Life's little ironies...

I am here in San Diego, and my hubby is on a plane headed for... TULLAHOMA! This is all a Cubic conspiracy to keep us apart, and/or to drive me crazy (yeah, short drive, I heard you). He will only be there tonight and tomorrow, just long enough to meet with the Atlanta customers, pick up the nine hundred thousand things I forgot to bring, leave the household money I forgot to leave, and confuse the hell out of his poor mama.

I am drifting badly here lately. It's like I have lost my bearings. Mostly I drift off to sleep. Do you think 12 hours a day is too much? Well, I do, too, so I have been making some Gatsbyesque "resolves" to do better and to stop being such a slug. I decided to revisit my old craft skills. Thought I'd try my hand at knitting; bought needles and ribbon yarn and spent three days screwing up what should have been an easy project. I bought big needles figuring they would be easier to handle with my insensate fingers, but now I'm thinking they may be too big. I have jewelry craft stuff here, maybe I will tackle that next.

I have also been working on the policy manual and job descriptions for the Mother's Day out we are trying to start at my church. It is very slow going, but I am plugging away at it- when I can get to the computer. ;) My beloved daughter and I have just amicably resolved a jurisdictional dispute over the computer, so I should be a lot more productive.

In the meantime, I have to go shopping (darn!) for sundries and other things too personal to mention, so I am signing off for now. (I am actually encroaching on Kelly's computer time while she is in the shower, and her revenge will be swift!) More later- I have the night shift.

You know, a second computer, a wireless network card, and a moderately talented IT person could cure your computer battles...

Or is this like that episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 where Tom and Crow spend an entire host segment complaining about how old their encyclopedias are until Mike buys them new ones and then they're disappointed because they miss complaining about the old ones?

Oh, no, she has her own laptop - in Nashville- and we already have a wireless network set up, to accommodate Dave's laptop. No, this is just another example of Kelly's marking her territory ;) She has lived alone too long, I fear. I, on the other hand, am the easiest person in the world to get along with. I only want one thing in life...

my own way.
