I Am Still Alive!
Once again I have let a ridiculously long time pass between updates. I don't really know why. I check my friends list multiple times a day so it's not like I'm never logging on anymore. For some reason, I just haven't felt like writing entries. It's not limited to LJ, either. I keep Twitter and Facebook open as well as LJ in browser tabs all day ( Read more... ) -
Long Day
This was a very long work day. The project I've been working on for the last month was deployed to all the restaurants late last week and today was the first day that all 244 stores closed their fiscal week with the new software. Generally speaking, all of the new changes worked just fine with one small caveat. Another guy totally re-wrote the code ( Read more... ) -
Memories
My old printer died earlier this week and that necessitated getting a replacement. Fortunately, I found a great deal on a Canon that includes a scanner with a negative/slide adapter. Once I got it installed and on the network (another bonus), I dug my way into the back of the closet and started retrieving my oldest slides and negatives. Just going ( Read more... ) -
My apologies to fans of ABC's Castle
No, there are no spoilers or anything like that in this post. I am merely apologizing in advance for getting the show canceled. How? It's very simple, really. You see, I stumbled upon it while browsing around Hulu.com and decided I really like it. I watched all the episodes available on Hulu and have just started catching up on the first season by ( Read more... ) -
A Long Day Comes to an End
This has been a very long Monday. I had a case of insomnia last night so I think I only got between 4-5 hours of sleep. It started off on a slightly down note because I was unable to find the backpack I take to the gym. (I would later discover that if it had been a snake, it would have bitten me.) Instead, after taking Katy to school, I walked ( Read more... ) -
A Wish For Arms That Work
Normally, after a workout, I don't get sore for a couple of days. This time was different. I woke up in the middle of the night with my arms on fire. I couldn't straighten out my left arm at all because my biceps hurt so bad. My shoulders? Words cannot describe. Anyway, I managed to roll out of bed and go downstairs to take some Ibuprofen and wrap ( Read more... ) -
Gasping For Breath
I joined the gym last Monday, had my fitness evaluation on Tuesday and had to go out of town on Wednesday and Thursday so I didn't get to go. This morning, I had my first workout with a personal trainer. In short, she tried to kill me. Now, she was very nice about it. In fact, she was smiling, upbeat, and constantly telling me what a great job I ( Read more... ) -
Oops, I did it again
I have joined a gym. Actually, Lisa has joined as well. She just needs to fill out the paperwork. This will be at least the third, if not the fourth, time we've done this over the years. All the previous attempts at being gym regulars crashed and burned for various reasons. However, I'm very hopeful this will be different ( Read more... ) -
Another Trip to the Oral Surgeon
I don't have a lot of time before I take Katy to school, but I wanted to write about my trip to the oral surgeon yesterday. I had an implant put in where my lower back left molar used to be. First of all, let me say that I think I've got a great oral surgeon. If anyone in the Knoxville area needs one, let me know and I'll give you his name. He's ( Read more... )
