Terra and I successfully started our new routine this morning. Had a time of prayer after I took Wesley to his bus, then she did some homework, then we went and ran a couple errands. Got a couple more Halloween decorations I’m very excited about. I’ve decided I’m gonna go ahead and put up decorations…
Read More Friday, sept 28, 2012Forgot to mention she is on call tomorrow and someone said she should be expecting to be called in, which would take away the first day of she’s had in what seems like forever. That poor girl is very tired, sore, sleep-deprived at this point.
Read More Daily recap – Sept 24, 2012There’s a 430 AM now?!! We found out there is because that’s when we had to get up this morning. Today and tomorrow she goes in at 6am. Blah. She has reason to believe she will start her real schedule (2p-10p, 4 on, 2 off) on Saturday. Then, the next chapter of our life begins…
Read More Thursday, Sept 20, 2012 – There’s a 430 AM now?!!This morning was pretty chilly, but the rest of the day was quite warm – to warm for my taste. It got to 82 inside without me noticing – AC was off while I was doing house work. Now that I finally got some idea of how to pull decent shots of those Satellite beans,…
Read More Tuesday, sept 18, 2012I think I may have got it. I got a grind that smells great, dosed 16.5g and got a very foamy shot that tasted good. So, I updosed to 18 and got a substantially less foamy shot that tasted the same. Next I will try updosing to 19g. I haven’t mentioned the weather in a…
Read More Monday, Sept 17, 2012 – Terra’s first day at her new jobMoogle threw up his breakfast this morning – on the tile floor, fortunately – he hadn’t done that since before we moved in here and we’ve feared it. I guess we’ll start locking the kitties out a little while after their breakfast from now on. It was quite chilly this morning at Wesley’s bus stop. …
Read More Thursday, Sept 13, 2012My sleep debt is down to 7:38 thanks to not taking my phone to bed. But, I woke up very early and had a hard time getting back to sleep. Well, we go to bed at 9 and get up at 7 most days. So, a change will have to be made. But, I think…
Read More Wednesday, sept 12, 2012We got a couple small bottles of Torani syrup at Walmart the other day, caramel and vanilla. This morning, I made Terra an iced vanilla latte and I had an iced caramel Americano. We really do avoid flavoring coffee – we see it as what people do to cover the taste of bad coffee –…
Read More Tuesday, sept 11, 2012I swapped out the lock nut type thing from my old Kyocera grinder into the new Porlex grinder. The internals of the two seem to be identical yet we can’t seem to get as fine a grind. With this old nut in, it does cinch down tighter and I almost choked my espresso machine this…
Read More Monday, Sept 10It hardly matters since Terra’s side job is on Saturdays and we have to get up at the usual time anyway. Though, she’s usually home by 11 or 12 and then the weekend begins. And this weekend should be a good one :) I copped out and made tuna helper tonight. The chicken bake thing…
Read More finally Friday?
