A sad day yesterday. Not sad because of any events, just sad upstairs in the ol' noggin. Spent eh day staring at the screen waiting for things to get fixed on the client side. They finally did at 1pm. By that point I was in no mood to do anything. I will probably work today, tomorrow, and Monday to make up for it. While all that was going on the kid was in a less mopey mood but not happy either. We both kind of just were here yesterday but not really. We didn't leave the house except for one trip around 5 where we went and got rabbit food. I cleaned out the rat cages.
Yeah, that's about it. I was supposed to go over to a friend's house and start a new D&D campaign but didn't feel like it. Just didn't want to move. TGF hung out with her friends most of the night. She called me around 9 all sad as well. She was feeling bad because first she locked her keys in her car then she knocked over a hookah which burnt her bathroom rug and then finally while hanging out with her 'friends' she realized that except for one of them she no longer has anything in common with them. That last one is tough. I have been there and know how that feels. I tried to remind her of all the new friends she has made in the last six months who care about her, but it wasn't getting through. I get it. I did the best I could trying to make her feel better. The kid and I for most of the night had a Buffy/Angel marathon. We stayed up until almost one watching episodes. Mostly because I wanted to know the truth about Dawn. It was pissing me off.
Tonight is a show and oh yeah, New Year's Eve. Whoop dee doo...

Another late start this morning. My enthusiasm is waning for this project because of all the errors on the client side. I can't find the motivation to move quickly.
Spent the day chasing down errors yesterday. No resolution still. I really can't remember what else I did yesterday during the day because of it. I didn't go anywhere, I know that. TGF got up around 11:30 and we spent time together while I worked. I made everyone food. Everyone being me, TGF, and the kid. Who by the way is in a crappy ass mood. She is sad because the boyfriend went out of town for New Years and couldn't bring her with him. And add to that her monthly feminine issue and what I have is hormone central going on.
I did spend some time writing an email that I plan to send to my directors next week. It basically says it's been six months since TGF and I started going out and while you don't have to like her you have to accept that we are a couple or you're going to lose me. That's the long and short of it. I was going to send it yesterday but after getting some feedback from other people and watching some drama unfold in our mailing list about some other things, I decided the best approach is to wait until next week. Chicken shit of me? Yep.
Around 4:45 I was supposed to leave to go do training with a friend. As we left TGF went to get in her car and go home. Unfortunately she left her interior light on all night and her battery was dead. Luckily she had jumper cables but they were buried under 40 pounds of crap in her trunk. I snapped a little because she was making me late and it was a ridiculous amount of junk in there. I told her she really needs to clean out her car. I wasn't mean about it, just frustrated at trying to help her out. I ended up being about 5 minutes late so it wasn't a big deal but...
I trained my friend for about 2 hours. Her boss saw me there and was happy that he was getting free training for one of his employees. Since we were doing it after hours and under the radar it was cool. She then took me out for dinner as a thank you. That was nice. We had a good talk and relaxed. I got home around 8 something. Watched X-Files with the kid who was still in a grumpy mopey mood, then headed to bed.
Called TGF and my earlier thing about cleaning was bad. You see the minute she walked in the door her mother jumped on her about cleaning her room because 'you can't start a new year with a messy room!'. Um sure. Whatever? She was completely stressed out and my comments about cleaning her car hadn't helped. We talked for about an hour and I got her somewhat in a better mood. Let's see today how much better.
Fell asleep around 11. I guess I needed the sleep as I didn't get up until 8 this morning. Now back to my database issues...

I had a very frustrating work day yesterday and am not looking forward to today. First off I got up later than I wanted because of the time difference between me and the client. I was hoping to be up at 5 to work on their stuff but that didn't happen. We are having a DB connection issue and the one guy who is able to offer the most help is in the UK and pretty much done by 8 or 9am my time. This really messes up the schedule. I tried working all day and was sitting waiting but got almost nothing accomplished. I don't want to have to defend myself to my bosses, but at the same time I have very little to show. Frustrating.
I did run a couple of errands yesterday. One of which was going to target to get some 'normal' stuff we were almost out of or already out of - garbage bags, razors, toilet paper, etc. It's amazing how much more of that stuff I go through with people in the house. You don't realize it when you live alone but it's a luxury that a roll of paper towels lasts two weeks instead of three days. I know, first world white whine problems.
The second errand was a little more self serving. I bought a large bulletin board. 36x48. For a while I have had this blank section of wall which I had no idea what to do with. It's big and empty. I figured it out. I guess I was waiting for the moment when I had something important to put up there. On said bulletin board are our Disney pins. And pictures from the last three Disney trips. I fucking love it. It makes me happy. I need a little light to shine on it but otherwise, it's awesome. There's pictures of me and TGF, the kid and KBF, and then all 200 of our pins.
TGF came over around 3 yesterday, also loving the board, and we just hung out. I made slow cooker gumbo for friends who were coming over later and it was a cooking. We played some video games, relaxed, had afternoon sex, then waited for our friends. The kid had spent the day with her mother and came home around 5 with stories to tell. She ended up going to the city with her mother, sister, aunt, and two cousins. They drive her insane. They are so not like us that she wants to strangle them. They act like they are from another planet sometimes. She had some fun stuff to share with us.
Our friends came over around six. We had a nice time just talking, eating gumbo, and hanging out. They brought us sixteen new pins from their Disney trip. Our board is looking good. Six complete collections. Oh yeah.
We went to bed around 11 and then proceeded to have sex again. Twice. Yes, three times in one day. Yeah.
This is why I overslept again this morning. Oh well. Time to log on and see if anything useful happened while I slept...

Man I made a huge mistake last night - no nothing stupid or anything. More silly than stupid. X1 showed up at her mother's yesterday for the holidays and the kid went over there around 3 then went to work at 6:30. TGF went home around 6 to spend time with her family. So, here I am all alone by 7. Sitting around doing nothing I decided to watch some stuff in my instant queue on Netflix. Remember, night time, all alone. What do I decide to watch? The first Paranormal Activity. Yeah. That was a mistake. Freaked the hell out myself. Oh man that was dumb. When the movie was over around 9 something I had to turn on every light in the house and talked to TGF on the phone for an hour before I was able to go to bed. I knew it wasn't real but boy did it freak me out. Movies like that always do yet I watch them. Slasher movies don't bother me. I love me a good hack and slash. But the more subtle freaky kind trip me. Shudder.
The day itself was okay. I am having some work issues and still fighting it right now. Too many people were out of the office yesterday which made it challenging for me to get any kind of reasonable response on issues. I spent most of the day battling a connection issue. I am still fighting it this morning but I got up early on purpose to make sure they were all still in the office. Once I get this issue resolved I can keep working without them, but right now I am stuck. Frustrating. This is the one downside to working remote and being in different time zones. When you need a quick answer forget it.
After battling that for a while the three of us went out for a quick bite to eat. Well first we went to the Danish bakery for some cookies, the SPCA to see about adopting a snake and/or a bird, then to the Hawaiian BBQ for some lunch. Back home around 3 and then it was video game time. As I said, the poor kid had to leave early. She was not happy at the thought of seeing her mother and dealing with that shit. Let's see what she is going to have to do today.
Me and TGF played more Disney and got frustrated at all the hidden shit. Another game not meant for those with OCD that's for sure.
Today I am working and then tonight some friends are coming over for dinner and to bring us new Disney pins they got on their last trip. This should be a fun evening.

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.

Christmas was a success. BAMF. A 100% knock it out of the mother fucking park success. Rampant commercialism attacked my house in all its glory. It was a magical wonderful time of year. Yes, in some respect I am being sarcastic, but I am also being truthful because I haven't felt this useful and happy on Christmas in quite a while. Even when I was with X2 it didn't come as close as the feeling I had yesterday. Time for the play by play...
I woke up at 6:20. I knew I wasn't going to get anyone else up at that time so I went ahead and puttered around for a while. Did my blog entry, read my comics, etc. At 7:50 I started making cocoa for the three of them and 8:02 I made them all get up using my mouth of doom at volume levels that would hurt normal humans. But hey, one is my offspring, the other is dating the offspring, and one is with me - get used to it people.
I sat them all in their proper spaces and the commercialism of Christmas began. I made sure I included KBF by having him open the "To Everyone" gifts. This made the kid happy that I included him in things. A small sampling of what I got yesterday:
- a new necklace from the kid
- from TGF - a tigger pillow, video game, tea set with tea, a t-shirt, a fuzzy blanket, Disney pins
- from KBF - dish towels (really nice ones too)
- from 'Santa' - a new printer, a hot dog machine, more video games, two books, a t-shirt, a jacket
The best part was when TGF opened her presents. Little Miss "I can't be surprised" was surprised. Don't fuck with me kids. I am the master of the holidays. When she opened Season 1 of the UK version of Skins the look on her face just filled me with such satisfaction, joy, and happiness. Yeah, I did that. I found you the UK version of the show you love. Yep. Me. Good boyfriend. Pat me on the head and promise me sex later. Yep.
Around 11 everything was opened, looked at, and things cleaned up. From there KBF had to go to his family stuff, the kid had to go to grandma's house, and me and TGF settled in to play some of the new video games. You know how awesome it is to have a girlfriend who enjoys playing video games?? We played for an hour or two then I used the new hot dog machine to make lunch. She ended up leaving around 3 to do her family stuff. I spent the rest of the day cleaning up and getting as much put away as I had energy to do. The tree is still up, but everything else is gone. The kid came back around 5 and my friends came over at 7. Me, the kid, and two of my friends proceeded to have the traditional Chinese food dinner.
Back home at 8 and the kid went to bed. She had to be at work at 4am this morning. I stayed up and talked to TGF for a while, set up the new printer, and relaxed. In bed and asleep by 11. Happy fucking Christmas to me.
I hope all of you dear readers had a good day too.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IT'S CHRISTMAS
Yep. It's Christmas. Happy happy joy joy happy happy joy.
Woke up a few minutes ago and the wave of happiness that came over me was incredible. Not alone today. Not alone.
Spent most of the day yesterday in the house getting ready for today. Cleaned, organized, prepped for dinner, got my Christmas movie set ready, playlist ready for this morning. KBF and TGF were both over by 2 and we started in watching Christmas movies - Die Hard, followed by 5 episodes of South Park Christmas specials, followed by Grinch, Charlie Brown, and finished up with Always Sunny. Oh yeah.
Made cornish game hens, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and a pecan pie. AND a small Christmas miracle happened - I had ONE present still on order that wasn't supposed to get here until next week but it arrived yesterday. JOY!
Oh man I am fucking happy today beyond belief. Time to do this!

Best part of yesterday morning was when I send an email out to 4 of the people I am working with and within seconds three come back with OOO responses. Yeah, I am not 100% today. I did some work yesterday but kind of goofed a little bit. Around 2 I wrapped it up and went out to do some shopping. Mostly it was grocery shopping as we were running low on food and household items. Plus I am doing dinner tonight for the kid, TGF, and KBF so I wanted to pick up something nice. I also stopped at Best Buy because my headphones broke on the NY trip and headphones are something I need. I ended up finding a nice pair of Sony noise canceling headphones for $50. Of course I wrapped them up when I got home. I also did stocking stuffer shopping yesterday. All three stockings are filled and ready to go. TGF had gone home around 1 as she needed to clean her house. She procrastinated most of the day about it though. I hung out with my friend while she was doing all that. Got back around 5 and started in on laundry. KBF came over and they were all snoggy on the couch until she had to go to work at 9:30. I don't know what time she got home this morning but yesterday she ended up working until after 5am. I expect she got home at a similar time today. Right before I went to bed I got a text from a friend who is down at Disneyland for Christmas. He found us five more pins! Yay! We are even closer to completing two more collections now. Talked to TGF for a while before going to bed around 11 something.
I am so excited for tonight and tomorrow I think I might explode. I need to do some house cleaning today, but otherwise it's just going to be that long haul between now and tomorrow morning. I can do it. I can make it before exploding. I hope.

Getting a late start today. Ended up going to a Christmas party last night very last minute and very unplanned. And now I pay for it. Although the nice part is that while I am getting a late start it's not THAT late. It's only 8:30 which is when most people get into the office. In my case though since I am working with east coast and UK folks on this project to them the day is almost over. From that perspective I am getting a very late start. Oh well. Deal with it.
Day started with a very early meeting. 6:30am to be exact. One of the persons in the UK when I got on the call realized "oh dear, you're not in the east coast offices are you? This must be a god awful time". Yes, yes it is, but I can hang.
Worked until about noon when I went off to lunch with a friend. That turned into a bit of a hairy adventure. We went to this one place where the service was just awful. While we were at lunch the kid calls to tell me she got got called into work and had to be there in 20 minutes. Um yeah, not going to happen. We hadn't even received our food yet. We managed to get them to throw something in a bag for us which was nowhere near what we ordered. I got to the kid about 25 minutes later and she went off to work from 1:45 until 4. She then had to go back from 10pm until 4am. I haven't seen her yet this morning to know how well that worked out for her.
TGF came over around 3 or 4 and when I finished working we started watching Once Upon a Time. Wow. What a great show. How the hell have I missed this?? We got through three episodes. While we were watching the third my friend called and invited us to her last minute Christmas shindig.
We got there around 8. They had it in the clubhouse at their apartment complex. There were about 8 of us and we had fun playing pool, drinking, etc. It ended up going later than I planned because I drank more than I planned, but oh well. We got home around 1 and crashed out.
It's almost Christmas and I can't wait. Today I am working from home again and then heading out this afternoon for stocking stuffers.

Christmas Christmas Christmas! It's almost Christmas. Yay! I am so excited this year because I actually have someone to share it with. Someone who makes me happy. Yay!!
I am awake and functional this morning. Do not ask for more than that.
Had a good productive day yesterday. Even though I worked from home and had the kid and TGF here most of the day I managed to ignore them both and get through quite a bit. Worked from about 7am until TGF got up and then we talked for a while. The kid got up a little later around 10. Both were feeling pretty crappy still but for different reasons. TGF felt like shit because she had a hangover. Um duh? She kept apologizing and it took most of the day but it finally sunk in that she had nothing to be sorry about. It happens and guess what as long as we are together, it will happen again. We will see each other drunk and odds are puking. Deal with it.
Around 11 I started making my apple butter. It takes 10-12 hours to cook and I have been waiting until I had a day at home to start it. I just realized I didn't leave the house yesterday but that's okay. Around 1, TGF went on home. Around 3:30 the kid passed out on the couch. I just kept working through all this.
I finished up around six. Talked to TGF for a while on the phone. The kid was finally happy because KBF called. I am wondering what is going on with him. He better not have been using my kid to get laid. I swear if he dumps her before the end of the year I will bitch slap that little shit three ways to Sunday. Hell even better I will sic my director on him. She will kick his ass for me. He I think is just a dumb guy who doesn't think but he needs to realize he is hurting my kid which is NOT a good thing.
Watched some Buffy and some Angel. Kid went off to work around 8 as she had to work from 9pm to 1am. I finished jarring up my stuff around 11 and went off to bed. Talked to TGF for a little while. She found out she is free Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. YES! I get to experience waking up with someone and opening presents. That too is fueling my excitement.
66 hours to go baby...
