A New Day!

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

This Morning

* Awoke at 12:30 and refueled fire. Almost convinced myself to put an all nighter.

* Awoke again, no alarm, at 5:45 and lounged in bed until 6:05 then got the kids up

* Time to brew coffee

Last Night

Didn’t last long. Read a few pages in Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan and drifted off between 10 and 10:30.

Time to check on the kids and bring more wood down for the fire. I’ve made lots of smaller logs so I should have a hot burn tonight but much refueling. I want to watch tv with the wife

Had hamburgers then watched Blue Clues to see Blue talk! Still undecided on the format. It definitely opens up marketing potential as far as greater variety of things to sell, support for the live show etc. It also gives them the option of dropping the live action character at anytime and the voice is generic enough that any character actor can handle it.

Time to put kiddies to bed.

Time to cook. Hamburgers tonight.

Whew! Have enough wood for a hot fire this evening and maybe even next. Made a great mix of well seasoned and relatively fresh wood.

I keep bouncing from cleaning task to cleaning task accomplishing very little of anything. It’s so overwhelming but I know once I start into it things will go well and quickly.

I talked to the neighbor. His neighbor is putting up an 8 foot tall privacy fence right on the property line. I was trying to explain his rights and that he could exercise them for a phone call and he just didn’t seem inclined to want to fight the issue.

I hate privacy fences. It screws with the animals (I personally like possum and snakes and raccoons etc), devalues the neighborhood and generally adds nothing to neighborhood.

Chopped some wood and tried to save the fire. Heading to the garage for a bit.

Shifting focus to the outdoors. Going to work on 1) wood splitting 2) driveway and 3) garage

My fuse is short for the 13 yr old today but I think he is wanting a fight. I’m working really hard to stay calm and respond smartly.

Downstairs trash minus bathroom and bedroom and all upstairs trash moved to curb for pickup. Kitty litter scooped and freshened. Baby given juice, a hug and encouragement to take her nap.

Decided to put wood chopping off until later. Don’t want to change into grubbies now. Instead, going to tackle cleaning the office some. The 13 yr old has done his home work and enjoyed it.

Today’s Goals:

• Chop wood
• Clean
• Find hotair balloon (I want to fly it with the kids. Today is perfect!)
• Work 2 hours in Act to arrange contacts for job searching tomorrow
