My brain hurts. So many ones and zeros. So many acronyms. TCP/IP, SONET, DSL, subnet masks, and 802.11a/b/g/n, just to name a few. The wonderful big world of NET+. It is difficult, about as hard as I expected, but I know I will succeed. It'll just take time. It took me months to get into the groove of being a warehouse manager, so I suspect the same will be true as an IT professional. I did get some good news from school. I made the deans list last month. Yay me!! Lets see how long I can keep this up. 

Ever since I found out wifey was pregnant I've been bustin my ass getting the house fixed up. We're now at about the half way point. All walls, except for the bedrooms are painted. Kitchen and dining room done, except for the flooring. It's been keeping me busy, but it's all worth it. Wifey keeps joking that she should've gotten pregnant sooner, because all this work would've been done sooner. So I just give her my evil look and she says, "Lovvvvvve youuuuuu!"

Another benefit of her being pregnant is that she has had no choice but to eat healthy, which by default, means I eat healthier. Sorry, but I'm not going to have Ben and Jerry's ice cream when she can't eat it. That's just cruel. So we've been controlling portion size, cutting a lot of carbs, eating mostly proteins. Although I do sneak in the occasional piece of chocolate. And since I've been laid off, I've worked part time at dominos again. I have barely touched the pizza there. MAYBE 2 slices in two months while working. That's an achievement for me. I maxed out this winter at 228. Damn. I'm back down to 221. I need to keep this going. Not for me. Not for wifey. But for the child growing inside her. My dad had his first heart attack at 36. I'm 34. I don't want that life. 

Enjoy your day, 7 peeps!! I may have to work tonite, but no school on Fridays, so Carpe Diem!! And I don't want to lose any readers this weekend either, so have a safe Memorial Day!!
