I had forgotten that school was out today when I scheduled my oil change for this morning. They were expecting me at the shop for group work, but I was stuck in a waiting room for an hour and a half.

When I finally got there, my task for the day was to help Amanda relocate a ceiling mounted sound system from the middle school to Crawford. The first part wasn’t awful, but Crawford was packed full of insulation, and my entire body itched the rest of the day.

I invited myself along to lunch with Heather and Gary at Quiznos. I feel like the rest of the world has finally caught up to their prices, so now they don’t seem so incredibly high any more.

After work, I came home for a while, then went to my parents’ house to clean up some leftovers.

Back at home, it was vodka cranberries and Overwatch.

Many years I have tried to break the spell. Move on; set sail with the wind at my shoulders.

I did some laundry and ate some spring rolls today.

I had to call SuddenLink about my terrible service in the evenings when I got dumped halfway through a competitive match of Overwatch. I’d like to re-run some new coax. It’s getting to that perfect time of year to spend some time in the attic.

Way to kill a Sunday.

The days are getting so short already. It was supposed to be nice during the day, so I braved the cold ride in this morning. No regrats.

I tried to clear out a bunch of work orders so I wouldn’t get backed up the rest of the week. Then Mom made bún bò Huế for dinner. I didn’t stick around long because I had to get ready for a conference.

I did squeak in a couple rounds of Rocket League before tearing into prepping the car and my bags. I love traveling, but I hate the anxiety I get while I’m trying to pack.

I’ve also spent too much money recently, and I don’t want to dip into savings, so I’m slipping past this month by the skin of my teeth. I have impeccable timing.

Hopefully my paycheck does too.

Mornings are flying by this time of year. Learning of things has slowed to near nothing, but that will change soon. Intake throughout the day was relatively low, but I’ll have to work to maintain. I stayed late to wrap some things up, then had leftover spring rolls for dinner.

Washing machine needs a new timer to be less annoying. Not sure I can get one, and a new machine would be nice, but mine works. I just have to babysit. Clean socks are nice, though.

Some people might think of it as cowardly, but I can tell you with statistically reliable certainty that live cowards are infinitely happier than dead ones.

I woke up with a pretty wicked headache this morning, so making it to work was a bit rough. I tried out the new straightening brush I got over the weekend, and it did a great job of keeping the ends of my hair from getting super tangled throughout the day. I even got some compliments for having my hair down, but I was feeling too lost to take advantage of my diva moment. I just couldn’t find anything to focus on, so I picked at a few things throughout the day to keep myself from getting behind.

Dinner was spring rolls with my parents, and I got to watch my sister help my mom with her iPhone some more. The more I watch them, the less I understand why someone in either of their positions would choose Apple as a platform. What I really miss more than anything else is my old Palm Prē.

Once I got home, I played a few losing rounds of Overwatch and Rocket League for their seasonal rewards.

It’s only logical.

I always manage to kill half of my weekend in a way even less productive than watching television. I don’t even know where most of my time went. I did play some Overwatch for the seasonal loot boxes, and a couple rounds of Rocket League with Josh and Johnny.

Clinton stopped by while he was in town, and we watched a couple episodes of Letterkenny. It’s one of those shows with super fast dialog, so I really need to watch it at about half speed to get what’s going on. It’s seemed pretty funny though.

I went to my parents’ for dinner, but bún riêu didn’t really hit any spots. Spring rolls tomorrow, though.

Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.

I woke up around 8:30 this morning and couldn’t ever get back to sleep. I laid in bed for a couple extra hours, but the sun was just pouring into my room. Eventually I got up and started cleaning up the house. I stopped at one point to watch Spider-Man: Homecoming, then took a late shower. My parents stopped in for a couple minutes to give me some harvested bananas and persimmons.

Mayra invited me to New China for dinner. Afterward, she, Armando, and I came back to my house and watched Scary Movie. It was a real blast from the past. Pop culture jokes basically serve as a reminder that those things happened.

You jumped off a sign and landed on your face.

The most remarkable thing I did all day was click a button to make a paperclip.

I had lunch with my junior high gang in the library, then spent the afternoon getting a few more computers out.

After work, I came home and played some Rocket League by myself.

This week’s gone by fast.

But they usually do.

I was stuck at Oakland pretty much all day today for a bit more testing. Fortunately, Ben came to help me run some cable that needed to be run, so my entire day wasn’t just a bust while I was there. It was super aggravating that I didn’t really resolve a single technology issue for them. Literally the only troubleshooting steps they have to follow are to restart the computer or move the kid to a different computer, but still I get pulled into a room because presumably I have some sort of techno-magic touch.

Casey is moving to a different campus, so they had a goodie table for her along with leftover chili dogs from their O’Down, so I had lunch with Becky there. Later in the afternoon, I went back to the office and found myself sleepy from sitting all day, so I just ended up chatting there until it was time to leave. I felt a bit guilty though, and ended up going to the junior high to wrap up a few loose ends, then took a new wireless access point back to Oakland on the way home to finish off the cable run from earlier in the day.

I had to get some gas, so I ended up stopping at AT&T to chat for a while before eventually making it home to some solo Rocket League. Eventually Josh came on, and we played doubles until bedtime.

At last, the war on drugs is over. We won.
