A long day today, I woke up on my own since I'd turned my alarm off since school was canceled for the snowstorm, but still on the early side. Caught up on some non-work-related mail and other reading, then juggled the kids and work for a bit until Amy got up and launched the always-popular Mama School. The thing I had almost finished turned out to ( Read more... )

So tired. Tied off lots of loose ends at work, started to ramp up on the April Project (containers! exciting). Shopped on the way home, TJ's was packed, the parking lot was full, but I made it and got most of what was on our list. Tomorrow, a hundred and twelve feet of snow, give or take 110. Tonight, sleeeeeep ( Read more... )

Oof, I was up even later last night than I meant to be, what with one thing and another, and finally got to bed at around midnight, and now I don't even remember if that was midnight Standard or midnight Daylight, oof. I woke up without anyone waking me up, which was a nice change, but found that Q wasn't feeling well, he was really tired and ( Read more... )

Quentin is great, but he has not been on my good side lately what with the waking me up in the morning. :^p This time it was to help put the arms back on a LEGO minifig, which I realize is a thing that he can't easily do by myself, but which I would like him to realize is a thing that he can wait until I wake up to help with. It was 07:30, so I ( Read more... )

Q woke me up early (around 06:00) this morning, oof. It was snowing, not too heavily up here, but I dropped off both kids on the way to work so we wouldn't need to send both cars out. I finally managed to finish the thing I'd been trying to do all week, at the end of the day, but got home kind of late. Q fell asleep on the couch before dinner, so ( Read more... )

As previously described, I woke up at around 01:30 this morning, and couldn't get back to sleep, so I headed downstairs to do random things while waiting to do this morning's off-hours work, at around 03:30. That all went smoothly, sufficiently so that I was able to head back to bed after Amy took the kids to school, and was asleep by 09:00 or so ( Read more... )

Ok day at work today, tired, not enough sleep. A combination of oncall stuff, prep for the off-hours work tomorrow, and what I guess I should be calling the March Project, although really Jan, Feb, and Mar are all pretty related, and there's less One Big Thing that I'm trying to do in March specifically than there was in Jan and Feb. Anyway, I ( Read more... )

Ok day today, a little sluggish at work but I kept getting things done, if not quite as triumphantly as hoped. Failed to actually go to sleep on time last night, so still tired, so still eating somewhat stupidly, but working on it. I'm somewhat confident that more sleep will help. A nice evening with the kids, some more progress on work, a little ( Read more... )

The day started off poorly, with me spending 07:00 - 07:30 trying to call the IRS, and being told that their office was closed, please call back between 07:00 - 19:00 local time... I finally realized that they were probably counting "local time" off of my cell phone's area code, which is in Pacific time, bah. I was at first cross about this and ( Read more... )

A fun day today. I slept in a bit, and then we headed over the Wilks', for Michael's fifth birthday part, which included decorating delicious cookies with delicious frosting and other tasty toppings, delicious pizza, and (just in case we hadn't eaten enough cookies) delicious cake. Not exactly on my eating plan, but occasional digression is ok. ( ( Read more... )
