Woooo hooo!!! RAIN!!
Jul. 23rd, 2014 09:13 amWe do not get much rain in the Summer and even after 22 years here, it still seems unnatural. I love rain but I really really love Summer rain and today we have some. And it's wonderful. When I left the house this morning for the pool, I realized that this was the first time since spring that I have had to have my lights on when I go to the pool. A great sign on it's own.
Half way there, it started raining - big old ploppy rain drops. So nice. And it is still going now.
My swim was good even though it was interrupted have way through with a not so nice little coughing fit which was exacerbated by the realization that I did not have my rescue inhaler with me - even in the car. I finally got past it and was able to finish my mile with easy breathing and no coughing. Whew.
Today's adventure is sending a piece of technology back due to power port issues. Deja Vu!! This time it's my Windows tablet. And the company is Dell and I'm thinking they are going to be the opposite of HP to deal with. Starting with no email service for this kind of warranty issue. Blech. As soon as I get it fixed, I'm selling it. It's too fiddly and not worth the hassle.
The baseball today is an afternoon game which will be nice for a change.

Tracking the progress
Jul. 23rd, 2014 04:59 pmAs I suspected, dealing with Dell to get my under warranty tablet was as painful as dealing with HP's warranty service was delightful. I have now created a timeline with notes of each offense for my own amusement and in case I actually do need it. They are sending a box. As soon as this thing gets fixed, I'm selling it. And, Dude, this is my last Dell.
So, since my only other Windows machine (the rest are Chromebooks or Android devices) is my desktop, I'll have to use it for iTunes. I hate hate hate the idea of contaminating my PC with iTunes but it's the only way I can maintain my Shuffle for swimming. At least, at this point, I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled the stupid software enough times that I understand how to set preferences to at least mitigate the take over and cut down on some of the nagorithmics. Still, I so hate that Piece Of Crap.
And the Mariners lost ... again ... to the Mets. Ugh.
And my lungs are having a not great day. I'm sucking down my inhaler and taking my CoughNoMore pills but it's not working all that well. At least I have no where I have to go and noting I have to do. And I can go to be early if I want. And just sleep it better.
On the very very very up side, it's been a gloriously wonderful rainy day today. It feels like everything got washed. And it's chilly. I just had to shut the door! Well, except for a crack. It was either that or go find my slippers or some socks. What a magnificent middle of the Summer gift. I love it. And if I do go to bed early, I know I'll be able to comfortably snuggle under the covers.
So... to sum up... bitch, moan, bitch, moan, bitch, moan, yeah!!!
