A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
The wife and I were just talking about the infamous “cough test” done in high school with the boys. She says “Nah! That didn’t happen” and I assured her that one day we went into the school nurses office 5 boys at a time where we were told to drop our pants and “cough.” I clearly remember the boy in front of me being asked “please move it to the left.”
Still don’t know what the test was for but its not a memory that fades easily. The wife says “you were sexually abused!”
The Jeep is fixed! Pictures later perhaps…
I started to work on the Jeep only to realize I needed to go buy an E-12 torx socket to be able to do this. Headed out, bought the tool, picked up my special order lightbulbs for the bedroom, then went to Tommy’s school and checked him out for his psychologist appointment. We went to the psychologist and I wrote a letter to Amy then met with the doctor and Tommy briefly, then played with my phone until the battery low warning came on. After the psychologist I took Tommy to the eye glass place to fix the glasses he broke in an attempt to get out of doing homework. Turns out his frames are discontinued so the warantee is no good anymore. They fixed them with a piece that is close to the existing one. His next trip in will be for brand new glasses (start putting away another $200). We went home so Tommy could yell as his mom some and have lunch. Considered keeping Tommy home but I took him back to school (which is what I really wanted to do because of his surliness and to see how he would handle the rest of the day). Then I returned home and bummed around until I finally motivated myself to get out and work on the Jeep. Once I started the work was easy going and I now have a greasy starter to take to Autozone for testing and replacement.
Heading out now.
Amy the sweet thing has discovered pleasure in sleeping in a toddler bed. She now wakes up and plays with her toys.
I heard her ranting so I went and opened the door. This morning she had difficulty getting to her toys and she was saying over and over “toy! toy! toy!” so I pulled them out a little and left the door open. Instead of following me out, she decided to play with her toys. Very big girl!
The kids are off. Amy is remarkably still asleep. The wife is in dreamland.
My anxiety is up with mixed feelings on what I should be doing. a) fix Jeep (this is like a keystone. If I fix it, it will aid me in many other activities) b) clean office and garage c) program d) go rent the snake to fix the bathroom sink
Ugh. I’m just dreading getting to work on the Jeep. I don’t know why. It’s the kind of thing I enjoy. I’d enjoy it more if my tools were organized and the garage were not such a stye.
A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Didn’t want to get up. The first alarm isn’t going off. I suspect the volume has been turned down. Time to order an alarm clock from Harris Communication.
Todo: Put new starter in Jeep. Stressing over getting the office and paper work in order faster. Need to be soliciting new work.
Last Night
Spent quality time with the wife. Talked about babies.
