An Off Day Off

Posted on 20 January 2008

I think I’ve been struggling with the schedule changes of the past year. Rising at six to get the youngest on the bus was already a struggle, particularly since I was always still up to provide supper for my wife whenever she got home, which was seldom before one and often meant serving food [...]

Kudos Captured

Posted on 18 January 2008

Today’s mail included the notification that someone had posted to my blog–the other blog, the Harry Potter blog connected to my MySpace (which is here, if–in fact, whether or not–anyone cares). She read my predictions, and posted to the final entry, Spoiler Scorecard, to congratulate me on my predictions.
I attempted to post a reply [...]

Snow Delays

Posted on 17 January 2008

I’d like to say that I accomplished much last night, but in truth once I got through the work and the dinner I pretty much collapsed into mindless recovery for too many hours. I didn’t even sleep until after getting the morning crowd started.
Nor do I hold much hope for accomplishing aught today. [...]

Direct Accomplishments

Posted on 16 January 2008

I did have some time to spare last night, but apart from taking a turn at the dishes and making sure everyone got supper, I put most of it into business matters: I attended to polishing the meeting minutes for the two recent directors meetings which the secretary missed. I also had to [...]

Clipping Along

Posted on 15 January 2008

I feel like I’m ahead of things today.
I probably have no practical basis for that feeling. After all, it is Tuesday, and I am supposed to be here pretty early on Tuesdays, as most of my Tuesday work is slated to follow. On the other hand, in recent weeks and in recent days [...]

I Think I Made It

Posted on 14 January 2008

This was a busier Monday than usual, as my afternoon was tapped for dealing with some important matters related to the son of a houseguest. I still had to take my mother-in-law to the store, but with the afternoon shot and supper to do it was nine at night before I reached her. [...]

A List of Apologies

Posted on 13 January 2008

I will begin to apologize here; I will have more apologies to make on the forum. I had planned to take a son’s girlfriend home, and while that far from here visit an old friend to talk about Collision, music, and drummers, then return home to finish my work Friday night. Part of [...]

Moving Target

Posted on 10 January 2008

When I went to bed this morning, there was still a lot of debate about how we were going to get everyone where they were supposed to be when they needed to be there today; when I awoke this afternoon, it had all changed, because one person’s plans shifted completely and everything else had to [...]

Song Recovery

Posted on 09 January 2008

I never did get the call to make another trip to the hospital last night; I do not know the circumstances.
I am finding it difficult to adjust to the shifts in schedules–being up late, getting up early, going back to bed. Looking at the clock, I’m not certain why it is so late as [...]

Medically Amergent

Posted on 08 January 2008

Our dialysis-supported houseguest needed support today; he cannot really drive himself to dialysis (or rather, he cannot drive himself back from it, which comes to the same problem), and he had no alternate transportation. It thus fell to me to deliver him there early this afternoon and retrieve him early this evening–which I would [...]
