Houses

After watching some of these buying houses and fixer upper shows, i wonder if my taste is out of date.  I see people going through a house that I think 'oh that's nice', and they all say 'that has to go' or 'that's terrible'.

I must be disconnected from what's 'hip'.

At least we're going on vacation this weekend to a wedding in Indiana.  Farmhouses and 'whatever works' houses :)

Ugh

So the computer repair place took my laptop back, shipped it off.. and i got a call yesterday.  They want to replace the motherboard.  I had to call them back and explain to them that if they wanted to replace the motherboard again, they could certainly do so. at their own cost.

Communication seems to be lacking everywhere, not just at my work.

ugh.

Bad day today

The good days are getting few and far between now.  I need to start working on my resume.  You'd think a company would value 30 years of experience, but apparently not.

Resting

The fair yesterday was pretty draining, so today was a day of rest.  Some gaming, some tv.  Tomorrow is for all the chores - groceries, laundry, and so on.  And to not try and think about work.

Yeah, that's probably not going to happen.  But I can hope :)

Home again

Almost unpacked, but not mentally really ready to go back to work.  Even though I went today, my heart wasn't really in it.

Which is sad, because some of the things I learned at the camp were good things to use.  We do have the fair to look forward to this weekend.

Progress?

Got maybe a third of the saplings behind the garage in the alley down.  Still have a ways to go.  Also need to do the side of the house.  I'm in such poor shape, a half hour and I'm wiped out.

Still don't have my laptop back either.  Getting a little anxious.  I want it back before I leave for denver.

Well, that's the end of that

Didn't do much as vacations go, other than the reunion.  Played games, watched tv... did manage to go to the movies yesterday though, so that was something.

The computer shop did get my motherboard replaced, but they also had to order a new battery.  so another chunk of money, and another 4-5 days.  At least I'll have it back before my trip!
