I want to begin this week (Monday) with everything caught up. The list includes home maintenance, shed building, yard work, marking property lines, managing finances, scoutmaster duties, computer programming for clients, computer programming for me, and winning the lottery.

How often should you beat your kids?
The Mathematical Association of America published a paper in 1990 using math to prove that you should beat your kids every day except Sunday.
Apparent this is an exercise in probability, generating functions, Stirling’s formula, the Gaussian integral, and more.

Let the cleaning begin!
Must. Not. Stop. Moving.

Master: But have you given up?
Happiness
Orgasmic Pizza
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
CamSoda has partnered with Lovense to add a button to your vibrator that will order a pizza from dominos. That’s right. Did you just pleasure yourself so powerfully that your legs quit working but you are now starving? No worries. Just reach down to your vibrator once more, push the other button, and dominos will bring sustenance to your abode.
How to end the day and begin the evening?
You reach a point each day when you have to ask yourself, "Beer or Real Hot Yoga?"
From the mouths of babes
This is what it is like having a phone call with your teenager:
Me: "I love you."
Teen: "Alright. Bye."

Beautiful Day!
Great day for woodworking
Really wish I had time to work on the yard and a garden
It is time…there is no time
Occurs to me that it is planting season. I really want to be building a raised bed in the yard and setting up a robot gardener. But I am so not ready. I need time and materials to build a greenhouse, raised beds, etc. Our biggest expense is food. I pay for food by working a job. My biggest time sink is my job. Catch-22. I really am enjoying indoor gardening. Now I want to turn the whole house and yard into growing food.
Where is the snow?
The kids told me school would be canceled so I slept in. Where’s the snow? The ice?!
Frozen
Here I sit
All locked up
Mentally deranged
And out of luck
Pondering all
That must be done
Thinking, thinking
Doing none
To banish
The stress
Must
Think less
Trying
To decide
Which thing
To do
Is still
Thinking
Much ado
About nothing
I turn
Off my mind
To think less
And do more
For doing
Is how
Things get done
And
Put my troubles
On the run
By thinking none
And doing all.
Cooking for the week
For most of 2017, I planned diner as I rushed home from work. It was inefficient and a costly way to prepare food often resulting in buying precooked food from grocery stores or restaurants.
I have graduated to preparing meals a week in advance. I hope to eventually prepare a month in advance. Currently I only prepare dinners. My next step will be to add lunches for the week. As I work toward monthly preparation, I will start using coupons and more strategic shopping.
I have now grown my own lettuce indoors and learned much doing so. I want to add to tomatoes but think rosemary and other herbs will Be next. By 2019, I hope to be growing most of our vegetables in the house or in a greenhouse. I am optimistic.
First meal complete.
Second meal complete. Hamburgers:
Two more meals ready. Taco meat for tacos and rosemary chicken:
Tonight’s meal. Rosemary chicken, portobello mushrooms, and roast squash and zucchini:
