Today has been a quiet one. I got up in a leisurely fashion, not really rolling out of bed until nearly lunch time. I spent the between waking up and eating doing various tasks. Duolingo – where it looks like I might just eke out a top 10 in the Diamond League Tournament. Please, no flowers, just money. I also listened to more of the Wheel of Time book. And I did some work on the database.

First I watched the rest of the basics video. Then I found a video that focused on forms. That helped a good bit. I still have questions, but I think I can muddle through from where I was left this morning. This is exactly what I was looking for. A straight up, single table database that doesn’t cost anything. Woo hoo! I still have a ways to go to make it what I want, but at least I can see that it can be done. That’s a great step, imho.

While the helpers were here, all of whom did great yesterday from what I can tell, the person working in the basement and I came across a pile of pictures. One of the pictures was in a broken frame (both frame and glass) and this is the picture it held. My mom was the same age as Shirley Temple. And people told her she was more talented. Mom and her brother were actually on radio a bit when they were really young. No wonder mom wasn’t too upset when I decided to major in theatre!

After lunch, I did a load of laundry – all folded and mostly put away. And I read more of and then finished the book I was reading: The Subtle Are of Not Giving a Fuck. It was not a great book. At least for me. Most of the content was stuff that I knew and was, hopefully, mostly putting into practice already. Still, it never hurts to have those thoughts reiterated. If you like self help books, this one is ok. Not greatly written, but with some good thoughts.

Soon, I will be heading to dinner with SM. We are also planning on going to The Cracker Factory after dinner so she can say hi to the owner who she thinks highly of.

That was fun. We had a decent time at the sandwich place. Not the best food, but good sized portions and tasty enough. Then off to Cracker Factory. I played a little pool. SM chatted and hung out with people. I think fun was had by all involved!

Augustus for President: One reason I am creating the database, is so that when I get the document back from K, I can put those thoughts into the database. That way I can more easily see if I have duplicate thoughts. And I can, hopefully, assign tasks to people who say they want to help. Speaking of which, I still haven’t heard back from either of the two people who left their info on the campaign website. I won’t bother them again until I am up to ten people or so.

Gave out at least 4 more stickers. Every sticker out means a teeny connection made. Who else gives out little stickers like this?
