Anyway.  During that conversation, I got a little annoyed.  I had thought that she had put off both weekends, and so I.. showed my annoyance.  Oops. 

I was wrong.  I reviewed our conversations and.. I was wrong about what I had thought.  So I apologized, saying I had misunderstood our previous conversations. 

No response.

I waited a few days and said “Yeah, Sunday should be good.”

No response.

It’s been several days since that. 

In other news, I’ve just breached 13 months working at TSS.  My fears of not doing a good enough job have subsided, slightly, and I increasingly feel like a valuable member of the company. 

I really need to get back in to biking to work now that the weather is nice, but I am just too tired and lazy in the morning..  I am not getting good sleep, nor am I getting to sleep on time.  Small doses (less than 1mg or so) of melatonin are helping on a nightly basis, but it’s still not ideal. 

Aubrey is moving back in come mid July or so.  She’ll be here for a week starting around Memorial Day and then she’s off to India for a month and a half of job training.  After that, roommate time!  The lowered financial burden will be welcome, but not nearly as welcome as having her around.  Last time she lived here, for about a month and a half starting in mid-July last summer, it was awesome.  She’s a great person to live with, probably one of the best roommates I’ve had.  I enjoy her company immensely.

Duster, at least, seems to have calmed down on the whole being separated and lonely thing.  It only took nearly two years…  He still exhibits some behavior he didn’t used to, but they’re endearing and I’ll give him that leeway since he doesn’t have Pinto around. 

Nicole and I did a pretty awesome analysis of a dream I had a week or so ago.  Or at least, I think it was a week.  May have just been Sunday night..  My sense of time is abysmal.  Anyway, it made me realize a few things.  It was neat.  I had one weird-ass dream since then that involved my entire nuclear family, us owning a pizza place, and then us living out Monster Hunter.  Nicole couldn’t analyze that one at all.

• Emptied the kitchen trash

• Emptied the bathroom trash

• Scooped litter

• Cleaned up the mountain of plastic bags that inhabited my pantry

• Swept and Mopped every room except the side room off of the second bedroom

• Made tea

• Texted Aubrey Happy Birthday!

• Texted Lauren that next Sunday should be good for me

• Happy-Mother’s-Day’d my mom

A few days ago:

• Moved the WAP into the kitchen, a more central location that gives more reliable signal and speed to wireless clients in the second bedroom (which is where 90% of my wireless access time is spent) — Still need to run a longer cable and get the thing more centralized

Just a minor update to attempt to get back in this habit again.

So here goes

1. I’m thankful that I have the means to live comfortably
2. That I have a job that values my skills and helps me develop further
3. That I have a physical activity I enjoy immensely, and that the weather is finally going to allow me to partake again

There’s a bunch of others that come to mind, but if I blow them all tonight then this won’t last very long.

And tonight is kind of a misnomer.  This post has been sitting as a draft for a couple weeks now.

Two pictures today.

Cat looking out the window over the weekend:

Saw this on my way in to work Monday morning:

I actually went on site the other day to solve an issue that should have been solvable remotely, but they didn’t have the correct software installed on their computer.

It was good times, though.  Being able to get out of the office for a bit and walk around and play Ingress.

There was more I was going to say, but I forget.

Been talking with Alyssa a lot lately.  It’s really nice.  She’s supposedly coming in to town in February for a concert, but will have an extra day or two to visit and hang out :D

Picture unrelated.

That’s where this cat usually is in the morning before I leave for work.  Was odd to see him there this afternoon.

I’ve been talking with Alyssa more!  I texted her and Aubrey a happy new year greeting.  The conversation with Aubrey lasted just five minutes.  Alyssa and I talked for just about two hours.  We’ve been talking back and forth most of yesterday and today too. 

I’m catching up big time on dishes!  I’m about a load and a half, maybe two left from having everything clean.  This hasn’t happened in ages, and it is actually exciting.

Started doing push ups and lifting my weight again.  I’ve got a lot of episodes of The West Wing to watch, so I should get pretty decently toned here.

Sitting at my writing desk is really nice.  I am really happy I set this up.

I’m drawing a blank of things to write about right now. 

Good night.

It did not go as well as hoped:
