WEDNESDAY---Its kelly’s turn to wake up early with the bot so I sleep till noon! (first time I’ve done that in a loooong time!) I get up and check email. The wife and I chat about our finances and realize that something must change. I decide to scrap Motor City Convention for several reasons. The wife agrees and she goes to get grocieries and an oil change we were overdue for since September last year. I go ahead and make layouts for Wise pages and place template pages so I can start word ballooning. I play with Scott till she gets back with grocieries and Quzinos subs. We also edit maybe 20-25 more pages on Pleasant Life. We eat and I play with bots some more till I have to head to work.
I get to work where things are in chaos, cause we’re getting new carpet put in. I agree to finish receiving orders and move more furniture since they are gonna finish it all tomorrow. Brian calls a couple times and we chat about me canceling Motor City, the podcast last night and more. The wife calls a couple times, once to say she’s ran two miles now. So proud of her. The night goes surprisingly fast considering all I have to get done. Of course, it starts snowing around 9pm and by the time I am out, 3 inches plus ice have fallen… effectively bringing winter back. Yay.
I get back home and check emails. I also join a new commission place in order to help generate more commission work. I dink around on the net catching up with news and things until almost 3am, and then after checking on Bots sleeping, I pass out.
THURSDAY—I wake up around 9:30 to bots moving around in his crib. I get up and make bottles and me a Diet Faygo Orange. Suddenly, I get the urge to get on the scales. I’m scared of it cause I feel that if I am let down, I may drop the diet. But after fighting with the scales and how to turn them on (the wife has one of them fancy memory ones.) I get on it anyway. To my surprise I’m down six pounds! Instantly, I have a smile on my face and happiness all around me. I’m doing it! I get bots up and feed him, which he takes very little. I lay him down to squeal and watch Tom & Jerry. I come over to check email and start word balloons on Wise Intelligence, while listening to music on itunes and pod. I get the first nine pages done and send them to Ryan for approval. I pack up and head to work once the wife comes home. I get to work and for some reason, my boss is in a shitty mood and takes one of my jokes wrong. She takes me in the back to yell at me, and I just stand dumbfounded and thus, pissed off for the rest of the day. I end up moving all the store furniture by myself (hurting my back in the process) and really tiring myself out. Everyone leaves by eight and I am stuck there alone, just me and the smell of new carpet. Brian calls and we chat a bit. I work and get out at midnight and listen to the podcast the whole way home. I get home and opt to just go to bed. I toss and turn a bit, still pissed off from earlier. I finally doze off around 2am.
WEDNESDAY—I wake up with an extremely sore back around 11am. Kelly is home for the day, so she got up with the bots. I stumble to my desk and pull out my back massager to get this one area of my back that hurts the most. I call work and talk to my boss about a couple things, during which she apologizes for yesterday. I accept the apology and we iron out the rest of it. I finish a couple more pages of balloons on WISE, while the wife eats. We then finish editing Pleasant Life. She gives me feedback on what she thinks of the story and after that, I PDF all the pages and burn the files to disc. I drop the files off my computer into the trash, finally completing the last Pleasant Life book for good. After updating blogs and checking email, I leave and head to the card store to see if they got comics I can read. I grab a WIZARD, my first Wizard magazine in 3 years. (its still Blah) I also stop by Quiznos on the way to work. I work my shift all night, dealing with my sore back and limping the whole time. I doodle a bit in secret on some prints I want to work on either tonight or next week. I get back home and check email, update blogs and listen to podcasts while working. I try to download the new BSG but its not on Itunes yet. Gotta wait till the morning. I pass out around 2-3am.
