Month: February 2005

Oh man! I bought some good beans yesterday. I feel like a ex-coke head that just “took one snort for ol’ times”

good beans, good incense, good dub…hell if a check comes in the mail today I may start thinking I’m dreaming

This Morning
I woke at 3:22 again this morning. I like the 3:22 time. I just wish I would rise. Again at 4:30 and sometime in the 5 o’clock hour and finally rose at 6. I have a blogging buzz at the moment as I’ve been blogging and typing too much and ignoring things I need to be doing. Time to turn attention to those things.

Today is all about programming.

Student: Master, you smell funny.
Master: I smell the same as you.

Could this possibly work?

So I started the day with some spackling in the bedroom. Then I took 15 thirty gallon trash bags of clothing and toys that we collected from the kids rooms during the last mass cleaning and stowed in the garage to Goodwill. Since things that smell good to me don’t smell good to my pregnant wife we stopped off at Green Earth Emporium and bought some incense that she should find more appealing. Some grocery shopping and then home to finally find her maternity clothing! I should clarify that I’ve torn the bedroom and our storage system apart trying to find these clothes. The clothing was the inspiration to get the donations to Goodwill. I’ve randomly walked into the garage and stared hoping that something would metaphysically happen to show me these clothes. Today Cathy decides to check the garage herself. After 3 minutes she points at the box and says, “What’s in that?” She is so happy! Of course, the clothing was stored in a box that solitarily sat on top of our freezer and could have been discovered weeks ago had I “looked up.”

The Goodwill bags were a major impedance to making progress in the garage. The other challenges to finishing the buildout in the food pantry/garage are:

• Rework electrical
• Rework hvac duct work
• Plumbing for hot and cold for potential sink in garage, icemaker in food pantry, optional washer dryer connection in food pantry
• Drain for hvac condensation trap
• Drain for option washer and garage sink
• Dryer vent
• drywall
• Shelving
• Doors
• Paint
• Flooring

Wahoo! More database progress!

Mixed 2 tablespoons water with 5 drops peppermint oil (same brand I use) and 7 drops rosemary oil (same brand I use). MMmmmm.

Yahoo! I achieved stretching! Noah stretched with me. What fun! I enjoy Noah quite a bit. He’s such a genuinely good person.

On no! I’ve run out of coffee! Not actually a big deal except that I’m almost out of herbal tea too! I’ve cut my caffeine intake way down. I allow myself up to 3 cups of coffee per day. No sodas. I drink decaf tea with the exception on one or two herbal teas that have minor caffeine in them.

Yesterday I actually did something for myself. I worked on the database design for TN Lottery Results. As soon as the database design is in place I can lay a new look on the site. Right now it looks like such trash. I also put in some client hours programming. And had a very rewarding time working with my son on a school project.

In the evening I had the Asperger’s Support Group and arrived after several of the guests. They were setting chairs up around tables which I don’t think is conducive to a support group setting so after some room rearranging and confirming our dates out to August we were rolling. Fantastic discussions! What a wonderful group of people we had with caregivers for people of ages 5 to adult. Everyone contributed and we had interesting topics such as ‘will an aspie ever be able to write?’ and ‘is the messy eatting sensory or fine motor?’ and ‘do they have friends?’ (a resounding “no” simultaneously from the entire group). Of course there was some school discussion and other topics. I was spacey. Having taken the wrong car to the support group I left Cathy needing to get to her meeting and taking the girls without a car seat.

Yesterday was a great day in the bedroom! (pervs) Much cleaning was had! Many papers were burned. I wish I could spend the rest of the week just cleaning and working on the house. Better check my lottery numbers.

Student: I always get mad at the wrong things.
Master: What are the right things?

What’s this? Blogger isn’t dragging? Web pages are coming up quickly? Haloscan is popping up? Murph must be setting me up for a doozie!

I’ve made exceptional headway on a PHP project.

Now I’ll set into a toolchest and turn into my secret identity of Handi-Man! “In today’s episode, Handi-Man tackles Evil Bedroom in The Mystery of the Missing Maternity Clothing!”
