A New Day!

This Morning

Trying to get a whole bunch of computer stuff done. I said proposal last night “helll or high water” I guess exhaustion doesn’t fit into “hell” or “high water.” Set the alarm for 5am but didn’t get up until 6:30am. I am in the client office and if my laptop won’t cut the mustard I am just going to step over the boundary and use their machines to get this proposal written (off the clock of course).

Tim has me interested in Blogshares so I need to budget some time for a signup and a little recreational time playing with it.

Last Night

I had a really good time cooking my first vegan meal. It was delicious! By the time I was done cooking, our first guest had to leave so the guitar playing was very short but I did have the pleasure of getting them started on Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.

Calling it a day. Heading to my friend’s house to cook vegan.

My wife will get a kick out of this. I’m working for the company that makes Dr. Martins!

Got groceries. Trying Mai’s Pad Thai. My first truly vegan meal.

Tonight has been declared “guitar night” and apparently several people are getting together at 6:30 to have vegan food and play guitars. I may not even leave here until 6:30. I’ve been asked to prepare a dish. I’ll be up late tonight trying to get this proposal written.

One of my projects that is 6 years behind schedule is now a danger to the boys. One of the neighbors has a parts car that he has half buried in his backyard. My boys are now playing under it and on it. Hope their tetnis (sp?) shots are recent. The neighbor was supposed to have removed the car from the property within 30 days of my purchase of the house. Time to talk to him.

My mind wants to wander today. Music is helping greatly.

Milestone achieved! Moving to next task with a goal of completing it in 3 hours.

2 cups of joe today. I’m cut off now.

I have finally retired my piece of crap Sony Erickson T68i. Incase anyone every searches on that I want them to know it is the worst phone every made! I bought it because it was the only blue tooth supported phone that Cingular had but the phone was so lousy that the blue tooth headset was pointless. I’m now using a low end Nokia phone until I can afford a new phone and decide which one it will be.

This Morning

When I travel, I am healthier. Everyday has stretching and flossing and often exercise. I should do the same at home. I awoke early today so I had the pleasure of some relaxed blogging since I cannot get into the office at work yet. Now I am off to seek breakfast.

The first week here I at the entire week for $15. That was dinner and lunch; breakfast was included with the hotel. The 2nd week my friends fed me dinner all except one day and I ate mostly fast food for breakfast and lunch. Expensive week. This week has been similar to my 2nd week although I think I will go to the grocery for lunch and try to replicate week 1.

Hopefully I can find time for creative writing in the blog this week.

Last Night

I made a correct to a post below realizing that it sounded like I could be losing this client. This client is happy. I’m concerned about the client awaiting a proposal from me. Hell or high water it will be done tonight!

I stopped by the Franklin Covey store in the mall and exchanged my $32 pack of paper for my planner for a $25 pack of paper and since I had no receipt had to find something to make the difference which was easy because I’ve needed extra tabs for the planner for a year (literally). I ended up owing $1.04 so they profit on the exchange. I had bought the daily view and I use the weekly view. From the mall, went to my friend’s house where his wife had cooked a lovely meal complete with a delicious desert. And I know it was heathly because as they ate the described the “points” for each item. After dinner, I started the arguous task of cleaning out the phone book in my cell phone. The pain of this task was eased by the viewing of Mel Gibson’s Braveheart on my friend’s new HDTV. I had phone numbers in there of people that I know I will never talk to again and others that I just plain didn’t recognize. Using IR I backed them up to the Sony Clie PDA just incase. When the phone cleaning was done, I collapsed without enough energy to finish watching the movie.

Exhausting day. Now I’m heading to the “hotel” to work on a proposal. Hopefully I haven’t lost a potential client due to delay.

I’m going to sleep like a rock tonight. It’s amazing how something so inactive as programming can wear you out so.

Unfortunately, all the interesting stuff I have to say today I don’t have time to put down.

I’ve been a little overwhelmed trying to kill off a javascript validation and still make my other milestones today.
