Today is Pungenday, day 72 in the season of Confusion, 3268.
Today's whinging: I have a laptop which suddenly forgot that it has a modem, refuses to admit that the network cable really is plugged in (unless I unplug the cable from the machine, at which point it finally thinks it's connected even though the cable is dangling from the wall) and which I am about to wipe down and reinstall the OS to see if that helps although I think it's flaky cards more than anything else; I've been tugging at my shirt all day because it keeps threatening to come unbuttoned and it's annoying me to no end; my blood sugar levels just dropped mid-con call making me both shaky and cranky; the stick is back in a big, BIG way and I keep thwacking myself in the head with it repeatedly for some reason; need to readjust my thinking about a couple of things at least temporarily after having gotten myself firmly into a particular mindset.
But the happy stuff, because I'm determined to find some: I have the latter half of next week off; a check got posted a day before I expected it to, so I now can be absolutely confident of having money in my account until Friday (if I count on rent checks clearing in 2 days, it takes 7 and vice versa); this search engine appears to be able to do pretty much what I want, so I may be done with this project soonish; I think that my disappointment will be only temporary, and I'm willing to be patient; it's an absolutely beautiful day here today, in the 70s and sunny (too bad I had to spend it in an office, but I can go home in an hour and a half). Oh yeah, and I finally had a tomato sandwich with fresh tomatoes from the farm stand down the road from the office. Mmmm. At last, it's officially summer now.
