It's been a quiet week in my hometown....
Stacey and I have been talking about the house. Mostly we are trying to decide how much time and money to spend on prettying it up. We will be here for at least two more years, probably four more and possibly until she dies. All in all, we are talking about spending as much as $200,000. But, more realistically, it is likely to be $75-100K instead. Those numbers make my head hurt. I dislike the idea of spending that much money especially if a lot of it is on credit.
In other Stacey news, the surgery went well, but the recovery is going slowly. She is bruised up and sore. She isn't allowed to take anything for it except Tylenol. The stitches look horrible.
The work I'm doing for biotechnologyjobs.com is coming along. I'm probably going to end up billing about 30 hours even though I'm going to have put in 2 or three times that many. I'm not charging them for having to learn php -- although I should! I might have been faster to rewrite the whole thing in tcl. :) The database design looks typical of folks who code in php. It could have been done with two text files! It probably wouldn't have been any slower.
My new computer has developed a problem. It is the same problem I experienced with my old laptop. I'm getting unexpected cursor movements. Although I can't prove it, I think I'm touching the touch pad while typing. That means I introduce typo-bugs into the code I'm writing. Very frustrating. I noticed this morning that I'm not positioning my hands in a good way. I'm too far in front of the keyboard which means my fingers aren't bent very much. And that means my hands are lower and my thumbs are hovering over the touch pad. I'm going to work on hand positioning all day to see if the unexpected cursor movements stop.
Sex continues to be wonderful and exciting even in Stacey's somewhat diminished capacity. It hurts the stitched lip when she makes her O face. :)
