There are no pics this week.
Last Sunday was Superbowl. I got tired after the half time show and went to bed. I was getting a cold. Danita fell asleep with the TV on, but woke up to see the last few minutes of the game. My oh my, I’m feeling old.
Temperatures were higher than forecast. The snow for late Sunday / early Monday became rain. There was no snow emergency. Danita went to work. I was stuck inside, and I had a cold, and I felt lousy. I decided it would be a perfect day to do taxes. Unfortunately, one of our financial institutions has not released their 1099s. They are supposed to be released by Jan 25. As of tomorrow, they will be 2 weeks late. Normally, I would call them up and threaten to pull my money out of their account. Just to make myself feel better. But I can’t do that because we already closed the account as part of our financial re-organization. My first attempt to fix my computer keyboard didn’t work. I don’t want to do any more until the taxes are done. Grrrr. Monday was a very good day to be home alone.
Later on this week, I got another tech problem. My Kindle’s button stopped working. The only way I can switch books is to reset the Kindle. Every once in a while, The Kindle switches the book from whatever I was reading to the Bible. It’s a message from God. I need a new Kindle. I went to Amazon. The Kindle I want is out of stock. Who knew retired life is so hard?
Our neighborhood decided they want to put car license plates in the database. I’ve had the database ready for this for over a month. There was a flurry of 20 or so Emails. I wanted to send out a sample form to illustrate a point. The license plates weren’t on the form! I had to quickly fix my development database so I could send the form. That night, I updated the official database. Nobody knows of my error except me. Whew! Other than fixing my mistake, I mostly had to watch the Emails fly by.
Our neighborhood also promoted one of the women in the office from “Assistant” to “Office Manager”. That is another flurry of Emails. There have been over a dozen so far, and it’s not over yet. This is another one where all I have to do is wait for the Emails to settle. Then I’ll change her Email settings from “Assistant” to “Office Manager” and be done.
We have a busy week coming up. We’re going to a Church spaghetti dinner this evening. Tuesday, Danita has a late meeting at UMBC. She will eat at school and I will probably grab a hamburger. Wednesday will be our dinner out this week. The Outback is just down the street from our Tai Chi class. Thursday, BG&E is coming to install a new WiFi Thermostat. And we have two neighborhood parties next weekend. It’s getting hard to keep up with our schedule.
It’s almost time to go to dinner. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
