February 03 Opps, I did it again.Last year I said I didnt want to take a week off again and pretend to be a stay-at-home mom. And here I am, taking the same exact week off again in 2009. This year though, I am NOT staying home. Ok, I'm not travelling either, but I am not staying home. I hope Sakura doesnt mind day trips. Maybe I should go see Spring in Bremerton... Opa and Oma in Eatonville...Sean and Barb in Graham? Fr0g up north? Some ferry rides... Pike Place Market. Oh, and I need to make a new coffee cup! January 30 January PostJob wise, all 3 of us are still working, and just having one kid who can take care of herself helps. So are we a Tr1k? (Triple income, one kid). I'm in Healthcare, so no layoffs there. No shortage of people getting sick and losing their insurance. These are the days us community health centers are needed the most. Brandy is working as a float pharmacy tech who isnt picky about how far she needs to drive *my car* for her work and therefore appreciated by her employer. Not by her car-less sister though, who misses her Passat
 . Lion is at a unnamed software company in Redmond who did announce layoffs this week but I guess his division was spared.  He is the most likely to be laid off, so we are crossing our fingers. Only one of us needs to work at any time though.All of us healthy and well, as usual and up to date with our shots. No broken limbs yet due to snowboarding.
2009 will be a year for renovations. Lasik, microdermabrasion, weight loss, hair, etc. By the end of the year, I want to be a size 6 and look young enough to be carded. Or at the very least younger looking than Lion... who *still* looks like he's under 25 (maybe it's because he acts like he's 12?).
I have some time off coming up next months, I may be getting my eyes done that week. Thinking about a solo road trip, some solo snowboarding if I havent hard the surgery yet. Just solo something. Lion and me are going on that Olympic Peninsula road trip next weekend, but I would like to have some alone time. I love Sakura and all... but boy is she *precious* December 26 Memory Lane Snow on the roads was a good excuse to excuse myself from Christmas Eve at my grandparents. I ended up taking my old FreeBSD box to Gabe's. He installed a program to read the file system and I started to pull stuff off of it that dated back to 1999-2004. Then we went to 13 Coins for dinner. Yesterday I spent all day and most of the night, reading and looking at pictures. Mostly reading. It's amazing how many conversations logs I have, I must have had it saving them by default. Spanning years. Date stamped, time stamped. My next project is to put them all together chronologically. Now though, that I have more time to read between the lines, I can see what I was missing in these conversations could fill volumes. Thing is, I don't remember if I was missing it then, or if I was purposely ignoring it. December 24 HolidaysHolidays mostly make me sad. Is there such a thing as Holiday Affective Disorder? I haven't had time to shop, so I really don't have any presents for anyone. I don't want presents from anyone either. The drive to Eatonville will be fraught with danger considering the amount of snow that has come down. That winding road, with dips and hills, is not something I want to drive on right now.
I just want to stay home and see if I can get my BSD box to wake up. There's a lot of memories on that harddrive that I want to get to. Maybe Gabe can help...
There is something to look forward to... Mt Baker on Sunday! I'm sure I will feel much better once I've snowboarded a bit. December 22 Stupid Stupid StupidI understand why you are doing this again and can't disagree with your motives. But you should know it won't work. A few more months will go by, and you will crack again, like you always have. And I have always been there when you do crack. But how many times do you think I can be ripped to shreds before it's more painful to see you, than to stay away? |
