Wow, I don’t feel so well. Sore throat, slight cough. Woke up at like 4:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep… I felt like I had enough, but I knew it wasn’t true. I felt practically asleep all after noon – i.e. trouble focusing on anything. At least I went to work early (since I was up), so I was out earlier… Then ran by Staples to get a new shredder. Mine died Sunday. I’m on one of my clean the house sprees. I’ve put a few things on e-bay … Continue reading
Had my first creative writing class tonight. Was quite enjoyable. We have several assignments to work on for the next class – some reading, some writing exercises, as well as an ongoing assignment to keep a journal of observances, thoughts, etc. I guess to a degree some of what I put in here fits the category, but an awful lot of it is also just a recording of what I’ve done which doesn’t quite fit the assignment. So, I need to run grab a notebook or something to try to … Continue reading
I am so tired today. I sat down after getting home from dinner last night and proceeded to go through the pictures from my trip. I selected out about 100 pictures that I felt like others would enjoy and gave a good flavor for what I saw while I was there. Believe it or not, there were probably about another 50 or so that I progressively weeded out as I TRIED to keep the amount of space this took up down. It was getting late, so I logged on to … Continue reading
This is from the “Yes, I am insane – thanks for asking” department: Sitting at work during lunch today I was checking out airfare to various places. There was an awesome fare to Australia listed at Clark Howard’s site – with tax $1,070 – which I’ve never seen from Atlanta. I’ve seen under $1k only from LA. If I hadn’t just put in the new transmission, I would have been sorely tempted. So, first time since November of 2003 that I haven’t had plans to go somewhere sometime. Nothing, nada, … Continue reading
Long few days… Friday started out with such promise. It felt like a good day. Got up on time, no traffic to speak of… Hit the last stop sign before work (well, not literally, but it felt like I did…). Immediately after that stop sign, the Blazer had an odd feeling of slipping on ice… which would be unlikely at around 40 degrees fahrenheit… It was gone as quickly as it came… okay… Last turn into the parking lot, the feeling is back, this time accompanied by a most ominous … Continue reading
Long day. Tried to get to work a little earlier today because I knew that I was going to hang out with some friends from work who all leave earlier than I have been lately. Of course, this was destined to not be fun. I sat in much more traffic than I have later in the morning. Shortly after navigating the first bad patch, I nearly had a high school student hit me crossing three lanes of traffic! Hello, look both ways before proceeding! Having survived that, I sat in … Continue reading
Wow, I haven’t posted a thing since I’ve been back! I think I’m getting close to being back to normal here. I spent time with the parents back home my second weekend back. I was entirely lazy. Normally, I tend to go home and work on some project or do something that requires getting off my butt. Not this time, other than a brief trip to Americus to pick up the digital pictures I had printed, I really didn’t leave the house. I read a lot and spent time with … Continue reading
