Today is the Friday off. We work 9 days every two weeks here. I have to do few things today: go to hoover place to find some attachments which were gone during moving year ago. I got $30 from insurance for that. Hope it will not cost more than $30. I have to go to bank. And go to lab to have my medical results. I am going to make some dumplings for daddy. Also to spend some time in the mall to see if any winter cloth on sale. My friend told me some high quality sweather only costs $8 a peice. May be I am too late for that. Tax time is here too and I have to do some paper work. Clean-up the apartment and change sheets do lundary.

Tomorrow I will go to Washougal with a couple who works at DOE. Be back on Sunday.

Having a good weekend.

Had cream of wheat for breakfast. Vince had eggs and Edda is having a banana.

Happy new year to evryone! I made two cakes for officemates. Other lady made two too. My carrots cake was gone very fast and my cheesecake was gone too. At last, everything was gone.

I can be a volunteer in soup kitchen after I retire. Or sell my carrots cake.

Maybe I should be a Police Officer.

Sigh. I really really hate going into interviews and blowing them. It’s quite a trend these days. I’m beginning to think that computer science is no longer the path for me. Do I really care about esoteric things like what a comma operator does in C? Do I really care about what makes Lisp a good programming language? Do you really need to know the definition of syntax? Maybe it’s time to call Specialized…

Incidentally Vince is selling himself short with the T-shirt. He needs this.

So after a week of puking and other disgusting deeds, Rudy had become a smelly dog. I don’t think she had had a bath for over a year. She doesn’t really like baths, but she submits to Jeremy’s will.

Vince is obsessed by his birthday. We looked at this website. OK, you people out there, he is partial to the Thomas the Tank Engine T-shirt! Ha ha, trolling for gifts. Please forgive me!

I hate taking baths.

Pretty excited that can see Mom two consecutive weekends (2/19 & 2/26) starting next week. This time, I can also stay ~ a day longer and leave Richland at evening hours because I take the overnight flight with red eyes. Of course, I do it the cheapest way, stopover all over the place. But, the total time is the same anyway. In order to pay all these, I am going to put as much overtime as possible this week because those two weeks are my short week.

Well, I execise ~ everything 30 minutes starting 5:30 AM in the morning with 2 miles walk. I am also taking my high blood pressure medicine with stronger dosage. Hopefully, it will under control.

Off to my friend Choon’s YACNYD. This time it’ll be steamboat and I’ll remember to bring a camera. I made a crappy copper bowl in class today. I hate it. It’s cracked. GRR. I’ll post a picture later. Off to Ranch 99 to pick up some dungeoness crab!

This afternoon, I received a call from Mom returning my previous call. It really surprised me that Mom knew how to retrive voice message from her cell. Surprise and a giant step forward for Mom, indeed. I have called Mom numerous times, she never called back once because all voice messages were in hibernation mode in her cell. What a surprise and I love it because I can leave messages from now on.

Don’t use Wisconsin quarters. Some of them have US mint mistake. If the quarter has one more leaf, it worths about US $1,000.00. Hope, you guys have a lot of those 🙂
