Day 197: I will have to soon reference back to day 100 when I switched from full words to numbers at the beginning of each post... I think I promised to make it even shorter on day 200. I will move that to the things to do list. Morning routine and got the boy off to school. Sat down on the bed and the wife called... she made words at me, apparently I lost another hour and hadn't recovered yet... yes words of some form, kinda hoping they weren't in any order or important... maybe I should ask her now what the call was about... na, that would be like poking a hungry bear with a baguette... and not a long one either... one of those deficient sub par ones. Likely to loose a limb you are.   Sidekick messaged a few minutes latter... the message was more simple and easy to figure out even at that time of the morning ( I have mentioned I'm not a morning person right? ) The message was: "Coffee 16 minutes" I pushed the thumbs up button and proceeded to the coffee maker. It's making funny noises... gotta clean it out some day soon. Straightened out some billing matters over coffee, sent invoices to the people who pay the bills, got the receipt book in order so he doesn't get taxed 4 times by the government for something he only sold once. All in order, Check Check Check. Which reminds me, I went to the post office when he left and there was a check in the mail... sure is was about 1/100th of the size of the bills that came in that same load of mail, but what can you do? Took the check and went for groceries... ya wasn't enough to cover those either. Bought ground beef, it was selling for a price I used to look at and think Holly Shit I'm not paying that much for garbage meat... Which coincidentally is the exact same price as I got it today which has become: WOW Shit Look, what a deal, I'm going to buy a whole $50 log of this shit before the price goes up again. I went home and put away the giant log of meat, I pushed it in bags a froze it. Argh, brakes need fixed still... going to back the car up to the garage, Oh wait Project X is still barfed all over the driveway. I go out and start putting the crap in the driveway away... it took all afternoon. Wait I found a lightbulb, I put that in the light hooked to the motion sensor outside in the driveway... I fixed the door so the wind doesn't just blow open... a new door handle and a lot of reshaping the door with a baby sledge hammer. Not pretty but it works. Lawson got home and help with the cleaning process moving things from the driveway into the back yard. I raked up the driveway some, still needs a lot of work to make things flat again but it needs to be done before the snow comes. Heather got home... for some reason she had dreams of pancakes on the way home, with chocolate chips and pecans smothered in butter and syrup... man this diet food is really getting to me. I made her dreams come true tonight... the boy wanted Kraft Dinner instead so that's what he got. I hooked him up down stair for his online hockey skills course tonight, he seems to enjoy it. While he was doing that I had a few choice words for Vistaprint, I will just leave it at they have no way of accepting money for orders from people who have actual money... you currently need to give your money to a credit card company and then they need to give it to a company that does their web page and then the web page people give it to them and then they likely give it to the people in the sweat shop in Guam... BUT they don't take cash, or etransfer, or paypal (or any other online currency)... Fuck maybe I could go down to the store and buy a hand full of gift cards, scratch off the code and give Apu in customer services the numbers over the phone... I don't know... So basically they don't want my money so Fuck them. Boy finished up, got ready for bed and we all packed it in for the night.
