Yesterday was eventful. I woke up and got busy immediately. I did some stuff around the house first. Then I went outside to get rid of the limbs that obstructed the driveway. I could have taken the easy route by just firing up the chainsaw but I decided to use my ax to releive some aggression. The limb was approximately 10 feet in the air and swing a full length 8lb ax was a challenge. It was a good stress reliever. I hacked and chopped until I could not lift the thing anymore. While I was getting beat up, the limb was still in good shape. I did this for about 20 minutes and then gave up and grabbed the hacksaw with a wood blade. I sawed through the limb in about 3 minutes! It still felt good to whack the hell out of that thing. I still had some tension so I grabbed the rake and straightened the driveway. There is a hump in the middle and my Tammy’s car doesn’t like it. I scraped and scraped until it flattened out. Ahhh. All better.

I got to the tanning place at about 15:35. The lady said that they close at 16:00 and I only had 8 minutes to tan. Ok, fire the damn thing up and quit jabbering! Why would the close so early on Saturday? Dorks. I then went to the gym. I did chest/triceps/shoulders/abs. Afterwards, I ate at Poke-e-Joes across the way from the gym. Yum! Meat group!

I got home about 18:00 and Paul called. He was wondering if I wanted to grab a couple of beers. I told him that I had too much to do and that I was gonna be working at the house. I said that he can come over and drink a few with me while I was cleaning. So, that is what we did. I cleaned and drank while he drank. I finished and we started to watch the beginning of Blade. I fell asleep (suprise!). The jerky adjusted the settings on my sub-woofer. Dork! Ya don’t just touch another fella’s electronics. I like it to RUMBLE! He is just jealous!

I talked to my Tammy today!!! I get to see her today!!! I thought that I would already be holding her in my arms by now but I didn’t take in to account that she has to go through customs and other misc. crap. I am now at her house and waiting patiently. I really don’t know what to do now. Guess I will let ibbi go outside for a minute and run around. I am super excited that she is on her way home! Hurry! Hurry! I can’t wait.

mT=missing her immensly but know she is on the way - this is the only way I can describe it…

They don’t have to tell me twice that we can leave. The “party” is complete. We had food and we got t-shirts (plain jane) and a gift card worth $150! I won’t let the door hit my behind on my way out! I’m gonna head to the mall (yes, I said mall - since I never go there) and get clothes and something for my Tammy for when she returns! Oh, I can’t wait! I want to hug her, hold her and squeeze her! Time to get busy so I can be ready.

Please take care my Tammy! Kiss.

mT=feeling mushy…

Well, it is an hour from the Christmas Party here. The food is catered through Papasitos , I think. They are currently bringing the stuff inside and setting up all of the tables. The doors in front of me are open and they are letting all of the cold air inside. I’m getting cold and I can’t feel my feet. The smell is really getting to me. I can’t wait to get this over with so we can leave.

mT’s are kickin’!

So my Tammy might wonder “How’s the weather?” Lemme tell ya, it stinks. It has been pretty chilly during her absense. Today it is getting worse and I believe that it will continue to get worse through the weekend. Maybe I’ll get some more logs for the fireplace for when she returns…

Traffic was bad heading to my Tammy’s house last night. I didn’t get there ’till after 19:00. I got there and immediately took ibbi outside to do her business. We came back inside and I checked all of the other animals. I did some things around the livingroom for a bit (folded the blankets, hung the jackets in the coat closet and straightened things out). I then sat down and watched the television for a while. I was able to watch CSI. It was an interesting episode until my eyelids seemed to block my view near the end. I slept sitting up for about 20 minutes. Ahhh, all refreshed. I also finished the show right after CSI. I ended up leaving about 22:00 and headed for my house. I still had energy when I got there so I did some things around my house too. I washed clothes, hung some pictures, shaved and picked some things up around the house. I was still full of energy so I went ahead and went to the gym. I worked on my legs, abs and ran for 25 minutes. Tough to run after working on legs. I only glanced at the clock once. It was in the mirror of the gym and it was digital. The time looked like it was 15:5 while in fact it was 2:21 since it was backwards. Ha ha. I got home and went to bed about 03:50. Come to think of it - I have only been to bed before 02:00 one time since she has been gone. Doh!

I thought of my Tammy throughout the entire night. I realized that I changed the picture on my phone twice (both of my Tammy) during the day. I kept looking at her wonderful pictures. There were times that I wish I had saved a voicemail so I could hear her voice. Sad, I know, but it would have been nice to hear. Time is getting closer and I should have enough scheduled to keep me occupied until she arrives. I cannot wait. mT is at critical mass…

I believe she should be heading back this way this evening. I base this on other itineraries I have looked at in the past. I be she will be sad the vacation will be over. I am sure that it is great to hang out with her best friend. It’s a bummer that they have to live so far apart now. This is good for them. This still does not prevent me from being selfish and wishing the damn ship would go faster!

I can’t even use the phone and not think of my Tammy. I got a call from my brother about a computer question (suprise!) and who’s picture do I look at when I hang up. Awwww. She’s so beautiful. I can’t wait to hold her again!

I’m gonna head out in a minute to go and grab ibbi and head back to my house. I will be thinking of my Tammy the whole night! Sweet dreams Tammy - wherever you are…

mT = Nutso!

I almost forgot. As ibbi and I were passing through the garage last night, I glanced at my motorcycles. I thought to myself, “Hrumph! I haven’t even thought about riding in quite some time. What power does this girl posses?” I have had a motorcycle between my legs since I was six years old. I did not even think of motorcycles at that time but my brother wanted one and I got one too. I have been an addict ever since. I can’t ride my street bike because I lost my plate. The dealership was kind enough to give me a temp tag that expired 9-23-05. What the heck? Normally I would not let that sit for two days much less this long. Wow! I am involved with a woman that can take my mind off of ANYTHING! That’s a fact!

I would let my bike sit for a year if she came back now . Ooooooh I have a bad case of the mT’s.

I have so much to do so I decided to take a quick PL alone (This is our term for a Productive Lunch). I put gas in the car and ran it through the car wash. I had to knock the majority of the dirty junk off before I wash it again and more thouroghly. I noticed Andrea looking at my filth. Can’t make a bad impression on my Tammy’s friend. Besides, it really needed it! So, I’ll finish cleaning out the inside this evening and go over the outside again later tonight. I have to go to my Tammy’s house and pick up ibbi. I left her there since I had a meeting this morning. She will be happy to help me with the car cleaning . Since I will get home somewhat later than usual and will probably be tired, I am reserving tomorrow for cleaning and stuff also. Oh! I might get off early tomorrow. I didn’t think of that. We will probably let out early after the party. That gives me more time to do stuff. Oof, more time. Saturday morning I think I will hack down the tree limb that bothers my Tammy that is in my driveway. I told her I would take care of it while she was gone. I just paused for about two minutes. I was reflecting on something my Tammy told me before she left. She reminded me to cut down the limb. I said “Great, now when I do it I will be thinking of you saying that and imagine your face”. Well, I just have to mention the stinkin’ tree limb and POW! she is there. Imagine that… After I whack that thing down I will head down to my Tammy’s and make sure everything is clean at her house also. I’m gonna spend some time picking up some of ibbi’s “droppings” as they are becoming apparent in her yard. I can then spend the rest of the evening completing my reviews of my employees.

I wonder what my Tammy is up to now. Oddly enough, my mT level is subsiding. Don’t misunderstand, it is still through the friggin’ roof but I am getting the feeling of “Yes! She’s almost back!”. Granted these next few days will seem like an eternity but there is now a light at the end of the tunnel (it’s DIM). Tammy, where are you?

That is all I have to say!

I’ll start with last night and work my way to now. Last night I picked up my little ibbi and head out to my Tammy’s house. While driving up her street, I noticed that it was VERY dark. I looked at the houses while passing. Hmmm, it’s dark. I pulled up and went inside. I heard the alarm chirp as I opened the door but when trying to turn on the light, nothing. Power was out on the whole street. I used my phone as a flashlight and found a candle. I lit the candle and tended to the animals by candle light. Since ibbi was with me, Dali was in hiding. I found him perched on the bar with the “evil eye” towards ibbi. I pet him for a bit and tried to make him comfortable. The power resumed in about 30 minutes. I turned the heat up and headed for bed. It took some patience but I was able to set the time on the alarm clock next to the bed. I just can’t get along with that thing. It is even too complicated for me! Since there was a missing item in this equation, I slept on her side. It didn’t really help. mT is certainly my main thought the entire time and was heightened while trying to sleep. I woke up to the tune of ibbi whining. She had to go outside. She is such a good alarm clock. She is the other girl that I would do anything for. We went outside to potty. I came back in and took a quick shower. I left pretty early as today I had meetings in the morning. While driving in, I called and let them know I was running behind. I miscalculated the arrival time by 10 minutes. Traffic was a bear.

Thursday morning meetings stink as bad as my Monday morning meetings. Though these are usually not as long since it is just more status from Monday than anything else. Lately I try to keep my mouth shut. I found that when I open my mouth, more work gets piled on Tom. I have enough on my plate to keep my really busy. Well, I just couldn’t keep it shut! They were talking about getting baseline performance numbers on all devices we work on. For example: Network cards, Storage controllers and full systems. I listened for about 10 minutes before piping up. I couldn’t take it any more. I am the performance KING! So, I reminded them that I wrote a tool while at Dell that would gather all of the required information in about 20 minutes. I went over all of the features and capabilities. I mentioned that it would be a good utility to have here and that we should write one. Everyone jumped on-board. Oh crap! What did I do? I expanded on the utiliy and said that it would be important to gather CPU utilization while the test is performed. They all agreed. Result? I have to define a complete specification on what/how the tool will work. I then have to explain it to my software guy so he can write it. I hope he can keep up with me. The task is not an easy one. I know because I have already done it. More work for Tom. Ok, that meeting ended punctually in it’s alloted 1 hour. Now it’s time for our Managers meeting. I loaned some guys to another group and they are not performing up to par. I have to correct that. I also have to hold some other people’s hand as upper management is worried the are “not doing any work”. This industry is cyclical. There are times one is swamped and times when there is a “catch-up” period. So, this doesn’t bother me that much. They are concerned with any down time. Ok, I have to correct that too and give more face time in that lab. Now for the REALLY cruddy part! Yearly reviews are due Monday! Oh poop! How much do I have complete? NOTHING! I have not put one minute to this task. I also have to complete a training class next week. I haven’t even written any documentation on the topic yet. Oof! Let’s see - order of importance - Reviews / Get POP3 configuration information in SuSE Linux to one of our customers / Documentation and Training prep. and setup (big task) / Complete specification of new utility for performance. I also have to whip my folks in to shape today. By the way, our Christmas party is tomorrow. Another hole blown in my time. Hmmm. Personal needs will supercede any of the aformentioned activites. I have to be ready for my Tammy when she gets home. What can be the minimum I can do quickly (and that HAS to be done) before my angel gets home? I will certainly do the reviews. The POP3 information can wait. The training information can also wait until Tuesday. The specification is more of a long-term activity. And this whipping in shape will happen today. There! Now I have a schedule that does not conflict with a pleasant day for the return of my Tammy.

In my imagination, I see them out to sea somewhere. I bet they will dock tomorrow and set sail sometime Friday night or Saturday. I hope she is wearing the Bull Frog sunblock. That stuff really works well. I wouldn’t want her in any pain with all of the lying by the pool. Come back already, won’t you?!?!?!

I am going to leave very shortly. I have spent the entire afternoon doing NOTHING! I surfed all over motorcycle websites. I feel great about it . Now I go home and get ibbi. We’re gonna head to my Tammy’s and check on the animals. They need some lovin’ too! Oh! I have to eat too. I just remembered that I am starving! Boy, I hope I don’t forget on the way home. Kidding…

I bet my Tammy has docked somewhere cool again. I am sure they are having a blast.

mT level still high!

Back from “lunch”. I can’t really call it that because I FORGOT to eat! What a retard! I was so busy running back to the house to get my A/C adapter for my laptop that I forgot to stop and eat. I hate when I do goofy stuff like that. I look at it this way, I’ll be off pretty soon and just grab something then.

I got a phone call from the last one earlier. She knows that my Tammy is away on a trip. During the conversation, she mentioned that she had a date in Austin Friday night and asked if she could drop by and let Ivan hang out with ibbi while she was in Austin. Since brains process faster than reading this, I thought all of the following before replying. [Switch roles with Tammy - Tom on trip - Tammy at home - Tammy's ex wants to visit for some misc. reason - Tom would be friggin' pissed and it's just not right!] I told her that I did not think it would be appropriate. She then asked if sometime Ivan could visit if my Tammy was around. I said no. She asked if they would ever get to see each other again. Again, I said no. I hope my Tammy doesn’t feel bad that have still spoken to her. I do believe that if the shoe was on the other foot, I would not be happy at all. In fact, I would be worse than “not happy”! I can only hope Tammy understands how much I care for her and her feelings. She is the BEST and ONLY one for me!

Sheesh! I drank too much. I didn’t get to work until 10:40! What a slacker!

Robert and Dezi from work came to the bar last night. We (Paul and I) played against Robert in foosball. Robert is really good! After I warmed up I was able to kick his butt still! Ha Ha!

I don’t have my A/C adapter for my laptop that I am on! I am at 56% battery right now. I must have left it at home. Doh! I guess I’ll make a road trip and get it at lunch.

Well, my check cleared the bank and I have money again! Woo hoo! No more quarters for buying my food! I really don’t like not having money. It’s tough.

Tonight’s plans consist of just working around the house. I’m going to clean and wash clothes. I want to make sure everything is done so I can pay full attention to my Tammy when she returns. Ooof! That’s wrong! I have to check my Tammy’s animals tonight. So, scratch the cleaning. Will do that tomorrow. It sucks having so much time to do this all. I would rather be under the gun and spending time with my Tammy. Speaking of her… mT level is off of the chart! I’m gonna have to just jump on a plane and get her! Ha ha! A guy can always dream. This sucks. This sucks. This sucks. Can you imagine me just stomping my feet chanting that? Because I am… I hope she is ok and having fun. I imagine they are cruising on the ocean again. I really don’t know their schedule and their stops but I will just make stuff up in my head.

Ahh… I also got an e-mail from Mrs. H. this morning. What a nice suprise. She must be running around in circles also without her Tammy. Tammy is just waaaaay important to so many people. She’s the greatest!

Man! I am ready to leave. Of course I have just been sluffing off thinking of my Tammy. I also still have a raging case of the mT’s. There is no place like Sunday - There is no place like Sunday - There is no place like Sunday - There is no place like Sunday! Man, it worked for the girl in the red shoes! Maybe if I get red shoes? Oh well, worth a try…

I was reading the MySpace blog thing again. I really like the sound of the last part of the comment from my Tammy - “I am yours, always!”. The sound of that just makes me stop dead in my tracks. I really dig that! Tammy, I can’t wait to see you…

Gonna head out in 10 minutes to check on ibbi and then go play some foosball. Certainly I can find other things to talk to Paul about. Hmm, lets see… Football? Nope. Baseball? Nope. There you go. It’ll have to be all about my Tammy again. He is gonna just sock me in the face with all of my Tammy talk…:)

I took a late lunch since I came in so late… I went to the gym. Did back / biceps / shoulders / abs. No treadmill this time. Running out of time and did not want to get TOO sweaty and go back to work. I even had enough time to grab a bite on the way back to work. The plan tonight is to check on ibbi and then head over to Paul’s house.

I wonder what my Tammy is doing. I bet they have stopped somewhere by now. They are probably checking out the sights somewhere. I hope they are alright and they are having a great time. Over seven days, they should have a million stories to tell when they get back! My mT level is still pretty high. My normal mode of operation is to look at the end of things and not the present. For example: if there was a project due in 3 days, I would not worry about the cruddy part that I am going through right now. I would just see the light at the end of the tunnel and work towards that. This has been the way I have worked my entire life. I apply it to work, life and people. I am not this way when it comes to my Tammy. I miss her every second she is away. What the heck is going on with me. She is ALL that I think about! Yea, I do it when she is here too, but I know I will see here within hours. Not so much so today… Awww…

Day 2 starts much like day 1. No coffee/smoke/good morning buddy. mT factor is still high. On the way to work I was able to deposit my check. Whew! I now will have money in the bank!

So, last night I went home and gave ibbi some good old fashioned lovin’. We played for about half an hour. I then decided to go ahead and cut my hair and shave. I know that Tammy likes my hair a bit longer and I figure a week after a cut would look the best for when she arrives. I put ibbi in her room and headed out to the gym. I did chest and triceps this workout and was on the treadmill for 2 miles (intervals). I felt really refreshed and energized leaving the gym. While leaving the parking lot, I had a weird feeling about Tammy’s house and animals. Don’t know why. Well, one thing is that I don’t think we adjusted the heat at all before leaving. So, while full of energy, I drove down there. The whole time I spent looking at the almost full moon wondering if Tammy was looking at it also. Sigh. I got there and went in and hugged on the cat a bunch. Checked everyone’s bowls and status. After doing that, I went on the porch to have a smoke. Hmmm… The back door is not locked! Doh! I checked around the house to make sure that everything was still in its place. All looked fine. I then went back to the porch and sat down for a couple of minutes. (Tangent ->) Funny thing about neighborhoods is that you can hear EVERYTHING. I was sitting there and heard the intimate ongoings of her neighbor. Woo Hoo! (<- End Tangent). I played more with the cat while watching TV on the couch. I did not bring a computer and wanted to surf on the internet for a couple of minutes while watching TV. I turned on her laptop and forgot that there is a password on it! I typed some stupid stuff in until it just locked me out. Oh well. Hey, what about her desktop? Ok, I walked in the office and used the computer there. I checked e-mail and re-read my MySpace blog (I really do think highly of my Tammy). I suddenly started gazing at the screen and just going off to la-la land. Don't know what happened there. So, after shaking my head upon my return from la-la land, I glanced on the desk. Hmmm. Pictures. Maybe some more family pictures. (Tangent ->) Ya know, I feel really comfortable around Tammy’s family. They are very nice people and I FEEL that they found it in their heart to accept me as good enough for their daughter. Makes me feel pretty good. (<- End Tangent). Yea, well, ok. These were not family pictures. Since I found that typing things out helps with thinking of things, I'm gonna send myself another e-mail here about the pictures. So, I then said goodnight to the animals, checked the heater settings and headed out. Got home pretty late but decided to do some work. I worked for a while and then went to sleep about 04:30.

Obviously I did not want to get up this morning. I rolled out of bed about 09:00. I took my time getting to work since I worked a good part of the night. When I got to work, there was an IM from Paul about Saturday. Here is the text:

PMuellerxx: Nevermind on the digging this weekend. I'm gonna wait until the weather isn't crappy.
tbraselton: wha?
tbraselton: is it gonna rain or something?
PMuellerxx: Looks like it's gonna be ugly. I'm not gonna worry about it.
tbraselton: well. if it's nice sat, we'll still plan for that, k?
PMuellerxx: Cool. May just be beer drinking...
tbraselton: k!

We'll see how that works out. So, today I plan to work out at lunch instead of after work. This allows time after work to check on ibbi and head back to Paul's for foosball tonight. I am two nights up (I paid the last two times). They were small nights so he can make up one BIG one tonight. I have a feeling that I am not gonna make it home tonight. Gonna have to spend the night at his house.

Tammy, please hurry home...

This video is just too cool! This would be really neat to do. Correction. Neat to be ABLE to do!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=515642196227308929&q=russian

I think that I am going to go home in a couple of minutes. I have to get my stuff to work out tonight. I did not bring it. I will go and check on ibbi and then head to the gym. Hopefully this will reduce the mT issues… Yea, no frown this time. Trying to be positive. Ok, I’m positive that I miss Tammy!!!

I have been working. I mean REALLY working. Different than just showing up and answering a few questions and chatting on the Internet all day. Since lunch, I worked on two issues with some of my people. I also made a chart that differentiates the Maximum Theoretical Transfer Rates for different bus types (ISA - PCI - PCIX - PCIe and the like). The chart includes data widths, signal speeds and transfer rates. I am adding the speeds that can be expected from devices that we have experienced through practical use. I also found the PCIe specification for each of the types of slots (x1, x4, x8 and x16). With this data, I can either find the place to probe or build a small board to find if a card is running at the proper speed while in a slot. For example, if a x8 card is in a x8 slot, the speed of the slot should be at x8. There are times when cards run at x4 while in the above configuration. The only solution we have now is a Windows-based software that could be unreliable. Gosh I’m a geek.

mT factor still high.

Well, I have been waiting for a royalty check from some of my software. I FINALLY got it! My plans are to go in halves with my brother on getting her a car. I can finally do it. So, this should be a memorable Christmas for my very special neice. That makes me happy. She deserves it! She is wonderful.

Moving back to my mT sickness. That is not any better. No, the pictures didn’t help. I really cannot wait for her to return. I hope all is well on her trip.

mT stinks. Yea, it is only day one. I know that. Still stinks. I know that the day is only HALF over. I was just outside for an after lunch smoke with Tyler, Ronnie and Mike (he was in the receiving area). They were all chatting about this and that. I was kind of chilly so I made sure to stand in the sun. With each drag I would close my eyes and faced the sun - ignoring the current conversation. The whole time was spent imagining my Tammy by the pool feeling the same sun I was feeling. *** WAKE UP TOM *** it is only day friggin’ ONE!

I guess I will finish this entry and stare at some of her pictures. Will I feel better? Naaaa, more mT…

Tammy, are you back yet?

Ok, this is the first entry. Tammy is on her cruise having fun. Tom is stuck here hating it. The real “missing Tammy” did not kick in until last night. She and Andrea were on their way about noon on Sunday. I had to drive to Dallas to work on my brother’s network. I drove to Dallas with minimal “missing Tammy” problems (tell ya what - I’m gonna be using the “missing Tammy” a bunch. I am gonna shorten all of this to “mT”. There will be no quotes, you will just know what I am talking about.) Anyway, got to Dallas (4 hour drive), worked on the computers for a total of approximately 8 minutes and fixed them. I went to the restroom and drove home. So, up to this point, I had a number 2 at McDonald’s (two cheeseburgers and frys and a drink) so I was hungry. I stopped at the ATM and the machine laughed at me. It said that I had “Insufficient Funds”. What the hell? More on that later… My mT problems were still under control at this time. I got home and greeted ibbi. While heading out the back door, it hit me! mT was all over the place. The house was quiet. There was no smell of coffee brewing. There was nobody there to ask “wanna go smoke?”. Ok, that sucked. So, ibbi and I went out and had a smoke. I came back in and the mT crap got worse because I was heading right for the bed. I was pooped. I brushed my teeth, took off my clothes and climbed in to a cold and lonely bed.

That crap was just yesterday evening! Doh! This is gonna suck all week. This morning was the same. No smell of coffee. No “wanna go smoke?”. No “Good Morning, Honey!”. No “Have a great day!”. There will certainly be no plans of a PL (Productive Lunch) or even just a lunch. I moped to work and sat through another boring Monday meeting.

Alrighty, back to the “Insufficient Funds” crap. I check my bank account after my meeting. Apparently, I was billed twice for the cruise I booked for Tammy and myself. Oh you jerks! Oh well. I will find out what the deal is and have it corrected. So currently, I have a friggin’ NEGATIVE balance - bigtime! Damn. Living on quarters for lunch this week!

Friend Paul IMed me this morning. I have to go to his house on Saturday and help him dig up his sewer line. Apparently this will save him $2200! I told him to have plenty of beer handy and I’ll help .
