Where’s the beef?
And by beef I mean time.
I’m so crazy right now. There was a time I was craving a social life and now that I have one I’m just wishing I had time just for myself. Contradictions, I know. Maybe it’s not the social life I have but the kind of one I have.
I swear I heard people talking in my house the other day. They said “Ed, stop where you are.” I was wide awake and was slowly reaching for the gun next to my bed the voice was so clear. Then I heard footsteps and a reply from someone but the voice was muffled. I lay in bed working through the steps I would need to take to aim the rifle when suddenly I heard music. Classical music. Not a complete song but a short refrain from some Mozart piece and I suddenly had to admit to myself that I was still half asleep and half awake. There weren’t really people in my house. But I was up and I still heard noises. It was a restless night. I need to get a better bed. Only a few more months.
My exercise routine has completely fallen apart due to several factors. One I really did something to my lower abs and it hurts to do the sit ups. Really it does and everytime I do a sit up I can feel the muslces pulling and straining in tension. I’ve stopped doing them. The last couple days I haven’t been able to walk due to weather and/or not getting home from work in time to walk. Very annoying.
My experiment is hitting a rough patch. On a good note the new car is driving great. I took out an ex-lady friend to dinner for her birthday the other night (saving her from getting hammered and getting a tatoo that evening instead) and she seemed to really like the car. The car impresses the ladies. Sweet. 
Financies are going ok but it’s tight. I pulled off an amazing technology job this week that, if I was a private contractor, would have gotten me a couple hundred dollars. A person I know, their hard drive to their computer just broke. Stopped working. Operating System not found error on boot up. After some serious jumping and hooting at the machine I was able to get the hard drive to respond and found the lost partitions. Copied out all their personal files to an external drive and using a new hard drive they purchased rebuilt the computer. They were very happy and I have to say even I was impressed with the end result. It wasn’t easy. I thought for a couple hours it was all lost.
Well it’s getting late and this is my first post in nearly a week. I had so much more to talk about but probably won’t have time to do another entry until this coming Sunday. Geez. Maybe I should slow down? But how do you slow down when you already feel like you’re standing still?
