Zoey and I are still enjoying coffee and computing in bed. Well, I am anyway. Zoey is here, I think, to prove that I haven't shut her into some cabinet or closed her in a drawer.
There isn't much on the agenda today. I will be taking the bears today on the way to swim. The bear adoption agency is The Seattle Baby Corner. It has been in 3 different locations since I started taking my bears there. (I just looked it up - thank you, LJ - April 4, 2007 was the first delivery.) All three locations have been fairly convenient but this latest one, which also happens to be a long term one, is really handy. It's about 5 blocks from the pool. They are open from 9-noon Monday-Friday. Pretty easy! The pool opens at 11 so it all works out.
The baseball game begins at 4 but also, the new apartment building out my terrace is tweeting that they will be conducting 'hard hat tours' from 4-7. I may or may not go check that out. I really want to see the finished product - more of the 'open house' showing.
The tours today are part of 1st Thursday Art Walk which is a big evening deal in this neighborhood. Galleries and shops stay open late and, particularly in Summer, the neighborhood gets pretty crowded. There are lots of special events going on this time so I suspect there will be lots of people.

The anti-Midas technology touch
Aug. 1st, 2013 03:13 pmDo not let your gadgets anywhere near me today. Everything I touch either dies or goes whacko. All damn day. I broke 3 waterproof MP3 players today. I broke 4 but I was able to bring one back to life. (Why I have so many is a sad story in itself.)
I ordered a smart case for my old Kindle Fire thinking I'd start using it again but it won't even stay powered on for more than a half minute today and, turns out, the case I got was for a Fire HD which mine ain't. Did I send the case back like a normal person? Hell, no. I boxed up my old Fire to trade in to Amazon for $50 and bought a refurbished HD for $160.
I went to print out the shipping label and my printer printed the page in 3 parts on 3 different sheets. 4 times. A reboot of the printer finally got it all out on one page.
My earbuds I keep next to my chair which were kind of expensive - $20 instead of my usual $5 - decided not to work unless I keep the answer button pressed at all times. I wasn't sad about them - I've always hated them.
Non tech wize, I put my hand down the side the mattress to grab a dust bunny and got yet another blood bruise on my arm. I had most of them well on their way to healing. Crap.
Somewhere - Google, dropbox, laptop, desktop... somewhere, I built a folder and named it Pretty and dropped random photos I liked into it. And now I cannot find it anywhere.
But, I'm powering through. My swim was good and Zoey hasn't gone into hiding.
Plus, I just checked my investments and I've had an EXCELLENT financial day. I try not to get bummed on days when things are down but when they are all up like today, I love it. I know it's not at all reasonable and I don't care.
