Temperamental Tuesday

Standard

First, my son misses the bus on the 2nd day of school. Speaking of school, I think he’s going to like it as he sounded really optimistic when he got home yesterday. Brian was ranting at me while I was lying there in bed this morning about calling and complaining (I don’t even know the bus #) and the computer was restarting itself again on the AOL screen. This prompted me to go to AOL tech support online. The guy made me take off the AOL we were using before reinstalling a new version. Get this, it rebooted when the new software was looking for the modem! Something is rotten in Denmark-or AOL land! I did reinstall the AOL adapter a few times and that seemed to help.
I’m in the process of moving at least 300 books so we can move our existing bookcase to the opposite wall and move the computer desk where the bookcase was. I’m getting a second bookcase so it will be right next to the older on. Brian asked if that would be a lot of weight? There’s no basement under the floor, only the old cement garage floor! This use to be the garage. Plus the books are all around here anyway. I really think I will try to get rid of many of them anyway. Not only do we have to exchange things, but I need to paint in here as it’s been almost 12 years since we converted the room to living space. I love the golden butter color. I may go a shade darker just for something a little different.

All by myself…

Standard

All by myself today, except for the cat and a computer that didn’t want to get online. I think I may have figured it out, but we’ll give it a few days. I uninstalled the AOL adapter because I remember the auto fix doing it a few times. It’s a major pain or PITA.
Then everything rained down, not only outside, but inside too. My brother called and said it would cost almost 1K to fix my almost 9 yr old van’s anti-freeze gasket. My husband came home from the dentist and said he had three cavities-yep-more moola for that right around Sean’s 18th birthday.
Sometimes I feel like George Bailey from the classic movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. He always came inches in doing something he wanted and then got screwed. Like I wanted a second bookcase for all my books all over the house and I finally ordered one. I said, ‘What the heck’ and ordered one of those microfiber sofas in red! I love red as an accent in my family room. I have a red slipcover on my 12 yr old sofa now. So then the van started acting up and I know I shouldn’t really spend the money on the above furniture. I’ve been dying to spruce up my 1960s honey wood kitchen too. I want to redo the entire thing. I just don’ t know where the money is coming from. I guess I’ll probably have to get a real job other than just doing eBay.
