Exhaustified after doing serious battle with my Mac, especially iPhoto and the disk burner. I went from having 5.15 gig available to over 40 gig available. Could be closer to 80 gig, I think, but I'm too tired tonight to trash the rest of what I moved off to external drives. I began with a major backup too. Whoo!!! I swear I'd pay good money for someone else to maintain this machine for me! I also made a disk of photos as a donation to my alma mater: the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation www.shalem.org They use my photos on their website, in brochures and in newsletters. They offer the best support to alums than any place I've encountered.
But I HAD to do all of this now because I have a Library workshop to go to all day Tuesday (and then to work!), and we need to bring our laptops for it.
So I'm nearly ready, even if it means I lost a day of quilting in the process.
Woo, listener! Hopes you got some good sound nourishing sleep!
Beautiful here: not yet 70ยบ and sposed to be low seventies all week. Nights in the forties!! What a relief after last week.
Today, I'm going to learn how much work I can get done wit mr. puppy around. Starting with plastering in the bathroom. And then transplanting tomatoes.
I would have slept more but I was woken up when I got a call from the woman (same first name as mine!) who will be altering my dress for the wedding. A worthy reason to get out of bed. So, first I pick up the wedding shower gift, then comes the wedding shower (this Saturday), then the dress fitting (next week). It's happening...! :-)
Just put a bowl of food down on the floor for him. An *especially* yummy bowl (puppy food with a dollop of beef stew on top), and he stopped, and looked up at me to see if it was okay for him to eat it, lol! Had to say "Okay" before he dropped his head and chowed down. . . .
Got a roofing guy coming tomorrow to see if the hail damaged the roof. Found a lot more damage on the van than I saw on first inspection, but nothing I'm reporting to the insurance company. So many cars got beat to death in this area that they just total every car where a claim is made, pay out the money and put on your file who much they paid out. I got that straight from the agent.
I appreciate Howard Dean more every time I hear about bozos in high office. We need more leaders like Howard Dean, who is First. May he run again.
