Well into my second hour on the phone with IT support. This is so difficult.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

How are you doing, Amy?

Yikes, that's a long time on the phone! Is it on hold or actually having to do stuff??
Flea, good luck. No helpful advice.

I cannot log into the network. My card appears to be corrupted, although I can get into webmail on it. Just not into the network as a whole.
Which means, since I didn't plan for being locked out, I have none of my files to work on.
Might be time for a nap, and maybe some baking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Naps are great. I just took one. Highly recommended and would do again!

Nap and baking is an excellent plan! Yay naps!
Oh my god I just remembered that I bought popsicles last week. They should still be untouched in my freezer. This is a very exciting development in my day.

JUST SO MUCH TO BGARK AT.
So much Bgarking! Which is how I will think of the specialized barking reserved for the fixit people who have to come to the house.

Because books.
I'm mostly okay, -t! A little tired -- I've been working the 5:30 am shift during the week because one of our people is out. We're going to inside dining at 50% capacity on Friday (which means, for us, like three tables), and that's ... what it is, I guess.
I don't have a lot of energy for much right now, although I did cave and get Disney+, so I'm watching fun stuff.

In other news, I just found out from my company's owner that the program I've worked on for the bulk of the past, oh, 15 years has received a 100% score across all domains and benchmarks by the Texas Adoption Review Committee, and has been recommended for adoption by Texas preschools!

That's awesome, Matt!!
I just had a person come to give an estimate on astroturfing my side yard. Apparently it's below their $3k minimum, but I could just pay the minimum, or they could add in some nice stairs for me in the part between my patio and the side (currently it's some flattish boulders—doable but not super easy or nice in the rain) and it would be $3500. Or I could try to do it on my own/with friends (the putting down gravel, compacting, adding astroturf and sand and nailing to the ground, not the creating steps part). It seems fairly simple but that involves organizing friends and gathering all the supplies and hoping it doesn't look too bad.
