For a while there I thought I might actually update everyday. As it turns out, I took a few days off from social networking and the world is still spinning correctly on its axis. That takes the pressure off a little.
The weekend was pretty good. Did some stuff around the house on Saturday, then played trains with the boys in the afternoon up until dinner. The evening was pretty relaxed. I caught up on some TV and cleared up some space on the set top box.
Sunday was pretty warm out. We bummed around the house and caught up on some chores. I went down to the laundrette and did some loads of washing. It's a nice time being able to read a magazine and listen to some music without interruption. Guilt free me time
Late in the afternoon I loaded the family up and we took a drive into the hills. My wife spyed a cool looking side road as we drove along one of the ridges, so we turned around and went back to explore it. It was aptly named Corkscrew Rd. It was a nice winding descent into the valley below. Beautiful scenery and some rustic old farm houses to see along the way. The youngest had fallen asleep not long after we left the house, but his big brother seemed to be digging the scenery. He still doesn't quite grasp the concept that we're not going anywhere. "Where are we going?" "Home. Via a bunch of other places."
We were all pretty tired that night. The boys were in bed early and the wife and I curled up on the sofa and watched some TV. It was nice.
Monday was a pretty busy start to the week. I had a new client call in after I was referred by a long time client that met him while walking to church. I went over to his house in the afternoon and he briefed me on his project ideas. I'll prep some mock-ups this week and hopefully win him over. Cash would be good right now.
I was pretty pooped by the evening and started scaling back earlier than normal. I went to bed at midnight and was surprised to find my wife still awake. I climbed into bed and she was on top of me like white on rice. Who was I to argue with a horny woman? We've both been pretty busy the last few weeks and our schedules have been off. It was nice getting back in sync. I didn't realise how hungry I've been until I got to sit down to my meal. It was quite the feast >
Today, Tuesday, was crazy amounts of busy but getting laid last night had a nice spill over effect and I didn't really sweat it today. The youngest had to go to a dentist appointment to get an assessment of his teeth. Due to some issues at birth he'd had a lot of antibiotics which has had an adverse affect on four of his teeth. So now the poor little guy is going to have to have a general anaesthetic to get them fixed up. I also have to find a spare $3000+ to cover the work he'll need done. That won't be easy, but we'll manage somehow.
Today also saw me start a new internal project. I need a better way to handle all of my client information, and accounts. I haven't been able to find an existing solution that fits my requirements, so I've had to bite the bullet and start writing my own. I don't really have the time to spend on it, however I've little choice. The positive is that I'll have a nice custom piece of software that will be tailored to my needs, and I may even be able to sell it off to a few other companies who do similar work to what I do. I'm actually digging coding it, so it's not something I can complain about
It's just coming up to 2AM and I'm feeling unusually tired. I've closed up all of my work for tonight and I'll be off to bed once I finish this update. I wonder if there's any chance I'll get lucky two nights in a row? Like any addiction, the more booty I get, the more I want. Browsing SG isn't going to help my cause any either
I thought I had something else I wanted to say, but it's eluded me for now. It can't have been too important I suppose
