Today was okay.
Mar. 16th, 2004 03:26 amI have been afraid to post much today, since the day has actually gone quite well. Not that I did much of anything today though.
I slept in until 3:00 pm because I didn't really fall asleep till something like 7:00 am. I got up, read my LJ, comics and e-mail. Then I had a shower, checked out slashdot and cooked
taxlady and I some 'breakfast' with lotso-extra-double-bacon (okay, technically only 5/3 extra bacon) because we were both in that sort of mood.
Then I pulled the last working CD reader out of the firewall machine in prep for getting my wife's machine up and running. The firewall still works, as evidenced by the fact that I can post this. I was getting ready to put it into my wife's machine when she told me not to bother. She's decided that there is a reasonable business case for buying hersefl a new fast burner. (At the rate she charges for her time it will have paid for itself in saved time after she's burned only 8 CD's).
So, since I had some time on my hands, and the wife wanted to do LJ and read her email and stuff, I took down the christmas tree and ornaments and packed them all away. (Yeah, I know its taken forever to get around to, but it looked festive and I've had stuff on my mind that seemed much more important at the time.)
So now the plan for tomorow is that
taxlady will go and buy a new CD burner and I'll install it for her. Then I'll haul her machine downstairs into her office and then put together the server using the CD drive from the firewall and haul it upstairs to my office. Providing nothing else goes wrong, the upgrade hassle will be finished with tomorrow, and we can both try to get back to some kind of routine.

Anyway, the important thing is that I currently have a plan that I think will keep me alive while working on other plans, so I'm going to go with it. We'll see where it takes us. I'm starting to realize that I'm sufficiently resourceful when pushed that I may yet come up with another bunch of ideas to run in parallel with these. That way no one failure will be my doom.
So, on that note I'm heading off to bed. I'm not even feeling too stressed so I expect to sleep. How nice it is to have a day without a crisis for a change.
