Soreness. Agony. Despair. Me.

Not really, but I am sore from helping my Aunt and Uncle move their office yesterday. It was a nice start but they still have a ton of stuff to move. Normally whenever somebody asks me to help them move I usually have something better going on where I can't help them, such as my sock drawer needs organized or my belly button lint needs knitted into a sweater, but Phyllis and Ron have been wonderful relatives and I will do anything in my power to assist them. So therefore, I helped them move a ton of furniture yesterday, and the best part about it is that whatever we moved that they didn't want they said we could have it. So now I have to figure out what older furniture I'm going to throw out to make room for the newer. I love free stuff that is in fairly decent condition. I must say we have been rather blessed with an abundance of it this year.

 

Work was great this week. Spreadsheets, invoicing, supply orders, front desk security, bagels and donuts, coffee, papers, papers, and papers...not exciting but employment. Thank you Lord for the wonderful company known as STG who put up with me on a weekly basis and have given me the opportunity to improve myself and learn about how federal contracting works. And I even have to say there is not a co-worker that I dislike. And no, I am not being sarcastic but sincere for a change.

 

On another note, my sister-in-law informed THE OMNIPOTENT MOMMY (aka Stacey) that since their Nintendo Wii is not the latest and greatest item to hit the market and the Xbox Konnect is, they have decided to rid themselves of the Wii monstrosity and therefore offered it to us. So now, we have a Wii system with the Fit game incorporated, and Stacey is excited beyond words can describe about it. Already Pooka and Princess are fighting over playing the thing, so I guess we will have to incorporate some rules. Hopefully no controllers go flying at the screen anytime soon. 

 

Okay, so I realized this morning that I am 34 years old. Yeah, I finally realized that, and now I think I am having midlife crisis 16 years early. I feel as if I haven't accomplished a thing that I wanted to at this point. I guess I just need to drink some more coffee, stop whining, and get busy studying and living life. Fo' real.

 

On a more positive subject, I have set up my Security + test for the 24th! I am so motivated about it. The day after I take the test, I am starting the A+ certification course. I am unstoppable!!! (unless something stops me) Back to that midlife crisis thing....   

Lately I have been thinking of how I am now into my fourth decade of life and since I am a Dad and need to be more of a serious person and focus on my three imminent family members and their happiness, I must not forget about the humorous events in life that inspire me. while I was bussing the children around the other day, Pooka gets this big grin on his face and says to me, "Daddy, Claire wants to go home and watch Star Trek." Claire quickly denies such nonsense and whines that she doesn't want to watch Star Trek. Pooka says it repeatedly for 5 minutes and Claire respectively yells at him, "No Nicholas! I don't want to watch Star Trek!" The potential for this to go on for another half hour was great but I stopped them both and told them that we were not watching Star Trek when we got home. When we did indeed arrive at our annual rental I put both of their little whiny butts in bed since apparently they just wanted to pick on each other and were tired. 

 

Then I went downstairs and watched Star Trek.

 

That's it for now since I have that test coming up and I need to study (tremendously). You have a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Take it easy today since it is indeed the Lord's day. You have to say that He has been good to all of us.  

 

Live long, and Prosper.
