post 20

Last night, Amanda was gone on another retreat. This was her third and final one. I think it was her final one – at least for training anyways. She went with her staff to Silver Creek Falls, so I was a little jealous. They are actually still gone, so I hope that they are getting plenty to eat and drink. Because I wanted to be like my wife, I decided to sleep on the floor in the living room with mats and a sleeping bag. I also used to lantern to read. It was the first time using this sleeping bag and it was mighty warm.

Amanda has an ultrasound on the 30th of August to determine the age of the little guy. Hopefully we’ll get that situated and then let everyone know exactly when the doctors say he is due.

Last night Amanda was gone and had asked me to do some laundry. The machines in our building were replaced recently with machines that take a card swipe instead of quarters. So ITS had to hook some hardware up to get them working properly. Well they were up and ready to go yesterday so I went to swipe my card (which I have had tons of trouble with) and nothing happened. Well I swiped it several times and finally it said that there were no funds available. I knew that wasn’t true because I had just put money on it the week before. So I went to the machines I used before on the other side of campus and they said the same thing. Well I tried swiping my card in the machine to add money to it, and that wasn’t working either. I was getting a little frustrated. So I walked to the Law Library and tried using their machine to add money, but the card was not responding.

Well this morning I went into the card office and they fixed it up for me. The magnetic strip had gone bad. It still worked for the doors because they use different strips or something like that. Now I can do my laundry.

Something else I wanted to mention. When Eric started his blog, he said that he was just going to ramble and write what he thinks. I guess he stopped thinking on April 3, 2006, because I have not seen a post since then.
