I am in a reasonably good mood. Sitting here drinking a blue moon. The good mood won't last I know I'll be down in the dumps in depression soon. Maybe a little paronoid. I tried to reach Matt, and left a voice mail. He left a voice mail before that to me. My parents are tucked away in the middle of week 2 of their vacation. My Aunt S is probably expecting to hear from me over the weekend. Tomorrow is my Thursday inquisition as I am calling it. I meet with lapdog and skeletar at 10AM. We go over the projects and then my 6 out of 14 deficiencies in the qualities of a programmer analyst 2. Today the design review didn't go well. For levity I am reminded of an old suicide note trivia from Carnegie Mellon. It is called archetic's leap.

When your feeling like a jerk

because your design just won't work

go ahead and take the leap

and then you'll finally get some sleep

There is a rectangle shaped open stairwell in Wean Hall at Carnegie Mellon about 8 floors. Most people take the elevators. The poem is written on the walls as you go down the flights. On the bottom is a chalkline body. On the wall are statistics, as in: scream, splatter, accuracy. Spent way too much time describing this.

My dog Lucy is sick. Today Tom was out. S is complaining she can't get anything done, the vet is too slow, heat too hot, D.G. a lady we known is unhelpful and the insurance company denied the kidney shield. I started ch 11 of VB. This Carl Hiasen book is funny. Z skipped soccer today again second week. R comes home tomorrow. S wants me to steam clean the rugs because the dog keeps peeing. Today my neck was hurting. Now my hand hurts, carpal tunnel. My broken toe hurts too.

For lunch I went to steak and shake. First I spent 30 minutes looking on line to see if A&W hot dogs have pork. Then I went anyway I have a coupon. They were closed. I passed two pizza huts on the way to steak and shake. I have a pizza hut coupon too. Then passed a third pizza hut on the way back to M-CARE. For dinner I had a roast beef sandwhich.
