While tomorrow is my birthday, we just had a great brunch, are currently having tea (with a complementary birthday tea for me), and then we are going to go paint some ceramics. CJ gave me a Kindle and K-Bug gave me tickets to Miranda Lambert at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Wheeeeee!!!

Yay, Suzi, that sounds like a great day so far!

Had tea instead of more coffee. Still don't wanna much of anything. I can probably get by with not doing much, but at some point I'm gonna have to do something.

Inspection complete. I should go buy more plumbers tape. Ok, will do that now!

Timlies!

I woke up feeling icky, in an unspecific way. And now I have no ambition to get anything I need to do done. I just want a nap.

I feel like we haven't heard from omnis in a while. Am I wrong? Have I just missed his posts?

I am running a virus scan on this blasted machine. 2 infected files found so far and not even a qtr done. 2 windows keep popping up about mal ware scan and I know those are themselves mal ware. Ugh. I am so out of my depth on this. I just want them gone and for this thing to run faster.

RIP Dean Smith. A great coach and a great human being.

He was a good man, and he made Chapel Hill a much better institution than it might otherwise have been.

Sarameg, I have a whole new respect for your ongoing renovation efforts. I've been helping a friend of a friend get her rental house ready to go on the market, and just four hours of priming and painting a day leaves me totally worn out.

ETA: Msbelle, Malwarebytes is a good, free anti-malware program. I would recommend downloading it and seeing if that clears up Mac's computer's problems. [link]

Have decided that I need to do three loads of laundry to get through the coming week, and have the first of those in the washer with the other two on deck. If I get some meals cooked today, great; if I don't, eating out every meal is also okay.

I will set my expectations higher next weekend, probably.

Did the laundry, but haven't made my bed yet. I tried to go to the supermarket, but it was a total clusterfuck, obviously, so went to the liquor store instead. Seems like a fair tradeoff! Also, I scraped up a ton of ice off the front walk, but it will probably come back tomorrow, along with the million new feet of snow. Good times.

I can't imagine that much snow, Jesse, dang.

I got up early, sat around for a couple hours, and then managed to drag myself to Goodwill to donate some crap, and then to the park (because it's a nice day out!) to run. And then the grocery store. But the dude who was supposed to pick up my old dining room table and chairs just bailed, so now I think I need to load those up and make another trip to Goodwill. But perhaps I will do some more closet-sorting first. And laundry. And stuff.

Also trying to decide if I want to try to do some DIY stuff at home (changing out a wall sconce and a hanging light to different ones; changing the deadbolt to a keypad lock), which are supposedly simple, but I suspect I will screw up. But a professional could do them in about 10 minutes each, which seems silly to pay for. Ugh.
