Yet another post today: Today, for the second time in my life, I was pissing when a man in the stall — who shall remain nameless — answered his cell phone! What’s going on?
“Uh, Hello?”, “Hi Honey….Why do I hear running water?”, “…ummmm…can I call you right back?”
Ah yes! Back from vacation to the old grind. Vacation wasn’t so much of a feeling useless and depressed drag this time around so that’s good. I think I’m finding that staying close to God and His purposes for my life is the key to that.
Of course I got back to work this morning and promptly lost 6 weeks worth of programming to a silly procedural snafu in the computer system. I’ll have to wait until at least this afternoon and probably tomorrow to get it back. Ain’t it grand?! 🙂
It’s interesting to me: I took a week off from work but since I didn’t really have anything to do during that week I think I got a little down in the dumps. When I went back to work I couldn’t believe how much better I felt! There’s something about work that makes me feel good.
We went into the “studio” on friday and started recording. Things went really quickly considering that we spent over 1/4 of our time on setup. Props to Mike F. for the use of the “studio”
Well, I did something really dumb 2 nights ago. I shot my rifle without ear protection. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem to take a few shots without ear protection. People do it all the time. But for some reason my left ear wasn’t working very well after the first shot. It’s not 100% yet but it is slowly returning to normal.
We went to watch the Brewers on Friday night with some good friends and had a great time. It was win-win night. If the Brewers won, we got free admission to any other game this season. But they lost in 12 innings. Bummer.
B is getting so big. He can hold his own bottle a bit. G and B and I all have had runny noses for the last 6 weeks. Big time allergy season this year.
G is getting big too. Last night I took him to watch the football game in the bike trailer and as we rode through the grass at the stadium he said, “Watch out for the dog poop daddy!”.
I also figured out something about kids toys these days. You know the electronic ones that make all the noises? Well, we were shopping and G said, “What does this one do?” And it occurred to me that all these new toys do the playing for the child. No creativity or even activity required. Just push this button. So I’m going to try to stick with the toys that aren’t so electronic. Maybe a set of tinkertoys next. Hmmmm….. 🙂
We went to family camp, which was pretty great. We had some great family time with walks in the woods and swimming, canoing, etc…
G is getting better at potty training. No accidents for 3 days, then he got a bit absent minded and went twice without thinking first. But better.
I guess this web log is becoming a bunch of stories about the john. So I was in the bathroom at a certain location a few days ago and somebody was sitting on the toilet and I heard his phone ring. No big deal right. So it rang a few times and I heard him pick it up. He was deciding whether or not to answer it. Then I heard, “Hello?”. He answered the phone while on the pot! OK, not the worst thing in the world, he just needed to talk softly and be cautious right? So he said a few sentences and then let a big one rip. Oops! Shouldn’t have answered the phone.
Interesting bathroom here. The light is switched through a motion detector so it turns on when you walk in. But it shuts off if it doesn’t detect motion for 30 seconds. So if you’re doing your business and don’t move for a minute, you’ll end up in the dark. But don’t worry, after the initial shock, you’ll remember the motion detector and just move a bit to turn the light back on.
We won! 14-13 on tuesday. Our first win and I’m glad we got it. I guess it was a matter of time but we had fun and that’s the main thing right?
We also went swimming in Lake Butte Des Morts and watched the storm roll in. Somewhat adventurous.
Taking a few days off work to relax. More to come…
Natr14 called last week. Haven’t seen him in a few years so it will be good to get together.
