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.
