Posted January 24, 2007

Where has this month gone? Today I stayed a little later at work. By the time I got home, I gave Brian a call and we decided that we would still go to the gym which meant I would be getting home pretty late again. After the gym Sarah and Kate were meeting for their book study, so I made myself some dinner and watched the last 15 minutes of Nacho Libre.

I then went back to work on the arcade game. I did a little reading and figured out why my one and two player buttons were not working or acting funny, so after a little bit of luck, and some resoldering I didn’t need to do, I had a control panel that had a working joystick and two buttons.

By the time I was done with that, Kate had left, so I decided to get up in the attic and get my hole drilled for the lightswitch and light fixture to run in Sarah’s closet. This took me much longer than it should have by the time I made three trips up there, one to figure out what I needed to do since it was the first time I had been up there, and the second time I forgot my wire clippers, which pissed me off to no end. But, I made the right judgement, and I got the wire into the right bay and out through the hole I made. I also put back together the bathroom finally because I figured out our bathroom gfi’s are daisy chained to the one in the garage. Tomorrow it would be nice to finish the closet and cut the hole for the plug in the garage.

Sarah is feeling pretty crappy still. She has been fighting off a sore through and just a general tired feeling all week.
