Early dancing

The Gateway is sitting on the floor, waiting for another go-round on getting it to go wireless. I remember having trouble when I did it with this Dell, but this time I should know what I am doing. I thought I had it last night, then I lost it. Not sure what is going on, but I will figure it out. I am, if nothing else, tenacious.

So I continue to deal with two computers, dial-up on one, and wired cable on the other. The cable one requires me to sit in my office on a hard, wooden chair, so that doesn't last long. I have a nice office chair in the garage. Anyone want to drag it through the house and up the stairs for me? It has been sitting there for a year. I could probably do that, but with the wireless I just didn't bother.

Since I will be leaving my house in a few days for a trip, I am doing the usual pre-travel freak dance steps. I seem to have gone into ADD mode a little early this time. It's really pitiful. I went to the pet food store and bought two 40-lb bags of Science Diet for the dogs and a 20-lb bag of Science for the cat. Since she is 17, it might be a bit optimistic, but hey, Wiz looks good for an old fart. She is such a good kitty.

After lifting those bags into the cart, then into my car, then dragging them out of the car, I think I will cancel the massage school appointment for tomorrow and call the vampire to come do me. He really did eliminate the pain in my body, and it's all back again. Who wants to get on a bouncy, flappy train to do a Shake-and-Bake routine for 5 hours or so while already sore?

When I got home from the pet food store it was time for the dog's 6 pm milk bones. I went to the garage to the 20-lb box and found two baby mice in the box. They weren't there last night. They looked extremely terrified. I tipped the box over and let them out. Now I need to make another trip to the pet food store for fresh milk bones, untouched by mice paws.

Oh, the phone issue. Well. I ended up with T-Mobile, because they are the cheapest in town, plus they gave me a free phone. It has a camera, video, all the cute little toys, and it is about half the size of the Nextel phone. Nextel is not happy with me. However, I decided to stick with Nextel for a week more because calls within Canada and home from Canada are 20 cents a minute with Nextel. They are 70 cents a minute with T-Mobile. I have a vague fear that I should have just bought the expensive new phone from Nextel and stayed with them. I have never had a problem with service with Nextel. No problem in airports, basements, elevators, malls, any place at all. But the T-Mobile phone is so cute - I was hooked. I also have internet on it. I have it on Nextel now too.

I have to send in a million papers plus official transcripts if I want to be considered for doing Protective Services again. I didn't even mention to the HR woman that the job I had, the same damn job, required a master's degree at my classification. Go figure. Does she think I lost my degree in the last 2 years?
