Tommy rises and in his words “just in time for lunch”

Amy choses to nap. Tommy remains napping.

Cathy and Sarah are off to Libby Lu’s to get made-up with the rest of her girl scout troop. This is their final activity until the fall.

I’m at home with a weepy Amy. She smashed her finger badly. I’m surprised she didn’t loose the tip of it! The tylenol appears to have kicked in and Dora the Explorer is helping. It will be nap time soon.

Noah is watching Dora with Amy and he’s participating.

Tommy returned to bed when his biological father called. I said “Hello _____” and Tommy ran to his room and hid under his covers. He has not come back out yet and that was over an hour ago.

A New Day!

This Morning

Got on the horn to tech support to try to get wife’s email recovered. Keep yer fingers crossed.

I feel almost hungover this morning. I guess I didn’t sleep well. Head throbbing. Eyes blurry. Had really bizarre dreams. The memorable one was action adventure style in full color centered around a mysterious museum with myself as a law enforcement agent partnered with a female law enforcement agent trying to prevent this guy who also claimed to be law enforcement from stealing some artifact with mysterious powers. (too much television).

Last Night

Horrific experience as Amy fell head first from her sister’s bed. She’s ok. Sarah was very upset.

Spent the afternoon catching up with an old college friend and helping clean her computer of adware.

Finally got the wife’s email working with some caveats. The engineers still need to grab the email off the other box and get it imported to the new one. She hasn’t lost anything but just doesn’t have access to it. Any new email should come in fine.

Next, I have a decision to make. I friend has extended a generous offer to host our domains that would result in basically $120/mth savings. Crazy not to do it! My “set in his ways” attitude makes me uncomfortable jumping from a hosting situation I am comfortable with. Other people jump regularly. Bah! Time to get over oneself and do the right thing. Now I just have to bring my bill current with my current host so that they will not block the switch.

This Morning

Up not quite as early as I’d hoped but up none-the-less. Last night I began designing a product I’d like to design, build and sell but will need a little angel investor to be friendly to be to make it happen. I’m going to try to write it up as best I can. It may even be patentable.

I’m in the programming mindset right now. I could even be focused enough to do some mundane tasks like business cards and marketing. However, I promised myself I would be at HomeDepot right now so I’m off. Going to spend the next several hours getting those plants in the ground (provided my wife is up to tell me where they go). Finish the game!

Had pizza for dinner and considered a run to HomeDepot for planting supplies. They open at 7am. I’ll try to be there right when they open, get the plants in the ground and then get to work.

Watched “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” with the entire family cuddled up on the couch. The movie was everything I expected it to be…which would be a somewhat waste of talent.
