The grandparents bought Amy some new clothing. Amy put them on herself. I turn my back for a couple of minutes with the 10 yr old upstairs with Amy and with the clothes tags on Amy spills red staining stuff on them.

I guess this is my weekend to mend clothes. Thank goodness the clothing fits her and didn’t need to be returned!

Ran out of WD-40. I know there is a tall can in the garage but the garage is so stinking unorganized that I’d never find it.

Took Noah to a friends and dropped Sarah and cookie supplies at the mall for their next booth. Will pick them up in an hour. Now off to get more WD-40.

This Morning

Got the proof! WD-40 and/or a combination of 2 cups baking soda with liquid tide and oxiclean gets crayons out of clothing! I ran old rags through the dyer all night long and nothing came off on them so I suspect the crayons are in hiding or the jeans absorbed them all. I think the dryer is fine.

Off to buy more WD-40 and prepare for other chaos today.

Last Night

Spent the evening working on the clothes and the dryer and catching up with the wife.

Made it home in 3 hours (half hour delay in rush hour Nashville). Was sent on cookie errand and decided to go to store for cleaning supplies so I could spend the night getting crayons out of the laundry. Should have bought more WD-40. It’s working great! I’m out now and have several items left. Will probably sleep a bit.

Other todos: create and email an invoice, create a cover letter regarding a qa job, household cleaning and repairs, vehicle maintenance

Preparing to head home.

Caught Tommy using his mother’s computer without permission. I almost said something provocative. Thank goodness he turned on the camera before I did!

I was wanting to get very angry with him for being on the computer without permission but more so getting into a chat with someone he didn’t know and instantly turning on video and audio. I kept my cool but he tuned me out with “uh huh uh huh uh huh” during my lecture about privacy, Internet safety and impersonation.

Did some Geocaching on the way into work this morning. It was my first microcache and not as horrible as I expected a micro to be. I still don’t want to set any micros unless they are clues to a multicache.

Checked out of the hotel this morning and am ready to go home. Just have to get through this day. I miss my family.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

At client site. May not be able to blog today.

Funny Text to Speech. One of the first things I ever did on a computer 🙂

Having good dejavu!

Coding. Mind wandering longing for home.

Visited an old friend and his wife and baby last night. Good times. They have a fantastic house! Made me realize its time to finish ours and move.

Getting back into a morning and evening stretching routine and it feels great!

Time to work!
