Waste

Man this household produces a bunch of trash! Garbage is to the curb minus a little bit but hunger and thrist for coffee kicked in. Yes… I will get the cat liter changed after I eat. That’s the worlds worst job to get started; once you are doing it it’s not so bad.

Woke to rush around and get garbage to the curb..a task that I should have done last night.

Today’s tasks:

-get a resume out to someone that I promised it to before Tuesday

-get a haircut

-submit cover letters and resumes to all ads from yesterday’s paper

-work on a computer at a local business

-take Tommy to play D&D this evening provided it doesn’t conflict with Bible School

-possibly shovel more manure

-{whatever tasks the wife has}

Yard work at long last!

I went to a friend’s house and picked up horse poop. Unfortunately someone else beat me there not long ago taking 30 tons. On the positive side I wasn’t faced with moving 30 tons of manure and I believe there is plenty for me to complete the work I want to do. And! Everyday they make more!

Half of the sidewalk has now been removed. It took almost a full trailer load of manure to fill the void. The new tree has been planted (using a mixture of mostly cow manure…hmm.. cow manure surrounded by horse manure…yum!) This manure had seasoned so long that there is absolutely no smell. The tree has been trimmed in and mulched. Picture moment!

Jerry RIP

Dead mouse found on couch. (the cat really wanted us to know she’d done her job) Fortunately (for the cat) it died of internal injuries or heartattack so the couch wasn’t messy. Tom properly rewarded and encouraged to do more!

Remember when? Nope..

Ever since I was about 11 I’ve had this concern over losing memories. Some sob stole a journal from me that I’d kept for 3-5 years. (Theft was years ago and I still haven’t fully gotten over it–at least they found a way to make a memory stick!) That was heartbreaking! Here’s an article about Making a Vivid Memory

A study in the May 27 issue of Neuron confirms previous models of memory recall that found sensory-specific components of a memory are preserved in sensory-related areas of the brain. The hippocampus can draw on this stored sensory information to create vivid recall.
It’s a short article with nothing of great interest except the link to KidsHealth referencing the The Nemours Foundation

Ice thawing between wife and self.

Yesterday

Had an interperson interview with a really interesting company. Again, slow moving with the job possibility not to be realized before the end of the month. The types of jobs I need, qualify for, and pay correctly are sluggish corporations. My lack of degree hurts badly.
