Just another Monday
It's back to the grind. I could have used another day off just to do nothing. Nothing is good.
Weekend was o.k. Uneventful which is what I wanted.
Saturday I went and got my ultrasound done and then ran out to the VW dealership to try to get the issue with my front, right blinker light taken care of. It is completely jerry rigged but I managed to avoid the duct tape for a bit longer! Decided to hit the Goodwill on BelAir Road. Managed to pick up a hardback copy of The Half-Blood Prince for $2.50. It was in great shape. I also got a copy of The Order of the Phoenix on Friday night for $3 something at the thrift store. Only four more books to go and I will have the whole series in hardback. After hitting Goodwill treated myself to lunch at Chili's in White Marsh. I don't know if it was what I ate or just that I had wanted so long to eat; but my stomach started to complain. I decided forgo seeing a movie and returned home. After resting for a bit, getting my stomach to settle down, and finishing laundry, I decided to head out and look into getting a new router at Best Buy. Then I trekked over to Blockbuster where I rented 300 and Heartbreak Kid. I watched about half of 300 and ate Taco Hell of dinner. I enjoyed the movie. Man, was there a lot of eye candy. *meow* I wanted to watch it before going to see the parody movie coming out on the 25th. I'm looking forward to that. Not sure what time I made it to bed.
Sunday, I got up and was feeling under the weather. Kind of felt like I had a headache and general malaise from FMS. I decided to spend my morning working on my computers. I installed and set up my wireless router/network. It was much easier than the last router I had. I'm very pleased with the results so far. Yay for being able to internet from anywhere in my apartment now! I spent most of my day on my computers and trying to get a home network set up so I could transfer files from the old computer to the new one. Needless to say, I couldn't figure out what the deal was with the work groups and what I was doing wrong. So I gave up on that. I hunted down my external hard drive and realized that I had lost the A/B USB cord for it (i.e. it is lost somewhere in a box). Got some things done around the house (vacuuming, litter box, etc.). I decided to trek back out to Best Buy and get one. It was more expensive than I thought it was going to be but necessary. Stopped into the Home Depot looking for plastic velcro. Believe it or not, they didn't really have what I was looking for (both sides plastic). Then I ran over to Wal-Mart b/c I need stuff from the store. Figured I could get just about everything I had on my list plus some other things that I don't usually get at the grocery. Picked up some slim fast. There was a good deal on the Chocolate kind so I figured I would try it out. Not sure that I like it. :/ I went in with a list of 3 things and ended up getting $40 worth of stuff, except one thing on the list. I figured since I was there I would look at the velcro stuff they had. Amazingly enough and with the help of an employee, I found something like what I was looking for and for only $2! Now I can re-attach my sleezey pass to my windshield! Overall, it was productive trip and I didn't kill anyone. Went home and started dinner b/c I was starving. Sat down and ate dinner while watching Heartbreak Kid. It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. But it had its moments. Afterward I worked on the computer some more and transfered files via the external hard drive. I got to bed around 11 p.m.
7:30 a.m. came early this morning. But I dragged my sorry ass out of bed. Brought my external hard drive with me to work so I could put some other music on computer here. Also so I could back up some personal files I had on the drive here. Did some research on home networking and I think I know what I need to do with the laptops. We shall see. Broke down and called the foot doctor to change my appt. for the 26th to something closer. I wanted to wait so I couldn't need to take any extra time off but the pain has just become so bad I can't hardly stand it. Sometimes it just hurts so bad for no reason. Like really bad nerve pain. I'm beginning to wonder if it is some sort of foot problem related to diabetes or something. Some form of diabetic neuropathy; even though I keep testing negative for diabetes. :/ So I'm going to the foot doctor on Wednesday morning. Then the breast doctor that afternoon. No working late that night..
Looks like I will be working tonight. Still having the same problem with the indexing tool as I did on Friday. But it doesn't look like an "easy" fix so more QA work this evening. I don't mind. It is work. Just wish that we could get the other issues with my work/software/applications fixed. Trying to fight off a visual migraine right now. I hate the visual part. So annoying. But it is probably from so much staring at the monitor. And what am I doing? Staring at the monitor. :P
Well, time to get back to work on stuff.
