2 more days. Two more days and I will be with B. In the cold. I couldn't have a found a girl in SoCal or Hawaii. No, I have to find one in MI. What the fuck is wrong with me? Don't answer that.

Didn't really do jack shit yesterday and I am going to pay for it today. I need to buckle down and get a ton of work done today. I have three weeks left to finish this training guide I am working on and it has to be approved, reviewed, and a dry run completed. I am looking at a good 10-12 hour day today. I can do it.

My router is really pissing me off right now. My desktop is acting flaky with it, the kid's brand new machine won't connect to it, and streaming is a nightmare. When I get back from this trip I will be getting a new one. Right now almost everything in this house is hardwired which is annoying as fuck.

I did manage to get the kid's new machine somewhat complete yesterday. She still needed real software installed on it - Office, Acrobat Pro, etc. One benefit of my job is being a Microsquish partner. After a few attempts due to network issues, I was finally able to get Office 2013 downloaded and installed on her machine. Acrobat was easy. She had reader on there, but reader is useless. She needed pro to create her own. That too is done.

I will also say Windows 8 sucks balls. At least on a laptop/desktop. I can see how it would be useful on a tablet, but man it's so clunky on real machines. Worked on my puzzle last night. Almost done. 2000 pieces. I think this is the biggest one I have ever done. Of course they have a 3000 piece one at the store...

Watched a few episodes of Batman after finally getting everything hardwired and eliminating my stream issues. Hit bed around 10. Talked to B for a little while and then went to sleep. We found a great new app yesterday called Avocado. It's meant for couples - a private place to chat, maintain lists, calendars, etc. It's private between you and one and only one other person. Takes us both one step closer to eliminating our usage of Facebook. I really want off there. It's just so ugh. I have been on there since 2006 and it's outlived it's usefulness in my mind. Nothing but inane crap. Will not be sorry to be off.

That's about it. Time to start writing docs.
