This Morning
I had to grab some zzs last night. I woke at 2am and almost pulled myself from bed. Woke again at 4am and could tell the fire was out but could not rise. Finally rose at 6am but I am not kicking myself. I feel rested.
Today shall be more intense programming and documentation. I have 13 communities to build by tomorrow.
Student: Why does the rain hide the sun?
Master: So the flowers close while they are washed.
Nice long productive day! My brain is dribbling out of my ear. Time for a brief change of pace.
Leaves have blown up against the sliding glass door and are moving with the wind so the cat has taken guard position by the door and is manically batting at the glass to scare off the leaves. The door is loose in the frame so it makes this funny thumping noise as she does it.
One of my favorite sites is SlickDeals.net (even has its own rss feed). Now I’m adding Woot.com! As this article explains, woot.com lists a new item (and ONLY 1 item at a time) at midnight 5 days a week. The item is available until it is sold out. There are no people to talk to, no customer service, etc. Just great deals.
Found another one: http://www.dealtaker.com/
And another: http://www.ecoupons.com/
And another: http://www.shopping-bargains.com/

I still encourage you to do your Amazon shopping here.
Only 5 days left to help my wife win an award. Let’s get her a Best of Blogs Award 2004! Nominations close December 17th. Go here and nominate a blog for each category.
Time to regroup. Do I switch from impossible task 1 to impossible task 2 or stick with impossible task 1? Or do I take a stress break with near impossible tasks A, B, C, or D?
Today’s quote by IWon
– Henry Ford
Amazing! I’m kickin’ butt! Surely something has to jump out and road block this…
Sometimes I think my cat is being operated by Jim Henson‘s ghost.
I love recurring dreams, particularly the ones that are not identical but are set in the same scenerio.
For instance, last night I had a dream in full techicolor where I’m walking around in a parking garage. I run into some others that are very frustrated because they can’t figure out how to get out of the garage. I am able to lead them out because I’ve been here before but it’s not just that my character in the dream “has been here.” I literally have dreamed this parking garage and this city before but on a different topic.

This Morning
Made some great coding progress yesterday but its just not enough. To do the quality of work I like to do I just need some more time. I’m kicking myself so hard right now! On the positive side, it is 3:45am and I’m up and going!
Got some programming done. Had some family time. Overall I was relaxed most of the day and rolled with it. I’ll still be up late.
