so, um, yeah…
Published under Uncategorized.I guess I really suck at this whole updating thing, huh? I had great intention to update with lots of little things that the baby did and whatnot. I guess when I’m at home, I’d rather spend time soaking it all in than writing it all down. I’ll probably regret it in a few years when I can’t remember anything and didn’t write any of it down. Lately, though, it’d look like this: Brianna’s sick. Still sick. Not better, yet. More sick. Ear infection. Sick. I feel bad for her. Wish we could get her better. She’s been sick for 3-4 months now, with different things. That’s more than half her little life. Makes me want to yell at doctors who keep insisting that there’s nothing to do but wait. I don’t like waiting.
She’s not quite walking yet, but man, she’s trying. She’ll stand up, balance herself, reach out for something else, and then let go of whatever she’s holding on to. Of course, she instantly splats on the ground, but she doesn’t cry… she just wants to get up and try again. She’d probably keep trying til she got it if I kept helping her up. She has to be the cutest baby ever, in my humble, completely unbiased opinion.
She’s getting mobile, too. Not crawling, though. She just blinks a few feet in a random direction when you’re not looking.
Let’s see… what else is up….
Work is work. I’m the flight lead for STS-130/20A, so that’s a lot of fun. Not too much work, though, so I’m keeping myself busy teaching lessons and trying to get certified in different things. I find that work is more stressful and less fun than it used to be. It’s mostly due to politics and some stress from certain people I work with, but those things are unavoidable, so what can you do? It’s not unbearable… but I do leave work pissed off from time to time. I don’t think it’ll drive me away from here, though.
I definitely miss family, though. It’s inexpressible how much it sucks to be 12 hours from family. Someday, I’m sure I’ll decide that it’s not worth a cool job to be this far away from family. I kinda hope it’s not too late by then. I don’t want Brianna to think that grandparents are people you see once during the summer.
Also, I bought a car.
A GT500.
Finally.
My wallet might regret it, but for now, I don’t. Although, it’s a beast of a car, and honestly scares me a little. I’m sure I’ll get over it, but right now, the thing’s putting out over 600 HP at the wheels (thank you pulley and cold air intake mods). When you hit the gas, it screams. Literally. Oh wait.. that might have been me.
I don’t think I’ll be driving it to its fullest for a while. I don’t care what kind of traction control the thing has, it’s hard enough to keep it in control on dry roads in a straight line when you give it some gas. But hey, I’ve got a while to figure it out, right?
