Just regular folks.

Listen to Vince sing his ABCs!

I worked 78 hours last week which was a record for me. This week it is going to be above 70.

Just got a new assignment and they will last toward end of March at least. At end of February, I should hear something definitively about Altanla. Will decide at that time.

Next week, it is going to be a short week for me and will see Mom and bring back more beggar’s bowls. Mom is great. Help me a lot doing my work. Thanks, Mom 🙂

I looked at my financials today. I think my burn rate is a bit higher right now than I expected. After subtracting out my bills, I’ve got about 4-5k left in the bank. Assuming I spend 1K a month… well you can do the math. I can spend probably 750 a month if I really tighten down – which I’m going to have to now I think. Anyways, just another stress to add to my list. Wheeeee!

So Edda hasn’t been eating too well for the past day or so, but today it seemed as if she wanted to eat again. But it all came up later. Perhaps her stomach is bothering her.

I’m sorry I puked on you.

Thanks mom! Got the package! Yah!

Well, I’m on my way to recovery now. Yesterday was hump day. I woke up feeling pretty good, but I went out with a couple friends on a (short and flat) walk for about 20 minutes that I suffered on. After that I just went home and napped. Then I went to a Super Bowl party. My fever’s down, and I’m off the drugs but still feeling kinda achy all over still.

Mom. I got your package. Thanks! I think everyone in my house is amazed at how many people send me stuff. 🙂 It’s nice to feel loved.

Other than that, a friend of mine mentioned to me how he thinks a job that has high immediacy would be good for me. A job that demands you deal with something right then and there. Funny, but I think it’s true, since it seems like I’m no good at planning things.

A friend of ours, who we met in Austin, Cindy Goldberg, moved to France on assignment for Motorola 2 years ago. She met a Frenchman while she was there and is getting married to him in June. We just got the invitation in the mail from them! Look! They are getting married in a castle! And we’ll be there!

Last night after we got home from the zoo, Vince suddenly had a pretty high fever (102F). We gave him some Tylenol and he went to bed and this morning, he got up fine. I let him sleep in (today is a school day and he usually gets up at 7) but by 8:30 he was fine and wanted to go to school and see Ms. Pat. No fever and he ate his whole breakfast. Talk about a fast bug.
