Almost forgot! I bought my 2nd TN Lottery ticket today. That’s a total investment of $2. And I won! The prize $2. I’m even!

* Long afternoon. Wife very tense. Blames her tension on me of course.
* Returned the 13yr old from school and then after discussing plans with the wife and putzing on the computer took him to his group therapy
* After dropping him off, returned home and grabbed an accidental cat nap. I was so exhausted I had the shakes.
* Woke, chopped some wood, took 2 phone calls, one with work for me to do the other wanting to consolidate the student loans.
* Piled everyone in the car and picked up the 13 yr old then went to Sam’s then Walmart then home for dinner.
* Got everyone to bed. Re-lit fire. Need a beer. I’m bushed.

Knox County Schools rot:
The 13yr old had a great day! Apparently he and his archenemy got along very well. When asked about school work, he blanked so I figure he basically was asked to do nothing. Get ready for 4 months of babysitting. Taxpayers rejoice!

* Feel like crap. I got a resume and cover letter sent today BUUUT had a todo with the wife and she’s all ticked off so its tense around here but she’s really not tense about our spat or the spill on the couch or my thoughtlessness at not bringing her a caffeinated drink this morning; instead, she is tense about not knowing how the 13 yr old is performing in school today. We’ve had not feedback. A call by now would have been greatly appreciated but the Knox County Schools War is yet to be properly documented. It’s coming!
* Getting a long over closure done for one of those clients that paid nothing, wants the world, and is still around. This should end it though.

* I’ve confirmed that I’ve been given one last breath of air but my reserve tanks are empty. I have roughly 3 weeks to swim to the surface. I should have never gone so deep!

* Mind un-focused. Taking 25mg meclizine (placebo?) and settling in to send a resume and cover letter. Setting a 9:45am deadline for self.

* First wave launched. The 7 yr old, 7 yr old friend, and 10 yr old have been dropped off at school. Apparently we’ve been arriving later than the other safety patrols because today we got there and couldn’t find a place to safely park! Now need to burn a half hour before taking the 13 yr old to school. I suspect I’ll be picking him up before lunch. I’m on pins and needles about the 19 mth old waking. I really want her to sleep but expect that she will wake any moment now.

* I began stretching again this morning. Let’s hope I keep it up. I’ve never felt as good as when I was stretching 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the evening and exercising. Stretching is good for the mind and body. In the past when I’d try stretching in the beginning my mind would be racing but after a few days it became a meditative moment. I bought Bob Anderson’s book eons ago when there were only 3 stretching books in the bookstore. Now there is like an entire section diguised as Yoga. I highly recommend Bob Anderson’s stretching book.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Wow! The day is starting off on an incredibly positive note. ExtremeTracking confirmed in email that they cause no pops or spyware. VTech replied in email with the same answer they gave over the phone except in email it said the line voltage dropped before 24 volts instead of 21..which again, a cable problem could easily cause that.
* Woke at 3:30 to a crying baby. Fire still going. Could not motivate myself to get up and program.
* Woke at 5:45 to the alarm. Then again at 6:04. Got out of bed at 6:08. Woke the 10 yr old. The 7 yr old felt mildy warm but I’d say it was night sweat and not fever. Woke him from his 12+ hour sleep and he said “I feel fine but hungry.” (skipped dinner)
Heavy Rain today!
Goals: Send resumes out, finances, fix usb port
