February 11,12,13, 2009

I have been a little busier than normal to add a post here for the past couple of days.

Feb 11 and 12 were fairly busy work days for me as I am taking today (Friday Feb. 13 off) to have a nice 4 day weekend. I am off on Monday for Presidents Day.

Nothing outstanding to add for the past 2 days...just work stuff. Watched my Thursday shows last night, and as usual I missed the 1st half of Sober House on VH1...but I saw all of my NBC shows (Earl, Office, 30 Rock) and I still can't figure out why the hell "Kath and Kim" is even ON the air...I make myself busy during that show..it sucks!!

Today I was off work, so I slept in until 830 am when I awoke I took a bath and got ready to go to take my college placement test. My wife took me to take the test and dropped me off at about 10 am. I did as I expected to do. Which means I did very well on my english and reading exams, but as usual I am weak on Math. But, like I said, I expected that.

I also picked up a school catalog so I could see exactly what AS degree I want to go for...and I have decided I want to pursue Political Science.
Not only is this something I have studied with great interest in the past, but I also feel I can further my career with this sort of degree as I DO work for the government.

I took the tests in about an hour and a half, and my wife came and got me about 1130 am.

When I got home we discussed the collegiate process and how it's all different at 40 than it would be at say 20. Not really in a bad way, though as at this point in my life I know I can focus a lot better, and I know what I want, and I DO have a job.

I just got through eating a turkey sandwich, and after I get through with this post I will be cleaning the kitchen.

OH!! One other thing, yesterday I got my award from NGC for my efforts on my journal for The Collectors Society, I am proud to have won that award as well.

That about bags it for now...just a day or cleaning with some relaxing.

That was my day, how was yours?

Addendum: 515 pm Friday Feb 13

I just got off the phone with my oldest daughter who informed me that her and my other 2 children won't be coming over this weekend. Looks like they had other plans, and she had to work. So, it will be another 2 weeks before I see them.

I miss them so much in between visits. This is the blues of the "non-custodial parent".

It sucks.
