So tonight there is just plain a ton of fog, and it’s granted 1am now, but just kind of cool, the humidity bit, not so much, but I do enjoy the fog, seems very calm to me.
I am up, I probably should be sleeping, but this weekend (second weekend in a row) the upstairs neighbors had a party of “epic” proportions - till about 2:45am - crazy sauce for sure. Slept in till about noon to catch-up then had lunch with Scott @ BK - twas tasty.
Tonight though I did get windshield wiper fluid from Target, and a carwash from the gas station (My car is clean!) I still need to see about getting my windshield fixed, has a massive crack, and would really like to have it fixed up before the new year - but just another random thought in my head.
Anywhoo - going to try and crash out here shortly, realized I was running low on clean clothes, so I did a quick load, which finished about midnight, so I guess now that its done, and I am starting to wind down, it’s time to sleep. So goodnight - thanks for reading my extremely out-there / random post. Have a good Monday.
A long night last night, that ended shortly after I got to sleep for about 30m or so, then off to work to a meeting - it went fair, a lot of things I already knew, a few things we worked out - who knows maybe one day they will listen to me - but as of 02/09 I will have been there 1 year… so we’ll see how that goes.
But thanks for the prayers - the meeting wasn’t horrible - granted part of me wanted to sleep like there was no tomorrow, but I got thru it with a to-do of things to do, but already crossed off about 3-4 of them already, not like many of them were hard - just a lot of “DO THIS NOW” items have come up over the weeks, plus personal life has had demands which I am more than happy to prioritze over work as my friends and family are far more important than a job that doesn’t respect me. lol.
Anywhoo - thanks for your continued prayers, hope this week will go smoothly, only 2 days left, and then it’s turkey day & day after turkey day Night folks.
I say more or less simply because how “good” can you be pain wise with 4 holes and a 2-3 inch incision in your shoulder! But as of last night he was still sleeping it all off, so it all seems to be leveling out - of course he will now have 6 months of re-coup/re-hab so a long road ahead, but hopefully less pain from his shoulder. Big thanks to all who kept him lifted up in prayer!
I finally got some sleep last night catching up after my whirlwind day - I got up for Dad’s surgery at 5:30am left the hospital with mom at around 8:15 or so and got to work, ended up leaving work at 11 - and stayed with them till about 3pm, at which point I was back at work for the remainder of the day (2 1/2 hours) so it was a busy busy day, one that ended fun getting to see my brother and his family, who I had not seen in months - which included my newphew! So pretty fun stuff!
Anywhoo - a busy day ahead, some work on FH, the apartment, bill paying, and I imagine a meal with family to see to Have a GREAT weekend folks!
ps. Just checked to see if my tracking for the G1 was active, looks like it’ll ship Monday, unless they have Saturday pickup! But maybe mid-week for the new phone! woot!
So up and about after a good turkey induced nap - been a wild week or so with work, which all seemed to melt away when my little family of friends (and some who are family) came over on Friday night to share pizza with me, 4 pies - one was $1.99! We had a GREAT time, which is what I needed, a nice break in the constant bleh that has been work as of late, with the stress, disrespect etc. but such is the job on occasion, but it won’t be that way forever… at least I hope not
Having my good friends over it was an amazing time, my sister and her husband, my cousin - and all my close friends who’s houses I usually venture to on a Friday night to hang out with, all at my place, even Mr. Solomon came and joined in the fun, it was an amazing night, a great blessing (amazing food additions!) so just what I needed.
Today was mellow as well, slept in, then got a call about needing some help fixing up my parents TV, and that there was a Turkey being cooked (Test Turkey #1) so I left here a little after noon at about 2lbs of turkey, and then came home and worked a bit, only to loose out to the turkey and pass out into a lovely nap - the first Saturday in a while where I actually got to rest up a bit and not have to get a call asking for XYZ, or 3 emergencies waiting for MY attention, rest, plain and simple.
Starting to hopefully, finally get a bit of balance between the day job, my business, and personal - it takes time as always, but I have some amazing folks in my life who this week all told me they were praying for me, even one guy who I have known for a long time who also acts as a sales rep for a company I deal with @ the day job, called because he’s been concerned & praying for me - so good to know folks are watching out.
Anywhoo - I am going to go find a quick snack for dinner, maybe one of the 3 pieces of pizza left over from last night or maybe some scrambled eggs + toast, something simple for sure - but I really am craving cookies, so I may need to go buy some stuff from the store! Have a Good Sunday Folks! and thanks to everyone for their prayers and encouragement!
Body temp is still high - not feeling as bad, but then again I am on some crazy “RAPID RELEASE” Tylenol, it does indeed work quickly! The nice thing to not taking a lot of meds on a regular basis is that when you do take them - they seem to work a lot better.
Tomorrow the plan is to get to work early. I am not talking 5-10 minutes early, but see if I can’t wing an hour or so early - the reason being is that they are planning to tear out a wall in my office Monday, I got this in my work email:
“…. Monday morning to start work on the wall. I am going to put in boxes everything on your that book shelf. So……. dont’ be surprised when you come in Monday”
This idea wasn’t really thought out too well, unless this guy knows a trick with Drywall not to make it shoot dust everywhere, and on everything - thus I am either going to have 2-3 lbs of dust (okay that’s an exaggeration) but no real plans have been made other than fixing the cooling concept of the IT office by combining it with a stronger flow from the now Ex-Gym’s AC unit - I like the idea, cooling wise it works, but the prep time to get this going, wasn’t there in the least.
So tomorrow I want to arrive a bit early, see if I can’t get things save and sound, no way to run servers in a “Trash Bag” mode as the President of the company suggested, so I am going to probably be moving key hardware to another location while the work goes forward.
Anywhoo - still not feeling 100% great, but I have gotten some good sleep, a tea pot, and some fancy CFL bulbs for my office here at home Sooo I am going to hit this week running, and maybe setup an appointment with the doc to get checked out - I partially know what they will say about 1 thing, but not about the rest of it So have a great week folks. Night!
So tomorrow I hope to hear from the apartment people, I left a message in hopes of finding a time that I can get down there and get the final bits sorted - but if it is a no-go again, I think 3 times is a good try, but thru all of it trying to remain open to this change, as much as I may try to fight it
A long day, but a lot done I think, still can’t seem to shake this exhaustion, and if I didn’t have a newsletter to work on tomorrow, I’d so call in sick and just rest up - but apparently I am semi-reliable - a pile of things to do tomorrow though, after a crazy day - more to follow
Anywhoo - I appreciate the prayers, folks checking in and seeing what’s up - hopefully tomorrow will bring a conclusion to the Apartment situation but it may be the start of a journey, time will tell. Night Folks.
Well the night has come, Unicron-Classic (lol) is being shutdown as I type. It was a good server, lasted longer than I thought it would, even if it did cause me great grief this past weekend locking up, running out of ram, etc. but the customers of that server (not mine) are now re-located to 2 masterful 8-Core systems - and doing great on lovely RAID10 drive setups, so a nice improvement for those folks, I am sure there are some little bugs waiting for me here and there, but all in all, very very happy!
In other news! My parts showed up today, as I have been working here, I have been trying out the new thumbdrive which is for a combo of personal and a combo of work, 16GB of thumbdrive wonderfulness - so very happy, and every little bit I have been putting together the system, and it’s going well - but I’ll post more later, a few things to sort out in here, and waiting on the final on the old server, etc. etc. but tonight I’ll have a few things to post about… more soon!
Night folks.
