Change in Plans

I am going to travel to Oregon on Thursday to help bring the truck back home through Canada. I need to clear up a couple more details though. One, I need someone to take my call shift on Saturday (that should be easy). Two, I need to figure out how to get from the Portland airport to our place on the coast. Three (easy), I need to finalize details for boarding the dogs. Four (not too hard), I need to get someone to water my precious little greenhouse tomatoes.

Overall, it looks like the weather is changing back to its normal rainy mode. There is a mist now. It actually feels very nice. The garden will like it. I wish I had planted more seeds.

Day's End

Managed to get through quite a few statements today. Spent 3 hours on this. I have only about 70 more to enter into the database. Then I can start the really hard work. It is frightening to think that this is the easy part.

Making sure every statement makes sense etc. seems harder. Still just going over the statements over and over seems to help coalesce them. When I started the vocabulary just escaped me. I could not even describe the concepts let alone name them. Now some of them have awkward names, some have no names. But the phenomena are described.

Another problem at the start was that there was one idea and it had a lot of different names. That seems to be getting under control too.

Also some of the names just sound dumb. Like the word/concept of linkage/leakage. That sounds stupid. I know. But I just can't be making up new words to describe the linkage/leakage phenomenon. I don't really know what to do about that problem.

Oh well, tomorrow I will try again.

Truthfully . . . I am already tired of it.

Sunday Afternoon

Well I didn't get very far with the theory statements. I guess I have developed a habit of chopping weeds every day. Its like I just feel drawn to that activity. Why?

For a reward I worked a little while on the ocean beach meditation path. That was fun. Now I better get to work on that theory!

Sunday morning - May

Just had to stop because someone brought their dog by for us to look at (except I am the only one here today). The dog had a cute face and a quiet manner but her poor left front leg was hanging out to the side. Probably broken. So its owner is going to try to get an xray.

Still it got me moving.

One sad thing happened yesterday. A little bird fell from its nest on our roof onto our deck. It was quite dead when I found it. It had no feathers and a big baby belly.

Plans for today include working on the web page. What I need to do right away is to finish the PDA page, make a b-day page for Al and Matt, put up some photos (maybe some salmon derby boats), and maybe a saying or two. Then I want to take a look at using another option to compose a page and posting that.

The other thing is that the theory is coming along nicely. I had a pretty good conversation with my Mom about it yesterday. (Actually, my kids and mom are pretty supportive). I told my mom I am going to put her on my mentor list. She asked for a copy to read.

Well anyway, I am going to work on that. I am on call for another 3 hours. I can handle that OK. No big deal.

Could be Another Beautiful Day

We have a sunny day out there and here I am sitting inside my little upstairs cool and dark alcove on my very hard chair . . . waiting to wake up, waiting to warm up. Makes me feel reptilian as I wait for the aspirin to kick in so I can move around a little bit better.

I felt so bad about the web page having all those stupid template links that I went ahead and spent time after work yesterday getting rid of them. The website is still quite BORING. And I guess this is too.

I was on call last night. Actually have 24 call hours over the weekend. The town is pretty quiet though so barring some boating accident I am not likely to be called in.

We are currently in the event known as the Salmon Derby. For about 3 weeks all people (not commercial) go out and fish for King Salmon. The biggest fish gets a big prize - - - thousands of dollars. Everyone gets fish. They can take one fish a day. Thats a lot of King Salmon. And they love it.

As for myself, I will be working on my theory off and on and also my garden. Yay!

UPDATE

Been quite a while since I posted here. I actually pushed on any finished the PDA project and the MSN degree. In fact I finished on my birthday. I was so enthralled with my new initials that I actually attached them to my signature for about 5 emails.

Then I crossed them off. I am torn between wanting some kind of badge to wear on my forehead that proclaims my degree and the absolute knowledge that any badge like that would be detrimental.

The real value is inside. I have earned a set of work ethics and skills that will allow me to progress and grow in all kinds of directions. I started my website yesterday and worked on it today. I know it isn't very sophisticated. I freely admit . . .I DON'T KNOW HTML. That is rather obvious at the outset.

So I signed up with a web hoster that gives you easy-fix web page templates. I know it isn't very dashing. But it is a place to start. I am set up for 1 year and probably by then I will be able to do some better web building.

But in the meantime . . . .

I am going to post a link to this blogger.
Again, this isn't so fancy either. I don't have stacks of exciting things for people to look at. (OBviously)And I am not really funny either. And I don't like making fun of stupid things. I used to want to be a critic. But I wasn't very good at it. So never mind on that.
