Had the day off, so I took care of the housework I did not get to on Saturday because I felt hideously tired, due to my cough flaring up and us needing to get up early to go to Mass (All Saints' Day). Also headed out to run some errands: picking up food and writing in for my hours. And I found out from one of my co-workers that I'd just missed a ( Read more... )

And done a day early: I got in to work this morning after very little sleep due to my sinuses being messed up yet again, and my boss asked me if I didn't mind taking the day off? I hemmed and hawed a bit since I could use the extra cash, but my fatigue won out in the end. I punched out and bought some turkey dinner fixings (and hot chocolate mix) ( Read more... )

(Because I've had to kick comments from a spammer in Argentina off my personal journal, my fic journal, and for some very strange reason, the RP journal I created for John Reese, all weekend long, here's me repurposing a 1960s classic by the Guess Who.)Argentinian spammer, stay away from me ( Read more... )

Posting from McDonald's where I am using their WiFi (and kicking myself for not bringing my headphones, since there is someone using a yellphone behind me who's getting on me nerves ( Read more... )

About a half hour ago, I was typing away happily, tagging RP tags, rewatching the first season of Supernatural, and musing about what fics I was going to work on, when out of the blue, I cannot get a single letter to appear on the screen. I figured it was a momentary hang-up, but even after waiting a few moments, I could not get any letters to ( Read more... )

...Or no need for it, since I now have the laptop connected to the home wireless connection. Just got off the phone with a very nice tech from Verizon, who diagnosed what's up with the desktop. It appears said desktop has a virus, as there was nothing wrong with the router. It was a simple matter of finding the passcode to hook up to it, and that ( Read more... )

Well, sort of. Thanks to a trip to the Best Buy in tax-free Salem, N.H., I am now the owner of a shiny new Dell Inspiron 17 laptop, with wireless capabilities, among other bells and whistles (like a webcam! Oh my!). I still don't have a connection via Verizon... However, I just discovered a weak wireless signal (possibly my neighbor's) and so I am ( Read more... )

And it is rather starting to get on my nerves, though that likely has something to do with missing a bus as I scrambled to get back to the library in town, which is just a mile from home, and thus pretty much in walking distance. :: Sighs:: I'm keeping this short and simple since I still have tags at carpe_ho_ras to catch up on and I want to be back home at a ( Read more... )
