While working on a few things in the basement...
I finally found my box of unpainted miniatures and the painting materials. It's been hard to find the motivation to paint again since we have a baby on the way and still dealing with the recent move. Then again, painting them has brought me a lot of joy and kept me productive instead of vegging in front of the TV watching shows or movies ( Read more... ) -
The best present that I could give my wife today
This morning, I noticed that she was feeling down. Over the past several weeks, she had to deal with the stress over moving. So, I offered to watch the kids all morning and she went back to bed. The kids are napping, my wife just got up and she seems ten times happier. I'm glad that she got a chance to rest up ( Read more... ) -
Short work-day (but lots to do)
Our company is having a picnic today so we close at 11:30 am EST. So, Diane and I are taking advantage of the time to get a few more things packed and rounds of calling the utility companies to let them know that we are moving. Is it exciting? No but at least we'll feel productive and give us more time to enjoy the weekend. I'll take it. -
One more month and I move back to Cincinnati
It's bittersweet but glad to be moving back to the area that I grew up in. Not to mention, I get a chance to see my family and friends there more often. I'll miss the friends that I made in Akron but can still visit them occasionally and see them online. -
Happy Anniversary Diane!
Thanks to my wife for putting up with me for the past four years. -
Not a great day to start off my off day...
After helping Diane get the kids ready for day care, I stepped on one of their toys and bruised the bottom of my foot. On the good side, the toy remained intact but it hurts like the dickens to walk around the house today. (Note: Yes, 'dickens' was not my first adjective but keeping it kid-friendly today.) Ah well -- that's part of the adventure ( Read more... ) -
Bad colds, baptism and more
I'm still recovering from last week's illness but still feeling much better. Unfortunately, it seems to be making its round through the household. Diane passed it onto me and now my son seems to be affected. The poor kid was sent home from day care today and Diane took off from work to take care of him. Since I missed two days last week, I was ( Read more... ) -
Cell phone woes - part II (with resolution)
After several attempts to work with my provider's customer support, technical support and two different local stores, none of the agents could figure out what was wrong. So, I decided to do some research and found out that their data plan was designed PER PHONE. So, I enabled Diane's only during the sign-up as I thought it would cover both plans ( Read more... ) -
Very busy Saturday
Early this morning, I worked my fifth Saturday in a row for overtime at work. Thankfully, it is the last weekend officially scheduled for OT as I'm on the verge of burn-out. Diane was still sick so I spent time working on tickets and keeping the kids entertained. Thankfully, the phone support is closed today or it would have been insane ( Read more... ) -
Cell phone woes
I upgraded our cell phones and although I was able to activate Diane's phone, mine seems to be having technical difficulties. I called my cell phone provider's customer and technical support. Although they were super nice, they were just as perplexed as I was. The final decision was to take it into one of the stores today to have them run a ( Read more... )
