Day of Doom
I woke up this morning with a headache. I blame the wine.
Anyway, took some Aleve, ate some breakfast, felt okay. Go to start work. Realize neither the office computer nor my laptop have the Internet working. Fiddle with every wire I can. Decide to do other things.
Get things ready to make a post office run. Go outside quickly to check the mail before leaving in case there is anything in today's mail that I need to send to Amy in Michigan.
Realize I have an *extremely* flat tire.
Spend an hour changing said tire. In July Texas heat. Now, I *could* have called AAA, but I would have been waiting forever. AAA is great, but they take a bloody long time to come and help you. And, since I am perfectly capable of doing that myself, I did.
At 1:00, I was done, but really hungry and hot. So, I made lunch, finished watching Sense & Sensibility on DVD (Emma Thompson's Golden Globe speech is on the special features and it is SO cute!), and got a call from Amy. She's having just as bad a time as I - bad brakes on the car and a completely fried harddrive. She needs her back-up XP disks, which I have now searched high and low for without success.
Called the cable people. Internet now functional (obviously), but the guy thinks we need a new router. That means Internet on only one computer. Blah.
And now I'm nauseous, probably from being outside and sweating it up. Day of EVIL! X___X
