Saturday (August 13): We did sleep in, after being awake the night before until past 6:00 a.m. No surprise, huh? Hahaha ( Read more... )

Very odd. I KNOW I blogged last night. But I have no idea what happened to my Saturday entry...

I had trouble sleeping last night. This isn't strange (I've had insomnia since childhood -- no big deal).

I'll keep the IT part simple and short: I had a really busy day at the office, mostly involving IT -- and working with Donn. We added Steven's computer back to the network (server) -- it had to be sent to Texas (???!!!) to be fixed, and got back last week. That's a lot more work than it sounds like, believe me! Then we added one of the spare ( Read more... )
