Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI 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.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAmy 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!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe 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.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA 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.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSupport group went really well. I had a good time leading it. I like leading groups. I’d make a good project manager. Not nearly the turn out I had expected but a great meeting that was very helpful to a new visitor.
Came home tried but stimmed. Time to help the wife then settle to collect my thoughts and regroup for the evening.
Key dates are here for bills. Time is tight for preparing for performances.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSometime between 1991 and 2001, a regional sector of the North American Aerospace Defense Command simulated a foreign hijacked airliner crashing into a building in the United States as part of training exercise scenario, a NORAD spokesman said Monday. ie. Everyone knew it was coming…no one knew what to do about it.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeCathy left for her meeting. I had a phone call and found out I’m in the pool for another job possibility with yet another company that I’m familar with. That puts me in active consideration with 3 companies and a total of 5 positions. My new Motorola v400 is already exhibiting some Gremlin like behaviors that are irritating me. I have the Midas touch for electronics. I love them! I know how to do fantastically cool things with them. But they melt with my touch!
Noah and Sarah are home. I need a nap.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeTwo Arabs are sitting in the Gaza strip chatting over a pint of goat’s milk.
One pulls his wallet out and starts flipping through pictures and they start reminiscing.
“This is my oldest son. He’s a martyr.”
“Here’s my second son. He’s a martyr too!”
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab says wistfully, “They blow up so fast, don’t they?”

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeYes! Got some cleaning done (put things away not thrown away). And reorganized in the bedroom to better understand what is in our mystery boxes. Identified several to grow through and throw stuff away while everyone else is asleep.
Found some of my books that I’ve been looking for (magic books, music tablature etc) but still not the Jeep manual.
Time to update the list of missing things:
Things I can’t find:
– my house keys
– the bathroom caulk
– the two caulk guns
– my mind
– a job
– me
– the Haynes manual to fix the Jeep
– time
– most of my tools
– my sunglasses
– fingernail clippers (neither of the two)
