Yes, this is the first four-day weekend of the year and my focus this year at home will be number one, Carrie. then the rest of the focus will be back on Blender and additionally, Unity 3D. Working together and I may throw a bit of Unreal in there as well.
The first thing I want to do I decide on a project. Marvin at work I think has given me that first project. I will be converting my spacecraft corridor for using with Blender 3.0 and Evee. That will be the first part of converting that background image into an animated screen saver.
That was the first step. The second step will be investigating how to convert the model. Most items will convert simply fine except for the materials and textures.
Additionally I think I will be hitting Code with Mosh hard this year as well. I’m paying for an annual membership for his courses and I think he is an outstanding teacher so I shall take advantage of that.
Nice surprise last week when I was making sure that we worked on Friday the 31st of December. I was surprised when Justin told me we are not working on Friday as well as Monday.
Funny thing is when I stayed away from work on Monday the 27th of December I actually thought I was supposed to be at work.
Two four day weekends in a row how awesome is that?
This last weekend was fantastic. I finished fixing the last little things I don’t like about this apartment (they are small). I also received my first box from Bespoke Post and everything is pretty cool. I know that sounded a little juvenile but it’s the truth.
Second item, Carrie decided she wants to come out without Debbie. This is great but I’m not sure she can do it. Let me put that another way. I know she could not do it with the flights set up they way they were. We’ll take a better look at the flight times etc. and work it out. The best part is Daryl will have a car we can use during that time without having to rent one. I’ll pay him a small fee and we can avoid the huge rental car payment and he will get some of his 500.00 he paid back. Win win for everyone.
Then there is this, Carrie is going out to lunch with another guy today. I hope she doesn’t think I’m upset, since he is someone I know and don’t care for, which is not exactly true. He doesn’t care for me for reasons I’m not completely sure about. I’m not upset about it I like the fact she is getting out a little bit more. Now, if he tries to take this farther than it should I might say something. I quite sure I would not have to say anything because this has already happened with someone she used to work with and just recently went to lunch with. He took things completely the wrong way and kept pushing her to have a relationship and she had to put her foot down and tell him to stop; which I think he has.
She is a little worried this guy might do the same thing because she believes he liked her when they were working together before. I’ll see what happened during lunch when I call her tonight. She wanted me to call here last night but I did not realize it until I woke up this morning.
This is not something I was not expecting. Her panic attacks have been getting more frequent and at times worse. I was worried she would have a panic attack on the plane which would not be a good place for one. I was also not a fan of her traveling at night because of the propensity of people to drink at the airport at later times and that could turn into annoying flyers that could panic her even worse in a small aluminum tube 35000 feet in the air.
We decided she would 1) fly out with me when I come out in January or 2) fly out with her sister and then back with her or, 3) a combination of both.
Not sure what will happen with the tickets I already purchased but it doesn’t matter. The tickets are paid for and the money is gone so not anything I’m concerned about.
I have been so frustrated with Angie over the last few months. She needed to leave her brother’s house but didn’t have the income to do it. She did it anyway relying on me to pay the rent even though I told her I would not. I told her the first time she asks we will be done. Well, she asked and asked and asked and I told her the consequences and she just did not give a dang.
I have told her to keep track of her spending, smokes, gas food etc. and she refuses. The last straw was her check for 44.00 bounced because she had payments out there, she forgot about. Additionally, the 44.00 that bounced was money that I gave her for the freaking rent. She also has not paid for the last storage unit she had meaning another 300.00 plus the bounced check. 345.00. I told her I’ll give it to her, but we will not be talking anymore. Talking to her makes her keep asking for money and I keep giving it to her but no more. Told her to lose my phone number and turn off the sat dish.
I will miss our talks when she was not bitching and playing the games online but enough is enough.
Washer and dryer were delivered last week. They are beautiful and work so nice. I did many loads of laundry on Monday, washing every piece of clothing I have. I also washed my comforter I bought in Tulsa and never have washer. I turned out great! Today I’m washing pillows which, again I have never washed.
Yes, my washer and dryer will arrive today. This weekend I received my dishes and corning ware what broke during the trip from Tulsa. I also received a set of Pyrex measuring cups
Other items arriving this week are a universal swivel TV stand, HDMI converter for my surface pro, Alexa lights, wooden hangers shower curtain rings and a Pgytech tripod.
