Hump Day

Today was more or less a carbon copy of yesterday, weather-wise (oh, I got through the night without any alerts, BTW).

At lunchtime, I went to GFS to pick up some stuff I needed. Since I was already on 6-Mile, I went over to the library to see if I could get a book I wanted. I checked on their computers, but it was checked out and two people had already put a hold on it. Which means I wouldn’t be able get it for at least a month. Forget it!

I stopped in at the house to drop off the frozen food I bought at GFS and then headed back to work. The cats got an early treat, but no eating lunch for me, today! Instead, I chugged a bottle of that Endure crap back at work.

Finally it was five o’clock and I headed home. I checked on those tulips, but they’re not ready yet. Inside, I treated the cats and changed my clothes.

I wrote out a bill and balanced my check register (always fun). Then I watched the rest of the evening news.

When it was over, I went to work on getting the My Book (the external hard drive) set up on the desk. I originally was going to back up everything and then stick the drive in the fire safe (so I could get everything back in case of a catastrophe). But, I got to thinking about weekly backups, etc., and decided I was being to paranoid. I thought I’d put it between the printer and the wall (where the cats can’t knock it over) instead. So, that’s what I did.

It was very hairy to get behind that desk (and I mean that literally)!

I ordered a couple more things from that Gardens.com I think I need. We’ll see...

I warmed up the last of the shrimp scampi for my dinner. I wasn’t feeling all that perky, so when TV started to bore me around 9:00 PM, I just went to bed.
