It’s starting to pour.   Our street is glowing a dull amber color from the street lights and the rain.   Every few seconds the sky lights up and I fear the power will go out with each strike.   It’s happened before, not while I’ve been posting, mostly while we are already asleep.

Ok, the beef of this post was to talk about how busy I’ve made myself.   I’m at home with Izzy until we figure out a different solution to her care.   While I am at home, I’m busy cleaning and cooking, yes, I’ve become the home maker.   I like a clean home, and I actually enjoy cooking, so I have no problem being a home maker.

If I am not playing with Izzy, and not home making.   I am on the internet writing post after post.   I’ve signed up for Dadosphere, an online community of blogging fathers.   I wrote my first post, even after some issues with their posting backend.   I don’t think it was “user error,” but I admit it could be.   Anyway, I plan to post there as well as For Better, For Worse, and here – about parenthood.   I think my posts on Dadosphere will correspond closer to my posts here.   For Better, For Worse is still in its infancy and I’m not sure which direction it will go, but it should be fun writing about relationships and parenting there.

I also started a different blog called, Mr. Nice Guy.   I write about specific situations that we all face in our day to day lives where we sometimes become less than hospitable to our fellow human.   I write on how to be nicer in situations where we normally become angry and frustrated.   I’m having fun with it, so I know I won’t get bored with it.

I’ve also been working on starting a home business: Five Media Digital Services.   I really enjoy designing websites, and actually many other things too.   I am starting to lean more to Industrial Design, but web design is still a lot of fun.   I finished Saint Augustine’s Website a month ago and from what I hear, people really like it.   I learned a lot and I hope to use what I learned to bring in some supplemental income.   The problem is two fold; I don’t have any formal training in design and there are TONS of web designers out there.   I’ve always sold myself short to the point of completely discouraging myself from completing this type of task.   I may not be great, but I think I am pretty good.   This time, I am going for it.   If I fail, at least I went through with something for once.

I’ve partnered Five Media with a side project I am doing, Cwazy Media.   It’s mainly going to host all my sites and blogs.   If anybody wants in, I can host websites under that name which will in turn help Five Media.   Its still a rough idea, but it seems to smooth out on a daily basis.

I’ve also been working on some home projects like my office, the home server (for testing and music streaming), wood working, and more.   I want add my project list to the Concepts page, but I’ve been coding my other sites so The Guamaso has been ignored lately.

Today I actually put together some tiny shelves I made for Izzy’s room.   I’ll write a small post with pictures later.   I was going to build a cabinet for my fish tank, but I’m finding it hard cutting plywood in a straight line.   Again, more on that later.

So, that’s about it.   Oh, I’ve busted out my 35mm camera again.   I have 6 rolls that need to be developed.   I have a ton of credits with Snap Fish, I just keep forgetting to send them out.   I don’t think everyone is familiar with my lovely Canon AE-1 Program.   I’ll post about that too.   I bought it while we were in Germany.   Sweet camera, but it gets expensive developing film, I really want to buy a Canon Rebel.   Oy, ok, so more on that when I post next.

Sounds like the storm is over.   I can still see lighting, but it sounds very distant.   I think I just needed to type a little bit, because I am sleepy now.   It’s half past.   Well then, I am off to bed, I promised Ciri that I would wake up early to help her out with a project she has for work tomorrow.   She would have worked on it tonight, but she got home at about seven thirty.   Just enough time to eat, feed Izzy, and go to bed.   Hopefully, her commanders will stop being pricks and realize what they are doing to her by keeping her in.   Anyway, I guess I have to update on that too.   Tomorrow.   Sleepy sleepy.   Peace.
