I feel on top of the world. I’m at the top of my personal and professional game. I’m happy. I’ve been happy for some time now.

How do you dress for Home Depot?
This weekend, I witnessed a lady in a hot pink, short skirt wearing 4.5″ heels walking out of Home Depot. I can only assume she was shopping for some pipe.
Weekend Project – water heater
Old water heater is out of the house.
Weekend Project – Water heater
Ok, add whole house water filter to the shopping list…
Weekend Project – How poetic
The last hot water to come out of the water heater will be used to clean the mess left behind by the water heater.

Ah, perhaps we should want to scrub the floor while we are doing this.
Downstairs faucets closed.
Upstairs faucets closed.

Stand turned for a repeat performance shortly.
Weekend Project: Water Heater Replacement
Home Depot trip 1 – water heater, plumbing tape, hammer arrestors, frost free outdoor faucet, ball valve (for the hell of it).

Weekdays
Tuesdays and Thursdays are little bridges that connect “oh shit” to “almost there” to “thank God!”
You want a Planck!

Sunday evening gripe sentence
Seriously, there is not enough alcohol in my life for this.
Anxiety Prayer
Give us this day our daily Xanax and calm these palpitations, as our body shakes and trembles. Lead us not into the ER, but deliver us from anxiety. Amen.
But one goal today
Truth be told, I have many goals today. Two major professional goals and many personal goals.
But for the moment, I have but one goal. Nothing else matters. The house can burn down around me and I won’t stop. A client has reported a problem that I simply cannot reproduce. So my immediate goal, no matter how long it takes, is to reproduce that issue. That is all.
Deep thoughts
Sometimes it is helpful to remind yourself the goal is to win.
