I’m sorry for the downtime on the photo gallery (down since Monday night). I was doing a WordPress 2.8 update to my network blog via WordPress and all of the sudden most of my webfiles were deleted. I got WordPress back up and running here and over there, but it took some time to figure out why Gallery2 wasn’t working. I resolved that yesterday afternoon while waiting for something else to finish running.
So what’s new, you ask? Let me list the ways:
- My Tuba is broken. Well, let me rephrase that. It isn’t working too well.. I’ll limp along through tomorrow night’s rehersal and then our concert next Sunday and the following 4th of July concert. Then I’ll take it into the shop to get it fixed. I won’t need it again until rehersals pick back up in mid-August for a September concert in Windcrest, TX.
- I definately need a plumber for a hour or two around the house to fix all my plumbing related woes.
- I’m going on a trip in the future. Just going on this trip means I’m going to be super busy at work for the next week or so… No, not to Alaska.
- I now have an IPhone… Don’t ask… Not one of the new ones – this one is a used 3G. I like that the call quality is much better than the Fuze or other smartphone. I haven’t noticed any reception woes, either. It’s running 3.0 and I jailbroke it yesterday to fix some of the annoying problems (I hate the ringtones, email alert tones, and in general all of the notification options). Slingplayer works with my Slingbox Classic at home (even though it tells me that it isn’t supposed to work). That’s good since I can have the CWS game video on tomorrow at the rehersal. Does this mean I’m done with Windows Mobile? No. I just was given an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. I already miss the GPS features from the Fuze (the IPhone doesn’t have much other than XMaps or XGPS).
- Just finished making up meals for the rest of the week. Meatballs, spaghetti, and grilled chicken… I freeze the food, take some with me to the office for lunch and the rest for supper. Saves money and is more healthy. Today’s meal was a T-Bone steak (HEB has these cheap about once a month), Corn, Cucumber Salad, and broccoli spears. Nothing for tonight except the leftover corn and cucumber salad. Yum yum.
- Work sucks… What’s new there… I’m looking forward to July. No more Vision meetings. I can finally get my Friday’s back and I won’t have overtime that I have to take for pay (I prefer using overtime as time off, but the schedule has precluded that lately).
- Got back in touch with some former co-workers this past week…
- It’s definately too freaking hot to get things done outside. I water whenever I can, but that is it. Fortunately I don’t need to mow, but that time will be coming soon. Yesterday reached 98. It’s been around that or higher for the past week and it seems like it will be like that for the next week(s).
- Brought my weight set back out of my closet from when I was in high school. Getting in shape sucks, but is so necessary. I still walk daily and try to vary my routine (sometimes fast like sub-15 minute mile, sometimes I tackle hills, sometimes length – 5.5 miles being my longest). Allergies aren’t helping. Allergies bite (literally and figuratively). I’m taking my Claritin during the day and then an Actifed when I go to bed.
- It’s been two weeks since I’ve done Rock Band. The Wii has gotten more action lately (My Fitness Coach – which can definately kick my butt). Maybe July will be more liesurely.
I guess that’s it for now.. I won’t have any website updates for about two weeks or so… Hopefully a post here and there, but no promises.
