I'm setting up my wireless Tivo network right now. go me. Of course, since they had to install the new digital cable last night when I wasn't here, the tivo doesn't actually get a signal, but baby steps.

I actually spent yesterday busily organizing. That means that my house is even more chaotic.

Yep. That's sounds familiar. The whole "it'll get worse before it gets better" saying definitely applies.

I'll be setting up this later today. I'm nervous about doing it and I wish I had a tech type person here to help me, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Oh, and Happy Birthday wishes to MiracleMan!

Go Vortex!

We have had that kind of router, Nicole. DH is a network administrator/engineer/architecht (I don't know what his official title is any more), so I don't have to mess with those things, but if you run into trouble he can probably answer questions...

Happy birthday MiracleMan!

Tricks are A-OK, Lilty. I am having a lazy Sunday, enjoying a big cup of coffee in my SF2F cup, watching a football game whose outcome I do not care about at all. I don't think I can get more stress-free without being asleep. In fact, I've probably been under more stress while I've slept. How's things with you?

Happy Birthday Miracleman!

When I was growing up my family played boardgames over Christmas break. The game table and the Christmas Tree are closely associcated in my mind. We would play Monopoly until somebody won. And it was usually my brother. So it is very funny to me that he will now not play games because he hates the cut-throat competition.

I don't envy you, Nicole. I have really bad luck when it comes to setting those things up. (Or, ok luck and a laptop that hates me anyway.) I hope everything goes well!

I have to go watch a football game today too, -t. I guess that hypothetically I do care about the outcome, but I won't really be paying attention. At least not so long as Uncle Dave made good food. Plus, they've got a new baby weiner dog. Puppies trump football. Otherwise, things are not bad.

ETA- Happy Birthday Miracleman!

Puppy, yay! That's why the Puppy Bowl is on opposite the Superbowl, presumably.

if you run into trouble he can probably answer questions...

Thanks! I might need to take you (your DH) up on that.

Shower - Check. Just waiting for my jeans to dry now. Why I didn't think to do laundry yesterday when I was sitting around the house all day, I don't know.

Happy Birthday Miracleman!

Welcome back, Hil!

Good luck setting up the router, Nicole.

Thanks for all the sleep wishes, they must have worked, because I ended up falling asleep on the couch last night and then dragging myself back to bed around 4 am. We slept in until 11, so I ended up getting more than a full night's sleep and I have less back pain this morning than I have had in weeks. I'm hoping the lack of pain will last.

Happy Birthday, MiracleMan!!!
