Tuesday

Todays anchor event is swimming at noon.  Or 11:30ish.  The before and after of that is pretty wide open.

Yesterday I got all the bills paid for the month.  I am trying to build up my on-hand cash.  At the end of this month, I have to shell out major $$ for drugs and I want to make sure I have the $700+ that my car will want for its annual checkup in August/September.

So finding things like this beautiful and functional table is not helping.  It's on sale which is pretty hilarious since knocking $50 off of $400 still makes it way too much for me to justify even using all of my justify tricks (of which I have a giant toolbox full).  So I just lust.



A very nice knitter found a couple of minor errors in my teddybear pattern.  Neither were really critical but both needed to be fixed.  On the web page, and in the PDF.  Fix I did.

I've been using a chromebook exclusively now for a while and I love it.  Doing things like fixing that pattern are a snap - no need for Windows or Windows programs.  The only thing that I cannot do on this thing is edit my brother's newsletter.  I could do it but I don't want to buy the software needed since I have it on my desktop.  But that newsletter and keeping the pc uptodate are really the only times I use it any more.

Updating the chromebook is painless and while precious little can infect it, if it should hit something nasty, a factory reset is quick and also painless.  I keep some stuff on the harddrive but nothing much and nothing that I don't have mirrored in a couple of other places.  So losing it is no biggie.  I can't imagine every going back to a Windows machine.

The sun is out full blast and it promises to be toasty today.  So outside of the pool, I'll be right here in the cool.

Cool table, but why so expensive?

I think part of the answer lies in the architectural design - think artwork. And the rest is due to the fact that it is not mass produced. The ordering info says that each is made upon order - 3 to 4 weeks til delivery.

You'd think Ikea would have a cheap version!

I like your turn of phrase ... "anchor event" for the day. Whilst I'm unemployed, I have been working at having an anchor event each day. Today, it was getting through to the case managers who are handling my request for medical assistance. That took a 45 minute hold on the phone. This afternoon, I rearranged some of the furniture to get a bit more functional end table space in the living room. I know it's not an job application submission or an interview, but it's kept me out of the hot, humid weather, damaging to my health and made me feel a bit productive:) Thanks!

I thought you had a side table like this already?
