* Woodstove lit. First time in 2 years. I cleaned it decently first. Now that’s a danger to the baby!

Dizzy Report

*Cleaned the roof. No dizziness. Inspected the flue for the woodstove and its clean enough to eat off of! Fire tonight!

* I’ve been reading Greg Egan’s Diaspora and am amused that I am understanding it so well. It is science fiction packed with science fact. I have just finished Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore which explains Quantum Physics quite well. Fortunately (recognising this in great hindsight), I had a great science teacher in the 7th grade that imposed some of these lessons on us. I recommend both books but read Alice first–its a tough read.

   

Desires

At this exact moment I want to do:

– Go up on roof and inspect chimney myself so we can have a fire

– Get Tommy’s scooter out and fix it

– Get mad at scooter company for not returning my calls

– Work on php/mysql website

– Write detailed blog entry for this morning

– Add book references with my Amazon store to the blog

– Figure out why my eyes don’t seem to want to focus today

– Sand, patch, paste and finish gate repair upstairs

A New Day!

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

This Morning

* rough start

* much movement and baby crying all around 7-7:30. Baby crying stopped so I hid under the covers (later to find that the 7yr old “rescued” the baby and was playing with her..very nice!)

* Got up again around 10 or 11 from a sleep of the dead

Last night

* sleep 10ish. Washed down 25mg meclizine with 1 Guinness

* Computer flipping out. Sorta appropriate

good karma

* Called the bank and although I have checks bouncing left and right it doesn’t sound like they are poised to close my account yet but I have to correct things quickly

* After turning down the Memphis job, another agency has called with a 3 mth contract in Nashville

I am such an ogre to the kids. I’ve got to change that.

* I’m working but I feel like I’m walking through waist deep mud.

* sound of screaming children could be in the music I’m listening to. I turned up the volume to drown them out and at regular intervals the screams–nevermind, that was definitely a child

* I’d kill to have my 2nd monitor back

* over tired 7 yr olds now fighting. I see the advantage of working at an office. My urge is to go upstairs and help.

* created visual aid to encourage the 13 yr old to Respective, Have a positive attitude and be productive. However, he only cares about himself and it won’t make a difference. He’s up there banging on the table again and acting retarded.

* 13 yr old now stomping on the floor directly above my head while I try to work. 19mth old awake.

* 13 yr old really trying hard to make us angry. Making noises, trying to irrate and engage us

* It’s done. I’ve finally achieved the possibility of a 4 day work week.. A long time goal and I have turned it down. The damage to the family would be far to great. I feel like an idiot.
