My connection has been shitty once again, due to loads of rain. Not that I had all that much I needed to say here, but still . . . since I last had a chance to blog, I’ve watched the first 5 “Taken” disc’s, and absolutely loved it! I’m waiting for the final disc – special features, so far, I do plan to buy the series. Like I said, I really enjoyed it.
Did the passport thingy, yesterday – now I wait 6 weeks for it to show up. S said Bridgette is waiting for her son Charlie’s passport to show up, then she and the boys will be heading to Tokyo for awhile. He said this will be a visit, but according to Andy, they’ll be moving to Tokyo around June-July; also, brother Glen and family plans to move to Malaysia around the same time, and intends to make the Malaysia office the new headquarters – but keep the Tokyo office the main network hub. *grins* ‘Course, S is repeatedly telling both brothers that he’d prefer to live in Hong Kong!
Mom phoned a few days ago with a monitor problem – it died, just 2 days before she had to have an important talk completed. So, I gave her some advise on purchasing a new (preferably used) monitor, where to look for one, etc. Well, she had troubles getting it unplugged – her hands acting up, so Don called around to various friends and neighbors, to see if someone could help. Guy from 2 houses down wan’t home, but his brother was there and offered to come help. As he’s disconnecting monitor, Mom is telling him what I said and why she’s in a rush, and he says – hang on a sec. He takes off and comes back a few minutes later with a 17″ monitor and givers it to her. To say Mom was thrilled, is an understatement, believe me! *chuckles* Guy refused any kind of payment – he’s aware of how pricing has gone down, btw – and also offered to give Mom some tech support every now and then – what a huge help (and relief! *winks*) for me!
Spring hasn’t stopped by for a few weeks now, although she did phone a week ago and promise to bring Destiny this weekend – which was last weekend. No show, no call.
Am slowly reading one of my new books, “How To Write A Damn Good Mystery” currently . . . slowly, as I’m really enjoying it and picking up some good advice, so really soaking it in. Also completed the one afghan I mentioned awhile back, and just about completed another one – have about 3 more sections to knit before I put everything together.
Lord I’m tired. Haven’t been sleeping very well – rain, and all the pain it causes. Plus, I’ve been setting my alarm for 8:45a.m. and getting up at that time every morning, as long as I’ve managed to get a minimum of 3 hours sleep before the alarm goes off. And still staying up till anywhere between 3-5a.m. before I goto bed. *sighs* I have a feeling I’ll probably crash shortly after the 100th episode of “Angel” tonight. Damn – hands are acting up, clumsy – am having to correct a lot of typo’s here. K, I’m off to scrounge up dinner and maybe catch a movie before tonight’s tv shows!
