November 19, 2017: Houston for the Holiday

Sunday.  Today we got up, packed the car, and drove down to Houston.  So that took pretty much the whole day.  It took us till around noon to get on the road this morning, putting us in Houston just a little after five this evening.

We are down for the Thanksgiving holiday, which is quite early this year on the twenty third, and then staying here through Liesl’s birthday.

We are prepared for this trip, we brought our Steam laptop with us.  I am scheduled to have to travel to Doha, Qatar for work any day so we are prepared in case Dominica and the girls end up staying down here in Houston and I fly from here instead of Dallas.  I was supposed to travel last week from Dallas, but nothing ever happened.  So I’ve just been waiting on word that it is time to go for a few weeks.  But we couldn’t avoid doing stuff for the holidays and for Liesl’s birthday, so we just switched our pending airport to Houston instead of Dallas and are waiting to see what happens.

 

November 18, 2017: Liesl Restarts Skyrim

Saturday.  I got up early and the house was quiet.  I had the living room to myself so I made a pot of coffee and settled in to play some Skyrim on my own.  I got to play for a while.

This afternoon, the girls decided that they wanted to play video games, so I gave up the Steam laptop and hung out in the living room with Liesl and Luciana.

Liesl decided today that she wants to restart Skyrim with a new character so that she can make different choices in the game.  It is such a huge game to be starting over, I’ve stuck to just one character to play through it.

This evening I watched a few episodes of La Hipocondriaca.

November 16, 2017: Just Work

DuoLingo Streak: 75 Days

Thursday.  Nothing of interest today. Checked all of my logs and nothing.  Nothing at all.  I know that I was working, I have a lot of technical posts from today, but other than that, nothing recorded.

This is why I hate getting so far behind on SGL updates.  When I record things as they happen, there is so much going on.  But when I try to go back and do it later, it seems like nothing happened at all.  Life really isn’t that boring, it just didn’t get recorded.

November 15, 2017: Art Class

Wednesday. Very busy day online.  Loads of writing and posting, mostly on MangoLassi.  So much so that I had very little time for much else this morning.

ML updated to NodeBB 1.7.0 today.  That took a bit of my day just testing and preparing for that.

This afternoon I did art class with Liesl and Luciana.  They liked having me as their art teacher today.  It was a lot of fun.

I passed the one hundred thousand posts on MangoLassi mark today.
