or thee, take your pick

after a week of outstanding weather, it has gotten cloudy. I did not get out much last week, besides the client work I needed to get done, there was the “need to stay by my phone for that big phone call” mentality. I did sit out back for a bit each day. Did not ride the bike, although I should.

today I am having for my nibble lunch some brie and triscuits. the rosemary and olive oil ones.

num num

and a call did come in today, could be a good one. so, my trepidation about future work is allayed. Have three food sites now, that is it. not a good thing when you are trying ever so little to lose weight.

so, off to designing land I go.

I’ve been waiting on my offspring here, in my car, yet again, for over an hour. she can’t text from her phone so I have no idea how much longer. I am uncomfortable, my butt is not liking the car seat. wish they were flat instead of bucket that is made for skinny asses.
this exercise I have done before, and I have forgotten how to just sit. I truly wish and hope that she is finally learning that her drinking is going to cause more bad than she can imagine. she said yet again that she has stopped, and wants to make meetings this week, but does not know how she can do that with work, no car etc etc, yadda yadda yadda. all stuff I have heard a hundred times if not, a thousand times before. why should I believe that this time she is telling me the truth. highly doubtful that she is. my patience in these matters I guess is the patience of a mother. but in the days since I returned from vacation, I question my choice of having children in the first place. it ain’t been nothing but u-ncompensated work now for 30 years.
I want to ride my bike today.
her damned PO did not get into the office until 8:45, instead of her advertised 8am. Lauren is being cut some slack, but has to go back every 2 weeks now, and get signed off by AA. I do not know how many meetings she has to do, but i guess I will help her with that as well.
man, i need to ride bad.

I was supposed to head to nyc tomorrow for the web 2.0 expo, catch a couple keynotes, but alas, I am going to give daughter a ride to her PO in the morning and if she is not violated on her probation, then take her off to work. I am praying that they don’t violate until after conviction. pray to whomever that they don’t totally fuck her over. she is the victim in this, but since she has some priors, not in this area, she may be fucked. it will do no good for anyone to do it, and I hope that it is seen like that. but, you never know. I have not much work scheduled anyway for tomorrow in case I have to go crazy.

working on getting my videos done up. I have them all n the Mac, so I am learning iMovie by trial. The first day has over 30 minutes of video. Just wondering if I should do the condensed version of the trip down state, or the full 36 minutes. then there are the other days. I may combine all of those into one since I think there is no more than 20 minutes of that.

I’ve been real tired and not feeling well. prolly cuz of my daughter’s woes. again. sometimes i wonder what life would have been if I had been childless. the grief and pain they bring, often makes you forget the good stuff. I’ve not had much good stuff from either of them. oh well. payback i s’pose.

off to edit.

cut my hair. did some bangs, a bit too short, and took about 6 inches off the length. Next step will be maybe a bit shorter, but by a stylist. then some color. I just did it, wanted to do it yesterday, but was still too upset over the drama, and did not trust myself to not chop it all. Today I am better and it made me feel much better.

so… anyway. back to work, I’m damned good at procrastination huh?

so I am like only 9 days from flying out to CO. I have my fishing gear on the dining table, trying to figure out what to take. I finally got the travel rod, but I am not sure I can take it onboard, so… I will go to TSA web site to check. if not, well, that is OK. Jupst hope my luggage does not get lost along the way. I expect to have to pay for the damned bag, so it better get there. I have mapped out some fishing to do on Th. and then Fri on my way to meet up with chris. Not sure where we’ll camp but looking like Rifle Gap or Rifle Falls SP. Most of the national forest camps close on labor day. boo hisss.

I have utters set up to chronicle audio, trying to get it to post here, but not having success, yet. If not, I can jott here I think. so… and videos, have lots of avenues for videos. I’m going to rent two movies I think, on to laptop and watch then in camp. we’ll see. going to do everything on the cheap, cuz the money ain’t exactly flowing right now.

and with that, I am off to get some new teva sandals

and blogging using my axim, from bed. hardcore and just not tired. I just don’t seem to want to go sleep. One of those nites.

Setting the Record Straight: An Open Letter from Kevin | Kerr Trading

testing out Kevin’s trackbacks

hot
humid
the other day I finally heard the cicada song. This afternoon again. yup, it’s birthday weather. hazy hot and humid. I went outside around 1, and it looked like there was a fog. but it was haze. humidity. and probably real poor air quality. I did a little in the yard, and in the garage. sweat started dripping and stung my eyes. so I retreated back to the house. been going in and out all afternoon, cuz it’s summer and I am supposed to be outside. nature girl.

but happy happy. dumbass put in new plugs and wires and car runs again. I am about to head to the store to do some grocery shopping. so, we will see.

and, well. hell, I need to do some work tonight so I don’t do any tomorrow. but i will.
