a bit grumpy this evening. took my daughter to the doctor. he's a pediatrician, but his office isn't equipped to do x-rays. but he had her do some activities to asses whether she might have a broken bone.

he determined that she didn't have that, though she may have some pulled muscle or something. he figured it would go away on it's own, but told me to call him if the pain continued. he'd refer me at that point to a specialist.

that money i spent on that would have served better as tissue paper for my ass.

my nephew went out with a friend, but neglected to buy another air mattress. he's hanging out on the couch again watching tv. he'd better not get too comfortable.

i guess i need to run to wal-mart.

my wife is working late tonight, so i had to get the kids in the bed. they were uncooperative.

i'm tired. i'm sore from working out. i have a headache.

and, a friend at work asked me to exercise, er, i mean, remove a trojan from her PC. i can barely get the damn thing into safe mode.

and work was difficult in that i had a lot of reading to do to prepare for trying to make apache, php, perl, and mysql all work together *without* using lampp, xampp, or some webstack utility 'casue we need to update them all separately.

somebody help me . . .

I woke up about 04:30 this morning, again. But, I snoozed until about 05:11. Today was the day I would do cardio-- I keep that short, so I didn't really need to get up as early as yesterday. Yesterday, I did my upper body work-out, where I just get a weight bench and lift weights with all my upper body muscle groups. That takes more time and preparation, so getting up at 04:30 is necessary.

I made it to bed last night around 22:40. Not bad for a night owl like me.

My wife has also started exercising. This may be the first time we both started working out together. Usually, I'll work out and she won't. Then she'll start around the time I quit. I lose while she gains, I gain while she loses.

This time, I think we're going to work on this together. That might make the difference we need for consistency. We'll see.

I've got the kids off to school. After school, I'll be taking my daughter to the clinic to see what's happening with her back / tail bone. She romps and plays like nothing is wrong, but keeps complaining about it. Kids can be resilient sometimes. Gauging how serious their suffering is can be difficult.

My nephew's air mattress went flat again. He crashed on the couch. Bad idea.

Nobody sleeps on momma's couch.

Long story . . .

My son swears he didn't put the hole in the mattress this time started crying when I asked him questions about it. I guess he didn't do anything directly to cause it like the time before. I think he might have contributed to it, though. I've caught him and his sister bouncing on it over the holidays.

But, it went flat through the night as if something spontaneous caused it to fail. Not sure what's up. Slow leak, I guess.

Anyway, my wife hates for anyone to sleep on her couch-- that's her place to sleep on alone when she feels like it.

So, my nephew has put a bit of wear and tear on his welcome-- at least, as far as my wife is concerned.

I only care because I know the history and psychology behind the significance of the couch and my wife.

She doesn't want me to get our nephew a new air mattress. But, knowing what I know-- I had better stop by Wal-Mart tonight before bedtime and get him one. Gotta keep the peace, take advantage of game theory, and all that jazz.

Well, gotta eat some cereal and start getting ready for work. That's my next goal of the year-- to do a better job at work. That starts with showing up on time, ready to work.
