April Fool’s
Personal:
Good thing this April first was fairly uneventful. For some reason I’ve never really enjoyed some of the surprises played on me over the years, although occasionally I there are years I really can’t resist setting a good one up for friends or family. If YOU were involved (giving or receiving) some hoax for April 1st, add a comment at the bottom. Sometimes they can be a blast to hear about!
I was too busy with work to get any exercising in during the week, but AM planning on getting out for my jog right after I finish this blog post!
Also, I’ve really been trying to keep up with my twitter posts, and auto-posted phone pics, so if you want up to the minute details, be sure to check those out. I’m still very torn about posting relationship stuff to this blog. Of course that’s a very big part of anyone’s life, and so how could I leave something like that out of MY page? But at the same time, if I were to write, I would want to be able to write WHATEVER I felt at the time, and often that could be painful to one or more people, and that’s just not me either.
Later this evening I plan to get back over to Leslie’s and help her hand Michael finish up some computer set-up stuff we didn’t finish last weekend. I got her running on Fedora Linux and she’s really been enjoying it, but still needs a bit of help trying to set up her new home network, and other light admin stuff. It’s fun. I enjoy helping her out with Linux stuff. However, Traci has some new play, that it sounds like is ONLY going on tonight. It also sounds interesting and I’d like to go, but probably not alone, so well see if Joy or another friend is up for it. Maybe I can push around my Linux stuff with Leslie a little.
Work:
Very stressful Monday morning, trying to get set up for the class I’m suppose to teach in just a couple hours, and not having complete documentation as to how to do some things, and also not having a few needed files! Some of it I could have (should have) avoided by grabbing the files and shooting an email to a couple folks last week, but even last week was busy. Still, not really an excuse. In the end the class got set up, and from that point on everything fell in to place perfectly! Back in my element…. and by just Tuesday, I was feeling happy and alive again. Teaching really does do it for me. :)
Had a cute girl in class this week! Cute girls and Linux are a rare combination. Some how those classes always just seem a little more fun. However, I must also say I’ve never taken it beyond a light flirt, hardly enough to be noticeable, as to not single anyone out or disrupt class. There has only been one time in 10 years I met up with someone who had been in class, and it was she who contacted me afterward. We tried to date for a few months, but the distance was an issue. Anyway, class ended a bit after lunch on Friday (as usual). Made it to the airport, caught my flights back home, and nothing extremely exciting to report.
House:
Nothing really new on the house front. I am getting a daily report of various property on the market, and have looked over a couple, but need to spend more time doing that. Thanks to my mother’s help, my current house has still made a little progress toward being ready to rent out, even with me gone last week. Hopefully I can find extra time to put in to it this weekend.
Wrap-up:
Well, looks like it’s about time for my 2 miles today! I’m looking forward to getting the job route back up to three miles, but that will take a couple more weeks at this point! Whenever I get out of it for a while, and back in, I always feel like such a big fatty…. not because I think I’m fat, but just because some muscles have loosened up and everything seems to jiggle around a lot more… hmmm… at least it won’t be too much longer and THAT will stop.. heh (EDIT: 1st mile in 10 min flat. 2nd mile… oops.. still having to walk a quarter to half of that… hmmm)
Lots of other things I want to do today (shopping for travel items, lunch with family, re-pot some pepper plants, pack up things in house, etc), so I’m off!
