What a crap-static this day has been.  Let us go to the list feature of the site..

• First I get up late.  This is not normally a problem, but my daughter start a new school term today.
• I forgot to go to the grocery store this weekend, so my daughter will not have a likable lunch.
• My daughter left all of her books and papers at my mother-in-law’s house so we have to rush to get there.
• My daughter left her copy of he schedule at home thinking that the other copy is in our car.  I took it out on Friday so I could make a copy of it. 
• Called the school to apologize for my daughter not having her schedule and not getting anyone.
• I haven’t even gotten to work yet.
• Yep, late for work to find that NO ONE IS THERE!
• Log on to the network to find the network is down.
• Network is back up, but my computer froze and refused to even hard boot. Had to unplug the sucker.
• Need I continue?  Okay, all the networks being down mean nothing was updated.  Luckily, we have an update that was run since important data changed.
• The database environment I need to work in is down because the backup was corrupted.
• Finally, after lunch I can get to work.  Finally got in touch with a person and not an answering machine to verify everything is okay at my daughter’s school.
• Went to get gas and there is no money on the gas card.

I finally just gave up the day as a loss when I got home.

After working my butt off yesterday and have a pretty lousy week, I decide that today was me day.  A day I could relax, unwind, and do what I want.  Yeah, like that is gonna happen.  I did manage to get in a few movies today, none of them worth the actual time it took to watch them (hear that Sci-Fi).  I really should have just popped in some of my old horror movies or some of the J-horror I have, but I was too lazy to actually pick some out, so I guess my disappointment with today’s offerings should be place squarely on myself.

Did you know school is just around the corner?  Time to start terrorizing your kids with the knowledge that summer break is almost over.

For once I manage to get the entire yard mowed! I started out early this morning and just kept on going until it was finished.  I was afraid it was going to ran this afternoon so I went full force in mowing.  So far it seems that the storms are not going to show up as planned.

After getting some rest (even though I use a riding mower now, it still takes a lot out of me), I am now back online and looking for trouble… not that I am actually looking for trouble.

How has your day gone?

Since someone was crazy enough to ask me what is going on, here it is…

• Screenplay – people are interested, but I still do not have it polished yet.
• Novel – I keep writing long stretches of character development with no action and it is boring even me and it is supposed to be a  horror story.
• Sketches – since I don’t have a scanner compatible with my computer, I haven’t scan any in which makes the web comic I was working on as well as my other sketches in limbo. Yes, I know I don’t need a scanner to sketch, but I would like get what I have digitized.
• Cross-stitch projects – when do I have the time.  Luckily no one is requesting any at the moment.
• Continuing education – on hiatus until the economy gets better and I can afford he transportation and books again.
• Work – yes, I still work 8 to 5 everyday and I just never seem to have any time to myself.

Now you are up to date.

I’ve been sick with a stomach virus the past few days and haven’t been at work.  Got in today to a load of stuff piled up from last week’s day off and the two days I was gone at the beginning of this week. Sometimes I don’t think it is worth staying home sick when you have to catch up when you get back.

Nothing much is going on with me lately.  The world is a different matter with the Michael Jackson memorial, more celeb deaths, a South Carolina serial killer, and a crackdown in China to name a few items of interest.  The world is never boring but I can’t say the same about my own back yard… unless you like to watch birds.  Birds we have plenty and in different varieties.  It is difficult to keep the bird feeders filled.

How thick can I be.  I mean I heard the blender going and could smell the fruit juices but it never occurred to me that alcoholic beverages were being served last night.  Heck, I wasn’t driving so I could drink.  No, what do I do?  I sit and watch some kid friendly movie thinking the kids will be wanting to watch a movie.  Yeah, they were watching a movie… in another room.  Come on, I would have watched “Twilight” if I had known alcohol was actually being served.

On the topic of “Twilight”, I met a young lady that actually likes the books and the movie.  Well, younger than I am.  She is actually in her early… well, she has been out of college a few years now.  I guess not everyone bought the books to see how bad they reportedly are.
