Success Warrior: The Blog That Embraces ADHD

Facebook Blues

 
So,

I went through the trouble of creating different friend lists, subdividing all my actual friends down to some niche or other.  I have a friend list for family, a list for people that I work with, and a list for wickid smaht people from New England, amongst others. 

I had too many people before and a status would come and go without me knowing it because there were just too many happening at one time.  This gave me a chance to scan through groups of people and actually try to make some kind of connection.  I could check Facebook in the morning and again before bed and feel like I was up on the current news, at least of what people were putting out to the world.

Last week, my connection bliss ended violently when Facebook suddenly decided to hide my friends lists from me.  Oh, I checked, and they still exist.  I just can't check the status for any group of friends now.  If I want to see the status for those friends, I have to click through to each person's page.  Dude!  I have the patience of a 4 year old.  That just ain't gonna happen.

So, for those of you where I'm a regular commenter or at least a regular "liker" and now you're wondering why I don't care anymore, now you know.  Facebook is making it too hard for me to care.  Sorry.

I have sent a request to them to fix it but since they have half the planet as users, I'm not sure how quickly I can expect any results.

"Now serving number 3,837,492,203."

"Uhhh, what does it mean when it says that I'm number 4.35TB on the list?"

"It means that you're screwed."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

So, for now, I'm not much of a Facebooker.

FaceBook is messing with my friends lists.

Remember The True Meaning

 
The Sun has started its journey back to the northern hemisphere.  Without the sun, we would all die.  With the sun's resurrection, mankind is saved.  (It's the same for the southern hemisphere although they should technically celebrate Christmas in 6 months.  Unfortunately for our friends to the south, the guys that created the myth of Jesus being born on Christmas lived in the northern hemisphere and had to find a way to let the Romans keep their sun celebration while converting them to Christianity - sorry).

Long time readers are well aware of my love of the sun and the true meaning of this day never escapes me.  Ever. 

Merry Christmas!

10 years ago today, I made official the best decision of my life.

At high noon, I married Tia.

Best.  Decision.  Ever.

Christmas Drawing Close

 
We had our family party tonight and Trey's grandparents gave him a Wii Fit.  It's set up and he's doing the ski long jump as I type this.

As for me, I'm going to do a bit of wrapping. 

There's still time left, right?

And I'm Spent

Crumbs!

 
No time for blogging today.  Trey and I are going to be baking a few thousand cookies this afternoon.

Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus

 
But,

He doesn't ride around in a sleigh.  It's a big brown truck.

What a weekend.

By the time, last night arrived, I was pretty wiped out.  I was asleep at 10, which is normal for me.

Oh, something funny happened though when I was trying to set the alarm.  All the lights were off and I hit the wrong button (did I mention that I was tired?) and it turned on the radio in that sleep function where the radio plays for a while and then turns off automatically.  I never use this function so I had no clue how to turn it off and there was no way that I was going to listen to the radio for 59 minutes.

"Um, I hit the wrong button," I said to Tia.  "How do I turn this thing off?"

"Just hit the 'snooze' button," she said as simply as the supposed task should be.

"Okay, where's the snooze button?" I asked.

She started laughing.  "You know that for most normal people, that's the most used button on the alarm clock, right?  The big one in the front."

I found it.  Easily in fact, because it is quite a large button.

Okay, so I'm not most people and no one has ever accused me of living anywhere near the neighborhood of Normal.

With that minor error remedied, I was in bed and asleep quickly.

An hour later, I received a call from work, got up and went to work.  It took me about an hour to take care of what needed my attention and I came back home.

My alarm is set for 4:30 am and I considered changing because that's just not enough sleep that but decided to just keep that part of my schedule normal and then take a nap after exercising.

I was asleep around 1:00 and woke up at 4:00.  I don't need no stinking "snooze" button (unless it would actually make me snooze).  I almost don't even need an alarm clock.  It's just there for that rare occasion when I don't wake up before the alarm.

Worked legs today until I was dizzy. 

Tomorrow is the fave of the month, punching invisible people.  I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight so I'm fresh for that one.

Our UPS guy is the closest thing to Santa Claus there is.  He stops by our house just about every day.

That reminds me, we made a huge mistake this year that is going to make things interesting.  I'll explain more tomorrow.
