Tired and Busy.

I've been busy. This is the 1st chance I've had to actually sit down at home today. I haven't taken the time to write a post in far too long, I know. I could make a big long excuse of a post but I won't. So here be the dirt.

Bad news
Saturday I found out my step dad was in the ICU in Salem. As of today he is still there. I went up Saturday and Tuesday to be with my Mom and see my step dad. Long story short, be sure your broken bones and what not heal and you give them enough time so you don't get infected with a flesh eating bacteria and lose part of your leg and the blood poisoning harming the kidneys and heart.

I don't know what the score is bit I'm hopefully. So is everyone one else. Things have looked pretty bleak at a couple points but my step dad is as stubborn as they come and has pulled through a lot already just this week.

Car news
I've got a new car on order. It was ordered April 4th. I'm working on selling mine private party. I showed it to a girl I presume will be graduating High School in June (do they do it in June still) and her Grandpa came along to scrutinize the hell out of my car and take it for a test drive. Gonna have to wait and see if they are legitimately interested and come back with an offer. They left with them needing to talk some about it and to the banks about loans and rates and junk. So that sounded positive but I'm not holding my breath.

Note to car buyes: Don't ask what the bottom line is, make an offer. Cause it will likely be higher than the actual bottom line...

Partays
Chris is having his birthday bash this weekend. Hopefully I won't lose my keys nor my voice this year. Hell I may not even take my keys.

There should also be a get together at my dads place for his birthday sometime this week.

Then in early May I've got another party to attend.

Photo Stuff
I took a few photos of friends feet while they got a Tango lesson. So far they have gone over pretty well. My remote flash trigger is an awesome addition to my kit. But it does just make me want more flashes and equipment.

I've even got a special request for some other non tango photos to be taken later. I may even eventually figure out how to make some money on the side from this little hobby.

Geek Stuff
Got a new server to replace my vmware server that went down on me a couple weeks back. So I've got a new (to me) box to get going, but haven't had a chance to do anything with it other than bring it inside from Chris' car. I'm kinda hoping to get a chance to do that tomorrow but I'm not counting on it, as tomorrows to do list is already fairly long and isn't getting any shorter.

Sleep
I haven't gotten enough since last week. I'm going to bed.
