As computer geeks Reed and I often get calls from friends and family for tech support. We (Reed there with me on the phone) spent 4+ hours at my folk place undoing what was done wrong to their computer and installing a new printer.

Well, it took long enough -- but we FINALLY have our bedroom set complete!  It took a few weeks to get the last piece shipped.  They delivered and installed the last bit Sunday (yesterday).  We worked most of the day getting things finalized and I am VERY sore and tired -- but also happy! :)

We already had the new curtains up and I had bought a new ( Read more... )

Ever since the car accident (March 2004) I've suffered from occasional migraines.  I'd spend the day in the bedroom with the windows covered and take vicodin -- that seemed to do the trick.  But this month my migraines have gotten VERY bad ( Read more... )
