Thursday was slightly more productive

Work progressed rather well. I got most of my qual plan for a new design done. A markup of a drawing to drafting and various other incidental things completed. When I got home mel was dead to the world asleep. I really wanted to put in a movie and work on doing something like take down the tree or something but he was asleep. And I wasn't sure if he would wake up grumpified if I woke him too early so I just let him sleep, looked over the sale ads, planned dinner and then tried to take a nap myself. Butterfly was being an utter brat and kept sitting on obsidian and being a pest. Mel finally woke up but he was groggy and still sleepy. I started in on dinner and he unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher. (Our resolution to each other was to keep the kitchen cleaner). Had dinner and then I sat and embroidered while we watched xmen and then an episode of firefly (all communications are still out at the house). We got ready for kung fu and had an awesome if rigorous class. Cody was running warmups and my knees are still hurting from the abuse but it was good. We all had fun. Then it was on to forms where of course I brain dumped a few transitions and got lost again. I got little mantis back in my head and now need to work on flow and on the 270 jump crescent kick.

Got home and richard was there working on the microwave shelf. Its seriously gonna look like it was made that way by the cabinet guys...its that nice. He had run the electrical for the microwave and it looks like we will be having a shelf sometime soon. We watched a bit more firefly while I embroidered and then it started raining. Nice gentle rain. I stumbled up to go to bed while richard was packing up tools. I took one of the hottest showers I have ever had since I had cooled down too much after class. I was chilled and was much better after I got under the covers and finish Lovecraft's "Under the Pyramids." Odd story and staring Harry Houdini which makes you think that maybe it might be true...not sure. I slept great minus getting pushed around by the cats on the bed. I still would like to be in bed cause I'm tired. Guess I should get going on the coffee and the work. Have a supplier issue that my SPE has blown completely out of proportion. The guy is an asshat and doesn't do anything right or on time. Makes my life a lot less easy. Anyhoo...off we go.

Well that was dumb...

So the cable guy was here..very awesome too. He tried to come by earlier and checked the alley box and it was fine. He got here about 415pm and after plugging in to our box he figured out that we were shut off. He queried the company and found out that at 345pm on wednesday they had shut off one of our neighbors and the box had both sets marked with their address. So they are going to be crediting us 3 days and I'm happy with that.
