better

pm 8 october 1999

Yesterday after doing laundry my nose got all totally stopped up and I
was blucky all day at work.  Even this morning at 4am I had like major
sinus headache and couldn't breathe so I took two pseudophedrine
hydrochloride tablets.  Oh so much better.  Today I could breath but
my headache was still there off and on throughout the day.  This
evening at 8pm I took two aspirin.  (I don't know how to spell the
chemical name.)  Oh so much better now at 9:30pm.

Today at work I essentially created a firewall for a small portion of
our website.  One set of files must only be accessed by a certain IP
address, so I told our server to only serve that portion to the
particular IP address.  My boss thought I was pretty smart.  :-)

Tomorrow I will upgrade one Windows 95 machine to Windows 98 to see if
that corrects an intermittant printing problem.  Hopefull that will
fix it and I can look even smarter.

Kristen and I are going to watch a movie or something at her parents,
either Pulp Fiction or something else they might possibly maybe have
that I'd prefer to watch.

OH!!! I found on the internet the complete text to Hitchhiker's Guide
To The Galaxy trilogy!  I have the URL bookmarked at work..  hang on..

I can't find it now.  I found one that included Book I, but not all 5
books in the trilogy.

Okay, now we're going to watch a movie.

skate tired

8 oct 1999

I went skating last night but didn't really have the energy to do
much.  I fell once while jumping over a road hump thing.  The fall was
not bad, but was an indication that something was amiss in my skating
abilities.  I had never previously fallen while jumping a road hump!
(There are times when I don't make it all the way over the hump, but
that doesn't cause a fall.

On the way to downtown I kinda tripped once, jumping sideways off the
sidewalk into the street.

Once we got to Louisiana Street, I zipped down with traffic down past
Jones Plaza where Party On the Plaza was being held.  No problem doing
it this time, but I didn't have huge big crazy energy that I usually
do.

I rested at the plaza and then did the street thing once more.

This time I almost fell and it would have been really bad.  My right
skate hit a small pothole in the street (small like 3 inches across)
and I almost fell on my face.  I recovered quickly though and hopped
up onto the sidewalk.

Apparently it was time to go home.

On the way out, I saw Ryan!  He's one of my youth at Emerson, except
for the fact that I'm not currently a youth advisor there.  Met his
parents and sister.

Near City Hall, I saw some guys painting in the street. They were
measuring and marking 10 foot square blocks for some kind of booths
for a street fest type deal.  That was pretty neat.  A couple times he
lost track of what number he was s'posed to paint in the block, so I
reminded him, but he didn't thank me.

Got home, and I boiled some water for chicken soup tonight and forgot
about it and it all boiled away.  No harm done, fortunately.  It was
just water and I didn't cook the dry pot for too long.  Whew!

Sleep sleep sleep.
