Increasingly Impedingly

Woke up this morning to a broken pellet stove. After I tore it apart I realized that I didn't know what I was doing, looking for or how to fix what could possibly be wrong with it. This is after I tore it apart that I realized this. Then I got a call from Kevin so he could walk me thru the system upgrades, which I've been working towards since Monday, backing up and moving files & programs. When I started to completely reboot my system, which by the way is now complete empty, no nothing, I got a call from Dave to get some work done on some jobs we've been doing since before Christmas. Only problem now is, I don't have a functioning computer. I am in the process of rebooting all things work-related, and personal items, but these things take time. I got enough done that I can write this. That was easy enough. But I am cold.

At the same time, Laura is out on the town looking at new cars. We both planned to go today, but with the perfect storm touching down this morning, I decided to stay home and get some work done while Yuula takes her mom around town to gather some intel on buying a new vehicle. We don't know much about anything right now. But as we speak they are one their way home to pick me up and look at one. Laura got herself worked up about one, so we'll go see what we can see. I think it's the heated seats that sunk their hooks in. Let's hope getting out of the living room will shine a new light on the day, which is almost over by the way.

Cleansing By Means Of Upgrade

Big move today. On the computer that is. I didn't realize the amount of stuff I'd have to back up, just in case. Bookmarks, playlists, programs, libraries, photo files, music files, video files, projects, labels, settings, favorites, passwords, and the list keeps getting longer. Hopefully by the end of today I will be switched over and can start moving things back, a kind of cleansing by way of upgrading. I used the OS on Kevin's computer down in Georgia during Krupp Christmas. Smooth. I don't get too deep into the high techy stuff, but the simple things do it for me. I'm a little nervous that this is going to turn into a disaster and I'm gonna lose a lot of important or sentimentally valuable information. But that's the price I'm willing to pay for hat fancy snap feature.



In the meantime, I am making sweet love to this cherry pie today. I didn't get my fair share last night, on account of me gorging myself with the beef curry. So I'm making up for it today. More than. With our "no dessert clause of 2011" kicking in as soon as it's gone, I am relishing in each tasty forkful.



On the baby front, it's just Yuula and me today. She's really starting to be able to entertain herself. She can hold her toys, kinda, and she just adores her feet, and as long as I prop her up with all the pillows and blankets in the house, she won't fall down after 8 seconds. They make her screech like a pterodactyl. I'll have to get a video of that. But she still needs her fair share of human contact, and if she ain't ready to be put down, she ain't being put down.
