There is nothing quite so refreshing to me as a nice weekend looming large in the front view mirror of my week. By contrast, Mondays and Tuesdays are just big stumbling blocks to getting the week started.
By Wednesday I have realized that Monday’s stuff is still waiting to be done and that tomorrow is Thursday, already, so its time to get it in gear and just get it done before I have to waste glorious weekend time doing week day stuff.
But Friday morning is all about getting to Friday evening and the weekend. For some reason, what would have taken me hours to get done on Tuesday is a matter of minutes on Friday. Even the leftover Thursday trash work is dispatched with a wave of the magic weekend wand. I guess that I don’t want anything hanging over our heads for our “together time” during the weekend (Merrily and Me, that is).
My oh my, why wasn’t I born filthy rich instead of so damn good looking?
I did get in a little more testing of the Roadrunner Turbo speed service on Friday. Maybe its not quite as useless as I first thought. I may have had greater expectations than common sense but I really wanted to be blown away for $9.95 more per month and wasn’t.
I also discovered that my subscription to easynews.com was not automatically renewed due to my not having updated my credit card info on their site. I don’t use it much anymore and may just let it go as a $$ wash for the higher speed RR “turbo-ish” internet service.
We’ll see. I had about 500 gigs of download credits there and can pick them back up if I renew in the next few months. I just don’t find that much useful stuff up there in the news groups anymore and they have become real mine fields of trojans, viruses and worms… oh my!
Katie (the poo) continues to do well. I have adjusted her evening meds to make it so that she gets the Kepra right before bedtime. Maybe that will last enough to get her through the AM hours before breakfast where she seems to have the most seizures since her surgery. Her attitude has been wonderful and other than occasionally abusing her power of the leash (she goes over and taps the leash when she wants to go out side), she has been perfect in every way.
We are trying to work out plans for a trip about March something or other. Merrily wants to take a whole week and the two weekends to do it. We are considering the Charleston area right now. Maybe her brother and his wife will come up for a few days while we are there.
No update on our Smart car. Still expecting it on 2/18 but we have realized that it will have to be named just like Clifford and DakotR. It has to be something that will fit on a license plate and not tooooo cute but clever. So far we have $mart A$$, Smartipi and Bitsey.
I am planning to go down to see my Mom once we have it delivered and road tested a bit. I doubt I will be able to get the loader built and installed before we take the March trip but who knows… might happen.
#1 son, Smith is home from the road for a few days. You can see more of his life in his blog . Besides being an over the road professional driver he loves trains and model railroading. He covers both in his blogs and on the Wilson Area Railroad Modelers website. They even have a few channels of video feeds available to watch live operating sessions on the weekends. Its quite a hobby.
Everyone else is off into their lives and being happy. A parent can’t ask for more than that.
