Hey folks. My new computer died an ugly death a couple days ago...I just hooked up DH's old computer and am on that, but mine's going to have to go back to Dell. The motherboard is faulty and the hard drive is beyond damaged. Ah well, that's what warranties are for.
(I can be calm now that I've gotten in 24 hours of swearing because buying a new computer is NOT a trivial expense, and I need one in order to make any money at all...grrr...)
I *love* reading Emmett stories, especially baseball. They make me happy to have a son. And also homesick for Northern California (tho it's the DH's home, not mine).
Skippity-skipping to say Daniel had a bit of car trouble, which delayed his start, or rather, he started, drove a while and went back, fixed it, then got back on the road. As of Midnight MST last night, he was doing fine, and had made it almost alll the way through Iowa. Which incidentally offers a free half-hour's access to wi-fi at all its rest stops.
go, Iowa!
So we smartly detoured into Berkeley and saw Howl's Moving Castle. (So. Fucking. Good. I don't know why it's gotten less than rhapsodic reviews.)
I don't either. I read it as an adult - and missed the magic I would have found if I read it as a child. The movie gave me the magic.
Let us know when and where you'll be in fremont. I wonder if you will be playing our neighbor's team? K's team is really good- they have a fierce reputation. thinking about it I think they are 10yr olds, so probbably not.
As always, I love the Emmett stories. Go Emmett!
Raquel, that really sucks about the computer. I'm glad it's still under warranty, and I hope you get it back soon.
I kind of overslept this morning. I looked at the alarm clock at 7:03, rolled over, fell back asleep, looked at the clock again at 10:05. Whoops. And I was going to go to a deaf church this morning for class. Oh, well. I've still got time...
I finally heard from the boy I asked to study with me. I thought he was blowing me off, but turns out he's in Philly for the weekend and not checking his mail much. He can't get together this weekend, but he says he'd like to another time.
I'm in my old granny pjs this morning. I forgot how much I love these in the hot summer. It's a long knit nightgown, but really feels like a long knit t-shirt. Can't really walk the dog in it, but it's nice for sleeping and lounging around the house.
I keep thinking I want an old-style cotton nightgown (all Little House On The Prairie and stuff) but I just end up with them wrapped around my waist, so there's no real point sleeping in anything longer than mid-calf. As is, I'm in plaid flannel PJ bottoms (with random krav logo appliqued on) and a shelf-bra cami. Flannel to be substituted out for silk or boxers as the weather demands.
Oh, god. I can't even *think* about flannel right now!
It's still chilly (for me) here at night. I'm also wearing socks and sleeping under two blankets.
Thanks to Emily, I'm able to keep my room fairly cool (I stole her air conditioner, because I just am not able to handle the heat at all with this new med I'm on), so I'm still sleeping under my big comforter. I need the weight, otherwise I don't sleep well. I don't wear socks, though, and my feet stick out from the comforter.
ita, what's your comfort zone, temperature-wise?

I'm happiest between 80 and 90. I'd rather be >90 than <80.
