Brickwork Mostly Complete
Bit the bullet and got the rest of the bricks mostly knocked out. I’ve proved that I don’t have much of a career in landscaping and that I mostly don’t know what I’m doing but I’m happy with it.

Last Groundwork Proceeding
Made it to the gym this morning for another 5k start to the day, that’s 5,000 steps not the 3.1 miles. Came home and took a nap. Got up but didn’t feel like doing much of anything but I finally got up and got Sandy to go to Walmart to get Spackle as we’re painting…

Monday 6mo + 3
So as the old saying goes, nothing changes if nothing changes. So today it was back to a bit of a routine. Made it to the gym at 5:30ish am and had all three rings closed by 6:30 am. I got home and got my USA Jobs profile set up and was going to apply…

Lazy Sunday
We didn’t get a whole bunch done today but we had a good time. It rained and it does that so infrequently that it’s so nice when it does. Between showers we got to take a bike ride and found the most beautiful wisteria that’s in the parking lot of my dentists office.

Sweet Condensed Milk > Caramel
This is one of those things I ran across on Facebook but never thought much about it until I thought about it when I was at the store in the baking aisle looking at the sweetened condensed milk and remember it. We used this recipe from this site and it’s spot on. Super easy to…

6 Months Anniversary
Today, it’s been six months since I left ThinkTalent. That means that it’s time to go back to work. I’ll be back in the office for 9-2-5 come Monday and start looking for work in earnest as well as finishing up the RHEL certification training. It’s been amazing to have the time off but it’s…

Shed Cleaning
As we move into real springtime here in TX, we’re due for some wonderful weather in the form of tornado’s, heavy winds, rain, and hail. To that end it’s good to be able to hanger (garage) anything you can and hope for the best when the bad weather outbreaks hit. So I spent the day…

Biking Trinity Park
Sandy had wanted to go biking to Trinity park and I honestly hadn’t been there in ages so it sounded like a good idea. Until, that is, we realized that it was spring break, and it was half-priced Wednesday at the zoo. It was packed but we manage to do about 20 miles. It was…

Sandy’s Back
Picked up Sandy from the airport, she’s been awake since 3:30am eastern so she’s exhausted. Gave me a chance to mow the back yard and take a bike ride. I’m at 400 miles on the bike. It’s a bunch of fun and I got a rear view mirror for it but it’s too convex, I’ll…

Sandy’s Home Tomorrow
While I do like it when I have the run of the place to myself, it’s awfully nice to have her come back home. It also gives me a reason to clean and get housework done. That way she has a nice clean house to come home to. I do believe that I broke the…
