My mind wants to wander today. Music is helping greatly.

Milestone achieved! Moving to next task with a goal of completing it in 3 hours.

2 cups of joe today. I’m cut off now.

I have finally retired my piece of crap Sony Erickson T68i. Incase anyone every searches on that I want them to know it is the worst phone every made! I bought it because it was the only blue tooth supported phone that Cingular had but the phone was so lousy that the blue tooth headset was pointless. I’m now using a low end Nokia phone until I can afford a new phone and decide which one it will be.

A New Day!

This Morning

When I travel, I am healthier. Everyday has stretching and flossing and often exercise. I should do the same at home. I awoke early today so I had the pleasure of some relaxed blogging since I cannot get into the office at work yet. Now I am off to seek breakfast.

The first week here I at the entire week for $15. That was dinner and lunch; breakfast was included with the hotel. The 2nd week my friends fed me dinner all except one day and I ate mostly fast food for breakfast and lunch. Expensive week. This week has been similar to my 2nd week although I think I will go to the grocery for lunch and try to replicate week 1.

Hopefully I can find time for creative writing in the blog this week.

Last Night

I made a correct to a post below realizing that it sounded like I could be losing this client. This client is happy. I’m concerned about the client awaiting a proposal from me. Hell or high water it will be done tonight!

I stopped by the Franklin Covey store in the mall and exchanged my $32 pack of paper for my planner for a $25 pack of paper and since I had no receipt had to find something to make the difference which was easy because I’ve needed extra tabs for the planner for a year (literally). I ended up owing $1.04 so they profit on the exchange. I had bought the daily view and I use the weekly view. From the mall, went to my friend’s house where his wife had cooked a lovely meal complete with a delicious desert. And I know it was heathly because as they ate the described the “points” for each item. After dinner, I started the arguous task of cleaning out the phone book in my cell phone. The pain of this task was eased by the viewing of Mel Gibson’s Braveheart on my friend’s new HDTV. I had phone numbers in there of people that I know I will never talk to again and others that I just plain didn’t recognize. Using IR I backed them up to the Sony Clie PDA just incase. When the phone cleaning was done, I collapsed without enough energy to finish watching the movie.

Exhausting day. Now I’m heading to the “hotel” to work on a proposal. Hopefully I haven’t lost a potential client due to delay.

I’m going to sleep like a rock tonight. It’s amazing how something so inactive as programming can wear you out so.

Unfortunately, all the interesting stuff I have to say today I don’t have time to put down.

I’ve been a little overwhelmed trying to kill off a javascript validation and still make my other milestones today.

Flash demo stuff:

The Man Project

Pyramid of the same thing

Arrived at client site. Took 3 hours but I had a breakfast stop. Not thrilled to be here but ready to work. Set up web cam for family.

A New Day!

This Morning

Woke without an alarm at 4:55. Lay in bed holding my wife while I bounced between letting my mind race and forcing it to calm. Toyed with the idea of calling and saying I would not be in until Tues which would give me all day today to work on finances and would make Cathy’s hectic day smoother. Still toying with it. The other thought is to ask for an advance on this next paycheck but that would be easier if I was in Nashville.

Online banking erroring out so I can’t check my balance and the online system for the cable/Internet doesn’t give me a total just says “past due” which means in 2 days we will be cut off if I don’t get them a payment. Great! With those two balances I could have been more secure in making a decision about whether to call in today or not. Guess I’d better get going.

Last Night

Wonder evening! Stress dropped greatly after I got packed and knew I would have clothes for this week.

I’ve been lousy company this afternoon. More than a bit snippy. I suppose it could be the stress of having to hit the road at 5am tomorrow with so many things undone. I got the kitchen cleaned minus the fridge and the floors. I wanted to get all of the floors done and to do an exceptional job on the bathroom. It’ll just have to wait until Friday. I really wanted to get the whole family to a park today and it didn’t happen. I have to get an idea of where the finances stand. I just don’t see how the one account can possibly stay in the positive until after the first. I feel so screwed.

Head throbbing. Family going to Cici’s pizza.

I am very angry right now. I don’t want to be angry but I am. I am not speaking to Tommy which is a mistake because in about 7 hours I won’t speak to him again for a week. Cathy and I are tense with each other. My plans for today are shot.
