Today wasn't eventful at all. I am glad we at least got to see the fireworks last night, to celebrate our freedom at least in a minimal way. I am really glad that Landon got to see a big fireworks show, even though he is still probably too young to ever remember it. I could tell he really liked it.
We didn't do anything but hang out together at the house all day, just the three of us. Travis and Skyler, and Brax came to visit us for a little bit. Me and Travis hooked up the xbox that he was trying to sell to me, he got from Jonathan Wilson. Well, needless to say the xbox doesn't work. It gave us an error code and first flashed one red bar, then three.
Elizabeth cooked us a nice chicken dinner tonight with her delicious fried potatoes and some baked beans. It was really good. She is an excellent cook.
I got a lot done on my laptop today. I cleaned my Windows Vista OS and removed files I don't use anymore, and reinstalled my Ubuntu linux distribution to the newest version and updated my drivers and plugins to 64-bit. It is finally running nice. It had been giving me some messed up errors that I didn't know how to fix before. But, I knew I could fix it. It just takes some time and reading sometimes.
I am not really sure when I go back to work in New Martinsville. It isn't that I want to be away from home, but all of this time at home isn't earning me anymore money. And money is tight right now. I really cannot wait to get a vehicle. It is absolute torture for all of us always being trapped in the house. I wonder if I will ever make enough money to be that comfortable. I sure hope so.
I want my baby boy to be proud of me when he grows up. I will try my very best to make that happen.
