Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentInstead of multitasking and getting very little of anything done, I focused on my European client and spent the day fixing some behind the scenes issues that have been holding me back. Also made major head way on the user manipulation side of the database which is going to open large doors to getting the signup process completed.
The afternoon sun is here and Sarah wants me to take her to the mall to sign up for a contest. I fear she is going to have a real problem learning the negative side of “free” stuff. Her uncle bought her a lottery ticket and when she only matched one number her response to our “people don’t win these things” was “we need another ticket!” Anyhow, time for some quality time.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentI’m listening to Tommy help cut the back yard. I cringe everytime I hear the brand new mowerblade rip through another stick. The concept of clearing the area that he is going to mow and the reasons for doing so just don’t stick in Tommy’s head.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentI have a task to do. A commitment that was made. I am going to focus on that task and get it done. Everything else will work out.
Making such a decision alone is comforting.
add a commentPoem - Water Down the Hill August 4, 2004 8:24 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentWater flows downhill
Enjoying Nature’s beauty
As it goes
Never trying to return
Up the mountain
To revisit its past.
Ever accepting of its course
Destiny offers little choice
Other than to decide its distance
From the shore.
Perhaps to eddy is allowed
But not acccepted by the main stream crowd.
“We rush down. Why do you wait?”
“Do you not ponder from which we came?”
“Do you wish to go upstream? You are insane!”
“Do you remember sites of yesterday?”
“Do you not see the things yet to be?”
Try, try as it might
The water cannot win
The upstream fight.
Tis unnatural and stressful
To go against the flow
Better to accept one’s path
Enjoy it! And conserve strength
Not for the impossible
But for that occasional tendency
To be separate from the main current.
Not until the heavens
Take it up into the sky
Does the water get rebirthed
With an opportunity to live again
And be baptised within its own rain.

A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa… August 4, 2004 8:24 am

This Morning
Woke this morning at 5:49 feeling pretty good. Went back to sleep immediately and woke at 7:30 in sheer fear and panic.
I walked the dog hoping to calm and it helped. Bonus that she actually did her business outside. I found urine in her cage this morning so this theory that dogs never go in their cages is wrong. Of course, she does accidents when she gets excited so that could have been what the cage was about.
Time to split time between programming, sales and job hunting.
