Saturday happened

Much programming occurred and it was good. I’m on a roll and look forward to seeing more progress on the client website. I think Cathy is sad that the holiday is ending. I know I would sacrifice critical body parts for many more weeks of vacation. Seems like just when things are turning productive, the rug gets pulled out from under you. I really wish I had a spare quarter million and a year just to work on the house and focus on my family’s wellbeing. Unfortunately, stay-at-home dad just doesn’t meet my salary requirements.

Saturday night is date night with the wife. I’ve got some reggae playing in the kitchen, shrimp preparing to steam, papaya cut and about to add some mango and kiwi to the mix. There’s a bottle of red and a bottle of malbec standing ready. Time to step away from the computer.

And so there was power and snafus

Today thus far, the dedicated circuit for the microwave has been connected to the breaker box. We now have two functioning microwaves! (One too many) Some relatives hit a deer with their car. Noah generously drove the Leaf to Starbucks to bring Cathy a Mocha and returned with an iced beverage. The twelve year old declared how much she loves Spencers in the mall. Oh how they grow up. The dad in me wretched. And I retreated to wearing headphones to accomplish some much needed programming for a client. Must program faster! Welcome 2015.
