Had to take the day off. I’ve been fighting this damn flu thing, and I still don’t think I have much, but I’ve been coughing up a storm so I decided to head to the doctor and make sure I don’t need any antibiotics. Last year I just rode it out and ended up with…
I dunno. I’ve felt crappy all day, but I think I’m OK. I feel better. A good night’s sleep would help. Let’s hope that it comes. Katie’s better, mostly. I hope Ellen’s not getting sick, though. *sigh* I’m going to bed to see about that night’s sleep. Did I say that already?
All night katie was coughing. it is SO hard to listen to your child in distress. I just wanted to grab her and hold her, but that wouldn’t stop the cough. *sigh*
My little one, katie (3) comes up with some good ones, but here are 2 in a row this morning. 1: Mommy, where do skeletons go in the wintertime? (my response was to just laugh and hope she didn’t press the question…) 2: Me: What do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas this…
I was going nuts with my laptop. It was dead–a bad hard drive. I am SO proud of myself for fixing it completely myself. I got a hard drive from a client and completely dismantled my iBook. I don’t know if anyone out there has done it, but taking apart an iBook is NOT for…
Today was fun, mostly. I did have to spend about 90 minutes on the phone with a client, and then spent a “good” hour doing my invoicing for the month, but I got to chat with friends and watch the entire NY Giant football game, an excersise in frustration that lasted almost 4 hours, but…
Tonight was a Bar Mitzvah for a cousin a zillion times removed whom I’ve never met. 90 minute drive each way, a gift, $100 for a sitter and a saturday night wasted on what amounts to a wedding without a bride for 13 year olds. Truly silly. And my table consisted of one cousin whom…
This is the first year we’re doing pumpkins as a family. At this point, Katie and Ellen are still getting help, but they’re hanging in there! Here’s Katie’s kitty cat: And Ellen did a “disco” version of Pearl, from Finding Nemo: And I’m pretty proud of the Marlin/Nemo I did: Geez, how could I have…
Let’s say you work at home, and at work, on a desktop. You don’t want to shlep a laptop back and forth, etc, but you want your files in both places, email, custom feel. This is the coolest thing: The Antelope. It pops into each system and IS the computer. hard drive, CPU, etc. Although,…
No work today (which is bad for a pay-by-the-hour consultant), but it was a sleep-in rainy morning, which WAS nice. Got to go to lunch with my 5 year old, so that was a treat. She loves chinese food, weird in a little kid, I think, and we went out to a local buffet place.…
