Aug. 5th, 2008 10:51 amThe thermometer says it's 94 on my terrace. I'm so grateful to my air conditioner every day but especially today. I have the blinds drawn and I'm trying not to move or think fast. So far so good. I'm a cool cuke.

I did strip the bed today and after I finish this, I need to move, slowly, to the washer to transfer everything to the dryer. This is a day of thrilling escapades at SDHQ.
--
My RAID system is back on duty. I took the backup spare hard drive and inserted it backwards and upside down into the case with the other two. There is room for 5 hard drives in there and I figure that when I need it, if it's right there, I won't have to go hunt it down.
But, then I got to thinking that maybe my brother might come in here after I die to sort stuff out and he'd look in there and think I was a total bozo for installing it wrong. So I sent him a note explaining.
It cracks me up that I care - I'll be DEAD! And he'll be distracted by why in the world I have so many band aids. And old wallets and who the fuck needs that many purses and bags? And did she not know that you can actually throw away a shower curtain liner when you are done with it? No need to save them all.
Etc. Etc. Etc. I now have yet another thing to be grateful for. I am so glad I will not have to to hear what they say about me when I'm dead.

I need to gen up a yarn order today. I'm getting down to the dregs. It's always when work is slow (so paycheck is slim) that I have the time to spend the money that I'm not making. There has to be an axiom named after someone for that phenomenon.
