* Dropped 13 yr old at school. He was mellow but in that “I’m going to build up steam” type of way. I hope I’m wrong. Then went to the Ranch to do some computer maintenance for a friend.

* Returned home, did 45 seconds of wood spliting, got over agressive then spent 45 minutes breaking my axe handle free. The handle is intact but it is no longer in the axe head. Looks like a repair is in order.

* Weather is fantastic for removing a Jeep starter. I need to kick butt on this php then get to work on the Jeep.

* Wahoo! Php code is up in the staging area and the db is working. I’m not happy because I don’t feel its my best work but I always feel that way. Several ends to tie before the handoff but it should be quick going now.

* Time to take the 13 yr old to school

* Kids off to school. We packed lunches and I couldn’t find the car keys so we left late but still made it to school on time just not soon enough for me to take a left out of the parking lot–means I have to drive through a neighborhood which takes longer. 13 yr old asleep on counch when I returned. I let him anger me too easily. Went from jolly to having great tension in my chest too quickly. Did nothing to him other than speak firmly but not gruffly.

* Wahoo! Code uploaded. Just need to create database now.

A New Day!

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

This Morning

* Woke at 5:30 feeling great. Got out of bed at 6. Kids seems jolly. What’s in the air today?

* Reconsidering the format of my blog or creating one purely for creative writing

* A little stressed on my php project. Must begin uploading files now. I need an 8-5 day a couple of times a week where people pretend I’m not here.

0 resumes sent today; 0 interviews; 0 sales calls; 0 new contacts

* Time to introduce others to the addictive practice of blogging

* Kids are down to sleep. Work is progressing well. Wood spliting has been done and the fire is burning hot. A few more large logs in a few minutes and she should be good for most of the night. Left my glasses upstairs. Fortunely they are near the fridge and there’s beer in there.

* bad evening – too much anger… too much yelling..

* Bah! Nailed byMurphy! The hosting company had NOT suspended me and because I’ve been in contact with them was working with me through this jobless situation. What good people! Turns out the MyDoom virus is causing their mail servers grief. At least it feels good to have gotten one more late bill taken care of.

* $402 to hosting company – ouch. Budgeted $278.

* Blast. The hosting company cut us off and as I’m trying to get a payment sent paypal times out so I’m not sure if the $303 got sent or not.
