I see you there
- There is a certain peace that comes with the understanding that something I was afraid to try wouldn't have worked out anyway. With the sadness of loss comes the satisfaction of knowing.
- I'm taking Celeste to the Texas State Fair this weekend. If I go on Friday it'll be a mad dash to pick her up from school and get out there and I'll probably drive and park and all of that. But if I go on Saturday the DART Light Rail now has a Green Line that runs to Fair Park. I'm thinking about parking in Plano and taking the Light Rail down. Maybe stopping for a late lunch at Mockingbird Station along the way.
- Celeste hasn't slept well for many nights. I know she has a sinus and ear infection, probably due to the change in weather, her teeth coming in, or both. I prefer not to give her Antibiotics every time she gets an infection but if this lasts much longer I'm going to take her in.
- As a way of increasing my aerobic activity and neutralizing the negative effects of electronic sedation without having to totally cut myself off, I'm in the market for a stationary bike, elliptical, or other aerobic exercise machine. I'd prefer to get my exercise under the big blue sky or a blanket of stars. But, often the only time I can find for it is once Celeste is asleep at which point leaving the house isn't an option.
- At some point in the past this site changed from a technical blog about web development and gadgets to a photo blog (which has moved). It has since changed again to become a blog about parenting, health, clean food, and life. I'm finally okay with that.
- I'm finally starting to accept Kyro's advice: I've lived a lot and experienced many things. Talking to a girl I don't know shouldn't be difficult. Even if I happen to have a baby on my hip.
- My In-Laws will more than likely be visiting Celeste during our trip to NY/VT. I am strangely okay with this. During my marriage to Jess I lived in great fear of their disapproval. This no longer plagues me. I see them simply as a set of people wishing to share Celeste's life. They are good people, they bring a positive influence to Celeste, and there's no way that's a bad thing.
- I overspent in the past month. Which really isn't a good thing to do before a vacation since I'll likely overspend then too. So I've got myself on lockdown for now.
- I need to find someone to care for my kitties while Celeste and I are in the Northeast. I hate asking for favors.
- Tonight is my first Tuesday without Celeste on the new schedule. I've got a light dinner, cleaning, web site editing, and photography on the slate all in small, undefined portions.
- I think my new glasses were made wrong. They hurt my eyes. A lot. So I have to go get them looked at today. If there is something wrong with them, hopefully they can get them fixed before I leave for the Northeast. If not, I'll be wearing contacts and my old glasses. I have a picture of them, but I'd rather not put it here. Let me know if you want to see. Don't worry, I'm fully clothed. ;)
