I think people might be turned off by seeing the name catfish in the blog and, because of the bad connotations, they stay away from it. I can understand that. I have always thought I should change it. I never have but it might happen soon. It's not like a lot of people know that address, so moving it to something else would have zero effect on the popularity of this blog. But I should really do it at some point. Maybe my other nickname no one ever actually used, Calculus. I was called that as a joke for a while when I played ice hockey. Too much of a story to go into, but I always like that one so maybe that would be good. Then again, something simple like DEJ would work, but I am sure that is a name that cannot be used. I'll keep thinking about it and thinking about it, have been doing that for 20 years and eventually, nothing will happen. But you know a little bit of the story of why the account is catfish.
We know of course that this blog was always about the kids and me writing something that will allow them to go back and read some memories. Not that they will remember any of this, but it is a good idea, even if I have fallen down in keeping it about them and making it interesting. I have tried and I always say I don't care if anyone or even if they never read it. It is helpful for me to write it and it gives me a lot of entertainment when I reread some of the old entries. As I keep saying, I used to be funny, or the kids used to do funny things. It was one or the other. I really hope this can be saved at some time in the future, so they do not lose it. I have looked into trying to print it, there are companies that do that, but to print the entire thing is well into thousands of dollars and that is an expense that cannot be justified. Besides, it would need to be done after I finish writing it. And, who reads printed books. It would all have to be online, and it is already online, so why print. Because I am old, I guess, and I think a big book of all my writings would be good. I suppose I am the only one who believes that.
That is the biggest, or maybe not the biggest, but one of the big issues I have. No parents to write to, no family that cares to read about it, and no friends that might enjoy it. It's just for me. Someday, someday.
William is acting all exhausted and unwell. He only worked two days but apparently it was too much for him and he is going to stay in bed all day. Not sure how that is any different than any other day, but he says he is too tired and sick to go out.
I have just been told some of the grandkids will be staying with me tonight. Not sure who. I think it is Shayla and her friend, but I never know about these things. I just have to cook for them when I get home. Yippee!
Someone just came into work. Someone I need to talk to but they are busy so it will have to wait until all the other problems they are supposed to be solving are done. So, I keep typing.
Maeghan is supposed to come to the shops for a haircut today. No idea what time but I am sure she will be gone before I get there. I am anting to leave early today, but I think I might have already said that. No bosses today and it seems a couple of other people are not coming in. So as long as someone is here until 4, I should be able to leave at 2. I normally leave at 2:30, I start at 6:30, but I thought taking off 30 minutes early would be to my advantage. Probably not, but we will see.
Maeghan has made plans to go to a ComiCon, or something like that. I don't know when it is. It is on the gold coast, naturally, which is an hour and a half drive and much longer on the train. She and her roommate are staying in a room up there for two nights. Maeghan will go to the ComiCon on both days, but the roommate will only go one of the days. Maeghan is going to a session that one of the Doctor Who actors will be at. I think it is the girl Doctor Who. It costs a lot of money, and I told her it was not worth it, but she wants to go anyway, and she has the money. I think it is coming up soon, but I don't know when.
Maeghan is also planning on visiting her friend in Melbourne but that has been planned for a while and they still have not decided on a date or how it will actually work. I don't think she will be able to stay with her friend and her friend works, so I am not sure what the actual plans are for what they are going to do. It sounds like it will be a while. It was planned for this month, but that does not appear to be happening. Maybe someday.
I suppose I have to actually do some work now. This is two entries in a short amount of time. I should leave this one open and add to it, but it is already of an appropriate length, so I will go ahead and publish as is. Not much change of it, but the possibility exists for me to do three entries in one day. Depends on how busy I am and if I have the whole room to myself for most of the day. I have no idea what I am going to say, but I never do. I just start writing and let it go where it goes. I'd say it works for me, but it doesn't really. I don't do the re-writes I used to do and do not do all the checking and corrections I did in the beginning. It is what I write and not supposed to be more than that. But it keeps me busy, that's a good thing.
Until next time,
Later
