• Ran another 5 miles yesterday afternoon which makes it two days in a row now
• Translation: this stuff hurts!!!
• Kids off doing kids stuff because their homework for the week is done
• Order stuff to flash mod an ipod after work. I have a list of materials needed to build one up to 256GB
• Why? Just because, also because streaming doesn't work at work thanks to whatever they built the building out of

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!!!

Woke up to rain in the Fort this morning.

Supposed to rain all day. We need the rain.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Have a wonderful day!

ZzzZz

Did not win Powerball last night. That's another $3 down the drain. Perhaps I will try again on Saturday.

Bought my Mega Millions ticket on the way to work! Pray saints, pray!

also...meh

• Was going do 5 mile tempo run this AM but pouring cats and dogs so maybe this afternoon
• Last day of work for me until Dec. 1. WOO HOO
• Dogs DID NOT want to do their business outside this AM in rain. Finally got around to it
• With 10 days off, will watch a LOT of football
• Tonight, will prep meat to smoke tomorrow.

Heavy fog this morning in west Georgia/east Alabama.

A good day starts with good coffee.

Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

Morning!

Been up since 430
At hospital for kid #1 (minor surgery)
Im hungry
Scheduled car for new windshield
Downside of sitting in hospital waiting rm- online shopping. This is costing me an arm and a leg (and thats not what they surgery is for lol)

Happy Thursday

Ill only pray if you split your winnings with me.

I made a spreadsheet that calculates all of the major milestones between here and where mom and dad live, and when we'll reach all of them given any departure time you put in.

18 hours, 48 minutes... leave at 8PM, clear Baton Rouge at 7, Houston at 11, get to mom and dad's in time for a late lunch.

Dog walked, oatmeal consumed. Work. Work out. Work late.

I need to buy a couple of more mock turtlenecks. I'm out of long sleeve shirts until I do laundry on Saturday. It's chilly in this room in short sleeves. Maybe I'll head over to landsend.com ...?

50F with fog and a heavy mist outside. Supposed to stay nasty today and tomorrow, but we look to have a nice weekend ahead. Looks like we might get some actual cold air next week. I am ready for snow! Actually I need to buy a small shovel for my car, and then I'll be ready.

EDIT - Somehow I wound up looking at more short sleeve shirts. I want this.

• Awake early.
• Hubs took me to Mas Fajitas last night for some tasty margs.
• WFH day.
• House is tidy (mostly). Cleaning people coming today. HURRAY.
• Colleague got more bad health news. I hate cancer.
• Pedicure
• Travel work tonight. Try not to kill a transportation company - I have sent NO LESS THAN 15 emails to get their transfers correct. It is NOT rocket science. And its for a Texager.

Make it a great day.

My wife got some info about a colleague who got some awful health news this week as well. She's pretty upset about it.

Overslept today. Somehow forgot to set my alarm. My wife forgot to set hers as well. That's unlike us.

Still made the 7:15am meeting so no worries.

Two more meetings on the schedule for the afternoon.

Get some work knocked out in between.

Need to make a couple calls that could have me on hold awhile. Not looking forward to that.

I need some starbucks

I am hooked on this series. The first to be filmed was "Autumn on the Farm" in 1967. This is about life on a dairy farm in Whitewater, WI. The Summer of Love apparently hadn't had much effect in rural Wisconsin as the haircuts are straight from 1957.

The most wholesome thing you'll watch today!

If you like those, check out some of the classics from the BBC, such as:

- Pest control woke me up at the crack of 10 AM. I must've really needed the sleep, damn!
- Dutch Bros, YUM! Even took out my headache.
- Manicure / pedicure at my old nail place. It's so nice to go somewhere and be remembered, even if it's for how bad you used to pick at your cuticles

It has been a good day.

House tidy (it's been a mess)
Cleaning people came.
Laundry 100% done - INCLUDING comforter/sheets.


So exciting that I'll come home Sunday night to a clean house with clean sheets.

It's the small things in life.

I have a cleaning lady show up once a month.

I'm getting paranoid about Mad Cow burger here in town. The last few times I've called them, they haven't answered. I have a long history of not tipping there, and it's one of those places where they turn a screen to you and say "Now this is going to ask you a few questions." As all they're doing is handing me a brown paper bag at the counter, I've never tipped.

I ate Hot Pockets tonight instead. I think I'll call from Benny's phone tomorrow evening and see if they answer. I've never used that number before.

Hot Pockets? That's desperation.
