Lounged on the couch and stared at the television: Pyramid, History Channel, Aliens, and Bourne Identitiy (obviously not to completion). My symptoms are worse; my attitude improved.

The weather is improving dramatically also.

My wife awoke early so I came downstairs 9ish. My body was aching (physically shaking) and my mind racing so I gave into a “nap.”

* 9am sleep

* 9:20am phone rings, wife is looking for me; I’m up but return to bed

* 10 am awoke paniced

* 11 am awoke terrified

Here’s the internal details. Sleep was incredibly deep with unbelievably vivid dreams (and no, I took none of Cathy’s Tylenol). Most of the dreams centered on tasks that need to be done and how to accomplish them; some of the dreams revolved around getting my lazy tail out of bed; and some of the dreams were so dark that they won’t be mentioned here beyond this sentence-you know, dark in the way that make psychologists put little flags in their notes.

Now I’m up but so cold that I’m wearing leather duster to work. Typing has helped center me and bring some necessary calm.

Amy sits on her Radio Flyer car and leans to the right and says “whoa! Whoa! WhoA!” then sits upright and rolls around.

The wife stirs. I feel tired but I must work.

Nevermind. The baby has declared she wants out.

The wife will be up in an hour and a half. We will spend some time together. I will go downstairs and try to be focused on my work. I want to complete all my work today by 3pm so that when Noah returns home we can work on the pinewood derby car together. There is so much to do!

Well, I’ve got my act together today! Apparently after cooking eggs, toast and sausage (Thank you George Foreman!) I apparently left the eye on the stove turned on while taking the kids to school. Then I stopped and put gas in the car (13.784 gallons at $1.559per totaling $21.49) and bought a gallon of milk and 1 lottery scratch off ticket (I’ve now bought 4 – $4 and won $2 so I’m in the hole $2 — I wonder how deep in the hole some of these addict are?). The catch? Apparently the whole time my pants zipper was down; fortunately I had my shirt untucked so I think I was well covered.

The baby has stirred. I must move down to my computer and try to accomplish something. I still have that 1 hour’s worth of work that must be done and I’d like to put another 3 hours into the project just to impress. The client called yesterday and I’m afraid to listen to the voicemail.

Sarah (10 yr old) did a beautiful job on her hair but we are late as all get out and she is moving in slow motion. Fortunely our carpooler called in sick today.

A New Day!

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

This Morning

Woke at midnight to fight a shadow for the wife. Shadow flew back to Peter Pan like nobodies business! Who da man?!

* This morning I have a sore throat; hurts to swallow or talk. And some sneezing. I despire being ill.

Profoundness from a 7 yr old: While I am scrambling eggs in the kitchen, “Sounds like you are in a rock band!”

Too tired to carry on. Gonna add tonights wood to the fire and go to bed.

Focus problem! Heart is not racing buy my chest feels like it is. The cold of this office isn’t helping.

Took entirely too long but had much fun editing our photos for our snow day. see them here

I used to take such good care of my things. My cd collection was alphabetized and no scratcheds. Now my discs are regularly used as frisbees and half of them can’t be found and the other half can’t play without several episodes of skipping.

I’m a potential iTunes customers for sure!
