Tuesday, 1-5-2004: Me and Tami went to Applebees for lunch. Went to Lowes and got some electrical stuff. Wired a switch in the basement workshop to turn the lights on. Also got my treadmill to the basement. Monday, 1-14-2005: Worked for a couple hours from the motel, then started driving again. Got home at 2pm and worked the rest of the day. Wednesday, 1-16-2005: Went to lunch with Tami and Applebees, then to Slackers. After work I went to her house and we saw Are We There Yet? with her kids at the theater. Saturday, 1-19-2005: Went to the post office, then to Rosewood Heights to take a picture of a new church. Then to Tami’s to help her put togehter an entertainment center. Stayed there all day, until about 4 or 5pm I think. She took me and her kids to lunch. Sunday, 1-20-2005: Woke up around 9:15. Went to McDonald’s for breakfast and then to Kristine’s. Today I’m going to help her and Greg move all their stuff from Alton to Troy. Spent all day going that. Finished loading everything up by about 3pm and drove to Troy. Then unloaded it all into their new house. Greg brought me home around 10pm. By bed time, my muscles were really aching from all the moving. Monday, 1-21-2005: I can barely move. Ouch.

I think I got maybe a total of 2 hours of sleep. And Saturday night I got maybe 4 hours. So I was pretty tired all day. My 10:30 flight arrived 30 or 40 minutes late. It took me to Wisconsin, where I had to get on another flight (one of those tiny planes). By the time I got there, I only had about 5 minutes to find my flight. Luckily, it was late too. By about 20 or 30 minutes. Got home, sat on the couch and watched TV/slept for a couple of hours. I didn’t have the energy to make it upstairs until later in the evening. I think I ended up going to bed at around 8 or 9pm. Slept good.

Got up at 5:15am, got the kids up and we left for the airport. We got there to find that our flight had been canceled because of weather. Luckily, we got on a flight leaving just 30 minutes later than planned. But for whatever reason, they ended up putting us in first class which was nice. We had a layover in Denver and our 2nd plane was also in first class. Emily cried when we got to Oregon because she didn’t want to go. I got on a flight and was in Minneapolis by about 7:30pm. Once again my flight got canceled but this time I was stuck in the airport until 10:30 the next morning. So I spent the night in the airport. I slept a little, watched some TV, played on the internet and IMed friends with my phone. Anyway, I was hungry and all the food places are closing so I looked at some vending machines and decided on Animal Crackers. But all I’ve got is a $10 bill and they don’t take those! So I move to the stamp machine and I OMG HAX it. I buy a 37 cent stamp and get back 9 gold dollar coins and 63 cents. Then I use one of the dollar coins to buy Animal Crackers, hoping the machine will take dollar coins. It does. And I expect to get my animal crackers and 25 cents back. Instead I get my animal crackers and 4 quarters back! OMG! So I do the same thing and it happens again - a bag of animal crackers and 4 quarters. I do it again, same thing. I do it again, only with Fritos but I only get a quarter back for that. So I’ve got an unlimited supply of animal crackers tonight! I bought 3 more bags just because I could. I can take all these quarters, load them into the stamp machine and I’ll probably get a bunch of gold dollars back as change. I went to an identical food machine and the animal crackers were in the same slot in the machine (C-0) so I tried it on that one but it didn’t work. The only problem with this whole thing is that I don’t really LIKE animal crackers that much. I ate 2 bags and I’m full. I could buy out the entire supply of them from that machine but what the hell can I do with them? All I can think of is to sell them but that hardly seems worth the effort. What do I do?? I would post a picture of all these animal cracker bags comically spilling out of my backpack, but that’s too much effort for me.
