Yesterday I was not here. My computer was not online because I decided that it had just gotten too weird and wonky and needed to be re-initialized. Which, of course, resulted in my wireless card not wanting to re-initialize, or be programmed, or adhere to a profile, or whatever it was doing. They were not talking. The computer and the wireless card, I mean.
Ok, speaking of cracked: I couldn't, for a few minutes, use my apostrophe/single quote, because every time I pressed it, the Find field was opening at the bottom of the screen. Now, it seems to be working, but that was really strange and inexplicable. Not at all mystical or meaningful. I am not sure that random strangeness is to my liking.
Yesterday, I was kind of not here, all the way around. I felt all startled by everything and even Charlie seemed... not scary or anything, just like he wasn't where or how I expected, and that was unusual. I kept not noticing things; I kept having a sense of tunnel vision, like I was just pushing through something, not really present and participating.
But, all in all, yesterday was very productive: My desk is in the music room now, and the old desk is gone. My car alignment is fixed, and both Mei-Mei and Charlie's truck got an oil change. I got my nails done (periwinkle!) and picked up my last paycheck.
Now, I just have to figure out what is making my car hiccup. Fuel filter? Spark plugs? And we have to get the butcher block in the house, which is okay, as long as we only have to move it once, IMHO.
I put batteries in the (I kid you not) battery-operated candles my mother gave me for my birthday. They're a little orange, and they flicker in a set pattern, which can kind of creep me out if I look at them directly, but as a night/mood light, they're ok... I guess. We'll say the jury is out, for the moment.
Does that bother anyone else? when things are supposed to look "random" like flickering candle-bulbs, but they DON'T?
