I think all the kids are bored or something. I probably need to give them something to do. They’ve all wandered into the office multiple times while I’ve been trying to code, which makes it hard to concentrate. I don’t mind distractions, but it can be tough to get back into working mode afterward. Thursday,…

Happy Middle of the Week!
We’ve been having the worst luck with coffee lately. This morning, Alexis made herself some coffee, and while cleaning the French press, it slipped from her hands and shattered. Poor girl—she was so upset. She’s fine, thankfully, and I picked up all the glass so she wouldn’t cut herself. The problem is that we no…
Happy Tuesday!
The power glitched again yesterday—something far too common here. It’s not the house; it’s definitely the power company. I’ve never seen so many outages and glitches before. This time, my UPS and computer both shut off. I managed to power the UPS back on, but the computer itself won’t start. I suspect the case isn’t…
Sleepy Monday
I think we must have had some power glitches yesterday, because when I came home, my computer and UPS were both off. My computer has a particularly slow start-up—it took nearly 15 minutes of pressing the power button this morning before it finally turned on. Yesterday was a busy day. Tommy had a concert, so…
Random bits
Alex wants to try the new Oreo Reese’s Blizzard at Dairy Queen. He was about to take the girls but I told him it’s probably not open. I’m not sure what Dairy Queen’s hours are, but I’m pretty sure they don’t serve breakfast, so it wouldn’t be open this early. Karissa said she’ll get a…
Spilled coffee
This morning was spent taking Alexis to her dentist appointment. Beforehand, we stopped at our local coffee shop, where she got a coffee and a pastry. She didn’t eat the pastry since she had a dental appointment, but she sipped a little of her coffee. Kel, Alexis, and I then headed to the next town…
Baking bread
I’m baking bread again—started it around 10, and it should be ready by 3. I need it to be done by then anyway, since I have a doctor’s appointment at 4:40. Last night, the dome piece from my hearing aid got stuck in my ear when I took it out. It usually only happens if…
Coding
After only five hours of sleep last night, I went back to bed for a few more hours once Tommy and Kel left for work. Now I’m at my computer, coding, and debating what to have for lunch. I’m already hungry, but I still have an hour and a half to wait before I can…
Rambling Monday
I started my morning realizing my headphones were at 20%, despite charging all night. I swapped the cable and set them to charge in the dining room, hoping they’ll be fine. Meanwhile, I put in my hearing aids and kept my speakers low since the kids are still sleeping—though they probably can’t hear my computer…
Keyboard works again!
The poolish (bread starter) I made yesterday exploded out of its jar overnight—the lid kept it in just long enough before it spilled all over the counter. So, I made a fresh batch today and transferred it to a larger container, this time covering it with Saran Wrap. It should have plenty of room to…
