It’s been a strange weekend.
Little Miss is sleeping better but still not through the night. It’s either 4:30 am or 5:30 am and LSW is getting up to sort her out. I’ll be doing it tonight because it’s my turn but it’s nowhere near as bad as it was.
LSW and I have had a strained weekend, mostly due to the usual chores that we have to do, which basically are taking a lot longer to do than planned. The lack of money doesn’t help that much at the moment. The Boiler has caused a lot of problems and I’m getting used to the fact I’ve got no money.
Work is quiet and I’m making progress with the C++ language but it’s hard going.
The game is complete. There are a couple of things I’ve got to do to a little tidying up. I’ve now got to look at ways to market it.

So Much for a Happy New Year.
I’ve just realised that I’m beginning to sound more and more like Ee-or everyday. Little Miss is not sleeping through and never has properly this year. Lord I am so tired and if I’m tired LSW is worse. Little Miss is only settling for her and she’s always being shouted for.
Little Miss has been very ill for the last week with a temperature of between 39 and 40 oC. A Couple of nights ago, we even thought we were loosing her, but it seems the fever has broken and we’re going to have to go through the whole routine of putting her back down to bed.
Work is odd. We’ve got a new starter and I’ve got to back out all the work I’ve done on the new security stuff so that some builds can go out to some new clients. It’s very frustrating having to undo work but At least I can honestly say that it’s not my fault. One of the other developers has been incompetent, so were having to cover for it.
MXO, the game and the story progress well but it’s just a case of getting the time. The Story has about 4000 hits on it since it started ten weeks ago. However, I am running out of my pre-written chapters and will have to start writing new stuff soon.

Little Miss is Knackered. She’s waking at 10:00 pm and not falling asleep until between three and four in the morning. LSW and I have, yet again, reached the end of our collective tether. She has had a temperature and she is very unsettled but we can’t see what’s wrong. Another day or so of this and we’ll be taking her to the doctor.
The main difference is the fact that LSW and I are supporting each other, as opposed to taking chunks out of each other. Silver lining and all that.
Work is still ballistic but there are a couple of rays of hope. I’m being left alone to get on with things and that helps a great deal. Mind you, the fatigue is really getting to me and a couple of modules of untested code when into our products. Thankfully, they worked first time so I really feel I dodged a bullet on them.
MXO, my stories and the game progress well, but I’m not getting the time to put into them. Hopefully, once Little Miss is settled again, I can step up another gear.

Weekend, What Weekend?
Little Miss is getting into Bad Habits. She’s now waking at three and wanting attention. It looks like that over the next few days I’m going to have to go to bed early and wake when she does at three. It’s going to be the only way for her to calm down and start sleeping through again.
The bathroom in almost finished but, as per usual, as soon as one problem is got rid of then another appears. I was up in the attic and noticed some moisture coming through from the roof. Bugger! I think the roof is starting to leak. I’ve not given LSW the Full News yet because I want the bathroom out the way first, but that’s going to be more money out of my pocket that I can really afford.
LSW haven’t spent that much time together lately so I can’t honestly say how we’re doing. We haven’t argued that much but then again we haven’t had time to even talk.
Work, on the other hand, is running quite smoothly. There’s some nice stuff I’m getting my teeth into but I’m still considering my options.
The Game Beta is broken. I’m going to have to remove it off its website, still I’m going to have the proper release available by the end of the month, so Hopefully it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Happy New Year
And at the moment it is. 2005 was a bad year for me and I hope that the bad luck we’ve had stays there.
Little Miss seems to have got over the problems she had with the cold and teeth. I think that’s all of the teeth through now. She’s been sleeping through without a problem and she’s now running around calling for mummy and daddy.
The Bathroom only needs the new floor putting in, which will be this weekend. The shower still needs some tweaking but the major leaks have now stopped.
Things between LSW and I now seems a lot better than usual, we just need to keep this momentum up. The fact we’re getting more sleep seems to help. Mind you Christmas was stressful. Neither of us got much of a break but we did have a nice New Year where we decided to go to the Casino. We didn’t win any money but still it was a good laugh.
The Bank has finally admitted that it was their fault with the cards and it only took two months to sort out. I got a letter a couple of days ago. If I ever get a chance to refuse that bank any kind of business I will, just out of petty revenge really.
Work is odd. We have several crisis’s running at present but I’m not bothered by any of them. I’ve decided to stay detached from the whole thing and just give them my 37.5 hours a week. I’ve got to catch up with the game now so it’s not going to take such a high priority on my time from now on.
MXO is very strange at the moment and I did finally meet the Oracle Character from the Film in game. She was talking to another player and had a quick word with me as well. Quite a highlight
I’ve just started recoding the final parts of the free version of my game, hopefully I’ll have something by the end of the month.
