I was experiencing some frustrations yesterday, and I'm having some more today...mostly I'm aggravated with Paypal at the moment. I switched banks, I linked up my new bank info and tried to delete my old bank account, and Paypal won't let me delete it. Gives me an error saying that there's a...

Well, crap. I just got an email from Q's orchestra teacher, that he did not make it into Chamber. He took for granted that he would, because they have more open seats than they had people who auditioned. The email emphasized the need for private instruction in order to make it in Chamber, and...

Yeah, I'm just glad (and honestly, surprised) that Red Dwarf has had such longevity. There's at least one season of that now, that I haven't even seen. Gotta love British TV...

The boy seems to be healing well. We've got his follow up tomorrow. I forgot my cell phone at home, which is very annoying. I'm going to have to run home on my lunch break and fetch it. I feel uneasy without it, mostly because it's the one number I give to everyone to reach me, and if one of...

Well, his surgery went well. His recovery is going fairly well. Day one, when the anesthesia started wearing off, by the time we got his prescription filled, it was starting to hurt quite a lot, and he took his meds and then felt better. Day two, he thought he didn't need pain meds at all...

Right! I will leave the boy in the car when I fill his scripts, and instruct him on what to do if he needs to puke. And I'm totally gonna buy grape juice. I'm going to the store for soft foods and such after work today.

I went to the discussion group last night, and it was quite good. Got my people time, gave (I think) some helpful thoughts to a friend or two, and finally talked to Jersey guy about my concerns. He waited until everyone else left, because he was getting a sense I was maybe avoiding him or...

Well, I skipped posting yesterday because I could not think of much to say. Not a lot of eventful things are cropping up in life at the moment. My son is getting his lower wisdom teeth surgically removed under general anesthesia on Friday morning, and his friend-girl said I should get video of...

So, weird morning. Traffic was stopped on a VERY busy street here, like a 6 lane (plus turn lanes) road congested with businesses and a mall on one side, that carries mega heavy rush hour traffic (for this area)...because a herd of mule deer were crossing the road. I mean, they're a pretty...

I posted on Facebook about my network stuff. Called to my IT nerd friends to give their input. Got input from a lot of non-nerds with useless suggestions, such as: - I clearly stated that I was NOT willing to consider moving the router or running Ethernet. One person suggested I move the...

Update on home networking stuff: (I'm kinda happily geeking out at the moment, doing research.) I am thinking that instead of: a.) An extender or repeater, which will halve the bandwidth of possible connections to the network, most likely b.) Powerline, with or without an attached access...

Well, I did a piece of troubleshooting on my computer issue yesterday, at least now I know that MY wifi problem (at least) is due to distance and interference between the router and my machine. Moving the router isn't really much of an option, because Zen wires directly into it with his...

The common thing is community. I get really into big communities, for various reasons, that are anchored by some shared interest. I don't really need the GWAR community that much anymore now that I've got the kink community. I kind of wish that Zen could have seen how it was when I showed up...

I took yesterday off to spend with Zen, and I'm glad, since it snowed and commuting to work in the morning would have sucked. It did get sunnier later in the day for a while, and we went out to eat. Mimi's Tillamook cheddar mac, heck yes! He had a salmon dish. I also bought him cake and ice...

Yeah, well. I'm not comfortable with game systems with webcams on all the time in my home, either. Echoes, and Dots and the cable company wanting to install security cams. Stuff like that....just NO THANKS. I know my cell phone is always listening, and that annoys me quite enough as it is...

It was a good weekend! I took Zen to a resort hotel and we spent Friday and Saturday night there. We rented "The Shape of Water" and I really enjoyed it, we had fun, fun sexytime and we just really enjoyed our time together. Everything was super awesome except... There was some kids' hockey...

My Mom did Ancestry's DNA test. She found a cousin through this, and the cousin found her... And evidently the testing showed my Mom as the mother of this cousin's child (which is impossible) also. However, family disclosures had revealed the actual connection. Mom's father (my grandpa) has...

My god, what a crazy mess. And ya know, it drives me bonkers, I have conservative friends who argue against socialized medicine because they say that the quality of care would be so much worse if it weren't for good ol' capitalism. Bah! Our quality of care in the US sucks! I have friends...

Sympathetic thoughts to Pixi. Dental problems are just the worst! :( I hope things get better soon and the tooth can be saved.

Well, this weekend, I put into motion some plots and schemes to celebrate the combo holiday fun time of Valentine's Day + Zen's Birthday. I have come up with some fun ideas for his actual Birthday next week, also. Last night, we gave one another cards and treats, and he also came up with...
