Yesterday was good. Got up at 3:30 briefly to wake the kid up. She slept through her alarm as I had a feeling she would. It was no big deal for me. I was literally up for five minutes to make sure she got up. With that done I went back to bed until 7:30. Had to get over that it was Monday but was a holiday. My first thoughts were I needed to start working but oh wait, not today. That was weird yet nice. I was able to move at my own pace for the morning. I spent the morning reading my comics, relaxing, cleaning up the house, moving some stuff around to accomodate the new Christmas stuff, sent some emails, etc. Around 9:30 I took a long hot relaxing shower. One of those kind where you let the water burn the hell out of you because it feels good. I then started playing some of my new video games. The kid came home around 1 and TGF came over shortly thereafter. The three of us ventured out to the record store to see if we could find any good music to put on their new MP3 players. The trip was unsuccessful but we then stopped at the grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner and for the dinner we are having tomorrow. Our friends went to Disneyland over the holiday and scored us 16 (!!) new pins for our collections. In exchange I agreed to make them dinner as well as give them enough trader pins to cover theirs. They are coming over tomorrow night.
For dinner for us we had a mashup of Hawaiian and Chinese - spam musubi rolls with chicken teriyaki and pork buns. We watched the rest of Once Upon a Time and we are now caught up. I have the rest of the series set up in my DVR and when it starts airing again in January we are ready to go. I did get an interesting email from DirectTV speaking of television. It appears they will be raising their rates 4% come February. I guess I have one month to decide what I want to do. I am very seriously thinking now is the time that I cancel. I mean come on, I know I have been talking about it for three years, but I now have a google tv, an apple tv, an xbox, netflix, and all I have to do is add in Hulu and I am done. I will throw an HDTV antenna on for good measure and there won't be anything I can't find somewhere. Plus I would get more room on my patio. Oh speaking of that there are some new apartments near by they have just renovated that I want to go check out. They have a 2/1 town home which is slightly larger than mine for just about the same rent. My lease is up in a few months and if I get another raise here, it might be worth moving. I may go over there this afternoon and check them out.
When we got home I got a call from our director. At 5:48 she was calling me to come over for a birthday party at 7. Really? While I appreciate the call (even though I know other friends were called at 2), I am not about to drive a 1/2 hour on a work night to drink. Sorry. Not happening TGF or no TGF.
After dinner we watched a Buffy and then the kid who had been up for 16 hours and was getting cranky went off to bed. Me and TGF played video games but specifically we played the Disney game we got for Christmas. I love/hate that game. While it is made for kids, there are enough 'hidden' things to find to keep adults, especially Disney adults, entertained. 96 hidden attraction pins, hundreds of hidden Mickeys throughout the park, different award pins ARGH. We ended up playing from 9:30 until 11:30 and had she not stopped me we would have kept going. Never give someone with OCD a game that makes you find things. I won't stop. Not until the damn thing is complete. Some people don't understand why I use books or cheat codes on games. It's this reason. I am so OCD about certain things that I will play WAY too long to find everything. At least with books or cheats I can jump through it quicker and put it away.
Went to bed and spent some quality cuddling time before falling asleep. No sex but that is because of mother nature, not desire. Fell asleep around 1 something.
Working today on client's model. Having some issues so far, but nothing I can't deal with.
