Huge congratulations to David and Gauri! It is hard to imagine two people better suited to each other :-) I was deeply honored to be a part of the ceremonial proceedings and to dance at the Garba. The song I performed to was about two people waiting to meet each other, knowing they are out there and that they will fall madly in love once they meet. It seemed very appropriate :)
It was a fun weekend of wedding festivities, with some of the best food, best dancing and best dressed people at any wedding ever. Hooray for bridesmaid outfits one can most certainly wear again! Gauri looked stunning in each of her outfits and David was the epitome of distinguished. It really was such a warm, wonderful experience. Looking at the mehndi on my hand, I feel a happy afterglow.
Ferrets are doing pretty well. I would like to see them both eating more, but their appetites are steadily improving, so that's progress. Ianto pounced at me yesterday, the first time I've seen that in a while. And Sissy stole a sports bra out of the laundry and hid it in the living room, showing that she is back to her enterprising self. They're still both looking a little fragile to me but I hope they will continue to improve. I've been asked to dance at a fundraiser for the shelter I adopted them from in July, which makes me very happy (and again glad for the Zipcar membership, since I could just say yes without checking with M first about his availability to go with me).
My pick for the Belmont came in second, digging in pretty unexpectedly for a strong effort. I can see him really improving as he matures. If I had known about the owners of the winning horse, he would have been my favorite, given the rest of the weekend (hint: they are Indian :-).
We have gotten hooked on Primeval, watching season 2 on SciFi on Fridays and season 3 on BBC America on Saturdays. Slightly confusing, but hey, the show is about time travel anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
The house was completely empty and quiet yesterday afternoon and so I had my most satisfying yoga practice in a long time. Focused on my arms and shoulders, which are now complaining today but in a good way.
And that's pretty much that. Oh, the issue with the Dell laptop is definitely the wireless card--I played it all day with the wireless card disabled and nary a pop. The Dell tech did some remote stuff on the laptop, changing some of the settings of the wireless card, but to no avail, once the card is enabled the popping begins. Next step, a tech will replace the wireless card. Based on what I have read online, that may or may not fix the problem. But at any rate, the computer will be usable for music stuff again, as long as one doesn't need to be online at the same time. I am irked that I am the one who diagnosed the problem, not Dell, but will make a point of telling Dell this, so maybe they will add this to the scripts the techs use for sound problems...
