Well, I’m feeling a little better today than yesterday! Today hasn’t exactly been great, but much better than yesterday so far. Of course, today Mark’s having an awful day, so I’m feeling bad for him. But turn about is fair play. He took such good care of me yesterday, so I’m going to take really good care of him. He was supposed to make dinner tonight, but I told him to forget it, I’d treat to a delivered pizza, which is going to be a rare treat in our poor little apartment. That really perked him up, as much to be taken care of as to not have to cook. In the good news department, my supervisor is out of the office today doing jury duty, so I have the office to myself and get to work on my blog during my lunchtime :-) Yea! In more good news, my new computer arrived at the apartment today! And poor Mark, he only got his new speakers. The computer and monitor won’t get there until tomorrow. I feel really bad for him. He has today off, so I wish his computer had come instead of mine so he could play with it while he’s at home. And I can’t even set up the new computer because we weren’t expecting it until Friday, so I hadn’t brought over the computer desk and monitor yet. Arg! But, I may be able to pick up that stuff tonight so that I can set up my computer tomorrow while we wait for Mark’s computer. The one thing I really love about my job is the schedule. I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and a half day on Friday, so I get a nice break right in the middle by having Wednesdays off. I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow! My body forgot how to wake up at 6:15 during vacation, so the last couple of days have been rough trying to drag my tired butt out of bed. So, very soon I will be able to post to my blog from my own apartment! Woohoooooo! I’m very happy about this development. Before I can use the computer, though, I have to figure out how to network it with Mark’s. And to do that, I’ll need Mark’s computer, so I’ll have to conquer that tomorrow. It promises to be quite interesting. I know some things about computers and I’m savvy enough to install my own ram chips and Ethernet cards, but installing network cards and getting all this up and running will be a whole other ball of wax. I think I’ll be able to figure it out, though. In fibery news (which is what this blog is supposed to be about, anyway) I’m almost to the point where I start the heel on my first sock. I’m kind of nervous about this, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to figure it out like I did with the toe. I’m also getting serious spinning withdrawal, so I’m trying to decide what to start spinning. I’m thinking I might do some spinning for sock yarn, but then I’ll have to decide between the Crosspatch Creations Quinilla in Blue Jeans or some of my own hand dyed roving that the Twisted Sisters book has me wanting to spin. Hmmmm… decisions, decisions. Also, I just won four different auctions on ebay in the past week that I’m paying for with my Christmas money, so I’ll have to look those over and play with them as well. Two are silk from the silkworker and one is llama and one is alpaca, both of those from my very favorite ebay vendor, luckyduckfarm, which is who I got the lovely black llama blend from that I posted earlier. But spinning these new ones is going to be my reward to myself for getting everything moved and in its rightful place, so I may not get to spin those for awhile LOL. Maybe they’ll inspire me to finish the unpacking! We’ll see. Have a great day everyone!
