How I Spent My Weekend by Me :-)
May. 4th, 2008 11:04 pmFriday: Recovering from work week. Specifically, asleep except for 90-minute windiow midday to pick up the children from school and swing by one optometrist to get a nosepad replaced. Productivity: naught.
Saturday: Swung by OTHER optometrist to have Z's glasses (which were broken, and then lost) replaced (where the HECK did he lose them; we wanted to snap the lenses into new frames, but they're disappeared). Late lunch, grocery shopping, and then worked on MiL's laptop, which I had reformatted for the second time until I figured out that the DHCP issues were with the router, not her machine. Dinner. Worked on her machine some more, except OHNOES! the video was flickering and cutting out. But showed when I applied pressure to the top of the screen -- probably a loose ribbon cable connector (I hoped). Except that meant opening the laptop, which scares the pee out of me, but I did it, and tightened the cable, and it seems (knock on cellulose of all sorts) to be working again. Collapse.
Sunday: Tired as heck in the morning. Got up late, wobbled back into bed feeling tummyish. Rinse, repeat several times. Probably have several hours to check mail and things now; must complete two items for Contata, and will have them out tonight or early tomorrow.
Can I get a mulligan, please?
