudos and warm fuzzies for just being me and doing what I do naturally, makes it hard not to love this job, so I don’t try. Also, I’m progressing with some code that might automate [...]
Wednesday
Had a good work day and a nice relaxing afternoon/evening. This past weekend I started a new mead batch brewing. I used grocery store honey that came in 5 pound cans, labeled “raw and uncooked”. 15 pounds of honey cost about $36. I started by putting one of the gallons of pure water into the [...]
Ressurect/Revise
I’m going to try to get into the habit of posting Daily. I have a lot of things I’m supposed to do daily, and things that I just should to daily. If I use this as a punctuation for that, I might end up in a better, structured, timeframe. Since my “day job” doesn’t always [...]
