My internet issues are making me crazy. I finally put a timer on the router power. It's now rebooted automatically. I can see that I lost the internet at 2 am again last night but the timer reset it at 4 so at least I had it when I woke up. Comcast changed my IP address again. Usually I keep the same IP for like 6-12 months. This time it was less than a week.
Whatever. Oh well, at least I have time to fuck with it and I don't have a job that depends on no outages.
Yesterday I reorganized my yarn so that the area around my TV chair wasn't so cluttered. When I was little my mother had 'her chair' in the den. It was always surrounded by books and magazines and mending and stuff. I don't remember her spending much time sitting. She always kept a very tidy house but the area around her chair was always a mess.
I don't like the look of the mess but I do like to be able to have a few critical things besides the yarn and remote controls - chap stick, an emery board, stuff like that. I think I finally got it all tweaked yesterday so that stuff is available but it doesn't look like a junk yard.
Today is swimming at 11. I think I'll stroll up to the bakery to collect my free loaf of bread before I leave for swimming.
Chef Anita doesn't come for another week. This is the week in the month when finding stuff for dinner is a PIA. I think tonight will be clean out the freezer night. I think there's some chicken in there... I have a potato I could bake and it's still cool enough to heat up the oven... I think there's a plan.

May. 6th, 2014 09:01 amI just read a tweet that said:
Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you should set up a life you don’t need escape from. #EverydayVacation
Just yesterday someone asked what I'm often asked, 'are you going on vacation this Summer?' and when I say no the asker is always shocked and unhappy. 'not going anywhere???!!!'. This has always amused me and kind of confused me. But now I know. I have a Vacation Life! No need to escape at all!
----
I just found out that my sister-in-law, yesterday, slipped in the grass and broke one ankle and sprained the other one. My brother says she has degenerative issues and no muscles so no support and something like this is just a matter of time. He says that it's hard for him to not get annoyed. But, he doesn't think there's anything she can do. She had gastric bypass surgery years ago and lost very little weight and refuses to exercise or change any bad habits and that does make him crazed. But... as he just said in a text:
One of my favorite people in the world, Pat Summit said: "It is what it is but it will be what you make it".... working that all the time.
(Fortunately, a couple of years ago, they sold their house and moved into the other half of his shop so they have concrete floors and bathrooms at both ends of the place that are set up for handicap access. So today, she's near him (and the techs in the shop) if she needs stuff but can roll around on an office chair and easily get to the bathroom on her own.)
