Sheep Guarding Llama

I accidentally slept in late this morning. Min got me up in time to sort of get ready before Danielle arrived. Actually, Danielle had to wait in her car for a little while because it didn’t look like anyone was awake in the house. I finally got ready (having to treat and dress my foot every morning doesn’t make getting ready any easier.) We were planning on doing sales in Naples today but we started in Hemlock and in Honeoye. By the time we were nearing finishing in Honeoye the weather took a turn for the worse. The snow really started blowing and we decided that being out doing sales was a bad idea so we turned around and headed back to Geneseo and pick up Dominica to go to lunch at the Omega Grill. I just had a tunafish sandwich since I am on a very strict diet now that we have gotten the results of my blood test from New Year’s Eve. Lunch was good and it was nice to have a break today.

After we got back, Dominica wanted to play some AoE2 so she and Andy teamed up against me. I won the first game but lost the second once they got they show a little more organized. After the games, the three of us headed over to dad’s to get some pizza. We hung out there this evening and played some foosball. Dad got a new table a week or two ago and this is the first that Min and Andy have seen the table.

Min had to go to work this evening. So Andy and I watched some Are You Being Served? He has been itching to see the later episodes on DVD.

Danielle and I went out doing sales this morning in Nunda, Dansville, Wayland, Cohocton and Avoca. We had a pretty productive day. We got back to the house just in time for me to take Min to her doctor’s appointment in Batavia. She is finally doing something about her back. After her appointment, we went straight over to the hospital so that she could get some x-rays taken. We got that done and headed home. We got the results of my bloodtest from New Year’s Eve. I have high cholesterol and LDL (LDL and HDL are not actually cholesterol but cholesterol carriers – we did a lot of research because no one is ever able to tell us what the numbers actually mean.) It sucks that my numbers are bad even after having been a vegetarian for two and a half years. So Min is making me go on a diet now.

Since I didn’t manage to get to bed until 7:30 this morning, I spent quite a bit of the day sleeping. Min got up and played The Sims for a while. She gets really excited when she finally gets a chance to play. When I finally got up, I headed back down to the basement to begin work on the new email server. After yesterday’s fiasco, I decided that I really need to get moving on that because the old system just isn’t going to cut it in the long run. We need the new system up soon but it is an unbelievable amount of work to get to running. By the time I got up, Miranda had already headed back to Canada.

This evening, Min and I watched Three To Tango with Matthew Perry. I haven’t seen that movie since it was first released in ’99. It is a really cute movie and Perry does a really good job in it. It is one of my two favorite Perry movies, Fools Rush In being the other one. After that, we decided to stay up a little later than we normally would because I had been up so late last night that I wasn’t going to fall asleep very easily. So we watched Y Tu Mama Tambien which Phil and Kate had recommended.

Not much happened today. I worked around the house this morning while Min slept. Min, Andy, Miranda and I went up to Jay’s for dinner this evening. We all decided to get the garbage plates there but the mac salad there was awful and I couldn’t even manage eating much of it. So since we didn’t much edible for dinner, we decided that we should go to Phillip’s European for some dessert. They have the best desserts around. That was really fun.

Friday finally. The end of the week. The first real business week of the year is finally over. I spent most of the day working on getting our new firewall up and running. Our email is now coming form behind the new machine. So if anyone noticed a little blip in the service today, that is why.

Min and I went to the Omega Grill for our regular Friday night Fish Fry. Then we decided to stay in and just watch some DVDs. Miranda got Andy BBC’s The Office and Min has been dying to watch it so we watching about five episodes before she had to head off to work. Normally the game is on tonight but it was a bad week for everybody so we decided against it. Next week, Min is hoping that we play on Thursday night instead of Friday. After Min left, I watched the classic Batteries Not Included while Andy and Miranda played the new Simpsons computer game.

After that, I went back to work. We now have our email being hosted from behind a new firewall. I finally got that all set late tonight. And now it works great. I also moved tons of wedding pics up to the server tonight. I don’t have any references to them yet but that is the next step. I uploaded about 200 pics or so at really high quality so they take forever to download. I will try to get thumbnail pages put together sooner than later but we will see. We all know how lazy I am. I also moved the rest of December to the archives and have finished up the 2003 archives. Another year finished up and packed away.
