It's fun when all your forms of
procrastination end up being useful somehow. Like typing a few words into
your journal between poker hands, when you should be paying just a little more
attention to The Book (ahem).
----- wrote, had trouble responding sooner b/c her computer is still in the shop. Asked how I felt about meeting. "I'd really, really like that," I replied.
I felt good today. The Metrowerks grand unification recipe worked. At least I haven't found any flaws yet, and some things go more smoothly. I am plodding along with Palm OS, see appropriate pages... Green tea - the organic stuff from Celestial Seasonings... awesome effects on my psyche and waking state. Energy. Up dosage of ginkgo to previous 2x120 daily. Using extra vitamin c and garlic last 2 days, seems beneficial. Garlic in large amounts requires extreme fluid (water) intake and promotes more frequent bowel movements. It was a relief to finally have a nice easy relaxing Saturday night at the club with a day off tomorrow (Bastille Day). Worked the wee wee hours last night until 10 am when ----- came and relieved me. I earned a good bunch of $ this week. Need it. And a good little poker session has me down to nearly $4k debt.
----- is (now seriously) planning on
going to Costa Rica for football season, which would leave me in charge of the
fort and the three stinky beasts. I'm not psyched about doing 6 months of
cat box detail. I have no idea what I should charge for that - I'll have
to do some research and come up with a fair figure, like 1/3 to 1/2 of what a
cheap service would do it for. Knowing -----, of course, there's still at
least a 35% chance she'll not go, no matter how definite she sounds, until she
has her tickets.
