Slept like a fucking log last night. I think it's because despite some setbacks, I finished my training. 180 slides, 22 demos. It's now under review. Hopefully there won't be too many changes. But if there are, they should be minor. Yes, I am up at 6:30 on a Saturday. No, I have nothing to do. I am up because I want to be up and I slept well. So screw it. Hello day, be my bitch.

The setbacks I had yesterday - ah, well that's another story. I helped out a coworker on her first time teaching one of our classes and that meant my system was sucking down resources faster than a fat kid at an all you can eat shrimp buffet. Add to that me trying to do demos, multiple remote desktop sessions, powerpoints, etc and it was a recipe for disaster. My machine locked up three times and at one point I didn't think it was coming back up. When it did come back up as a pre-caution I moved all my work stuff to a backup on my laptop, moved anything important off the local hard drive onto externals, etc. In case this thing dies, I will be okay. I can't complain - I have had this desktop almost four years and in that time haven't had to do much of anything. Better than any PC I have ever owned. But everything has a MTBF and I think my time may be near. The computers. Not mine. My MTBF is a ways off. Trust me.

I have too many things left to do with B. I am so looking forward to when she moves in. I want the normalcy of here being here. I want to have a stupid traditional relationship. Ugh. I can't explain it. I know what I want in my head. Kind of like I will always be jealous of people who had childhoods where they played with the neighbor kids and rode bikes and didn't get beat or sit in the dark because the power was out.

Did all the laundry yesterday too. That felt good. I am still frustrated with the kid. She needs to start doing her own laundry. Three weeks of clothes because I was on the road and not there to do it for her. Her excuse was she didn't know where the laundry card was even though it is always in the same place. Add to that her pigsty of a room and her stupid ass boyfriend and that too is a powder keg about to blow. Luckily in four days I will be gone for almost three weeks. Enough time to cool off about it.

I think I will go to Target this morning. One of my lamps died.
