Now, I'm too oriented!

Yesterday I had the hardest time getting with the program. Today, I'm nothing but the program. As soon as I finish one little thing, another pops up.

The dark in the morning is still hard to get used to and it's way darker because of our rain. I am not complaining about the rain. Nope. It could be a little cooler... cause the raincoat is trapping a lot of heat. But, the rain is good. Tomorrow is supposed to be the rainiest so far.

My Mom called me this morning! She finally got her calling card (the one I had Polly buy for her) working. She's very good and sounds very good. At one point in the conversation she said she was going back to her apartment in two weeks and then later she said she was going back tomorrow.

Then I got an email from my sister (who was directed by Mom to send it). My sister says that the staff is reluctant to tell Mom stuff for fear she'll get depressed. My sister instructed them to tell her everything which was a good thing for her to do. She also noted that the main person who is giving Mom information is just not being careful about what Mom is understanding. I know she's right about this too. I've talked to this woman and she's wonderful but wordy. I'm pretty sure that Mom's just dozing off while she rambles on and so missing the key points...

Oh and my sister also complained about Mom's computer - said she was getting some really obnoxious pop ups and duplicate emails... Well, then back away from the damn machine, you fool!!! I'm going to Norton's Rollback the thing in a little bit. I told her to stay off of it until she saw a note from me that she could use it again.

She's should be using my mantra... 3,000 miles/3 timezones/thankyoujesus - it's the only thing that is saving her eyeballs from being gouged out.

My officemate is out today so at least I don't have to hear about how cold it is. I finally told her yesterday that I would entertain complaints about the cold ONLY from people wearing sweaters and socks. She was in a sleeveless top and sandals and refused the offer of my sweater. I am a bitch. But at least I'm good at something.

Conspiracy

It seems like there is a lot working to annoy the heck out of me but I'm strong and I'm not letting it happen...

My sister has now totally hosed up Mom's computer. I did finally get her to back away from the machine and leave it alone. Whatever she did now brings up about 6 popups and popunders when you open up any web page. She gets this even with two pop up blockers going. She had an old Spybot version installed so I ran it. It choked. I then went to download the latest Ad-Aware and about the time I'd fought my way through all the popups to the download page, Comcast, apparently went down.

I do have a little piece of software on that machine that reports her IP address every 5 minutes. This is a handy way to see if she's cut off from the world... as of now she got cut off at 4:30 p.m. today. I'll worry about it all later. My brother, bless his heart, has volunteered to go back up there again over Labor Day if he needs to fix it.

I did not get my Crocs today and I did not get my house keys back from Miko today.

Tonight's Mariner game is all about inducting a player into the Mariner Hall of Fame. Problem is, I have never liked the guy. He retired a couple of years ago and we had a game that was full of how wonderful he was. I'm only now recovered from that one and we've now we've got another one. Should make the loss du jour all that more fun.

My ceiling is still not painted. It was supposed to happen Friday and then Monday and then Tuesday... It's really not a biggie - I know it will get done eventually.

Oh and there were no less than 2 new messages on my answering machine about voting. I have really enjoyed the no-call-list benefits. At least here there has been a serious decrease in telemarketing calls. Until this last month. I get at least one and often 2 and 3 calls a day encouraging me to vote. I get it. I always vote. I don't need to be harassed thank you very much.

Ok, that's it. That's my list. Nothing worth crying over and now that I've bitched here, I'm ok with all of it!

On the up side. It is cool and I just saw the 10 day forecast with only 1 day where the high is expected to be more than 70 degrees. Finally. MY weather!
