Playing catch-up...

We went up to Mom's this past weekend to move her computer downstairs. This is the computer I built for her last year (I'm the hardware geek in the family!). After what felt like a comedy of errors, we ended up bringing her computer home because the power supply is acting flakey.

I'm also expecting parts this week to build another whole computer for a friend of Mom's. And Randy is expressing an interest in having me assemble the miscellaneous parts we have here into a "music and gaming" box that he can make boot to Windows (we're an all-Linux household, so gaming has been particularly frustrating in that respect).

Meanwhile, I received two more skeins of sock yarn in the mail today! I think I've got a backlog of about 15 pairs right now. *grin* That's not me complaining---that's me really excited! I don't know why I get such a kick out of socks. Vlad: the Anklet is coming along. I've got one sock completed and the second sock is ready for me to knit the heel flap.

I checked my weight this morning and I've already lost a total of 6 pounds. I can't believe that, but hey---I'll take it! I've backed down to 10 minutes a night on the Gazelle because my heart has been acting funny. Mom says it'd be better to do one 10 minute session each day than a single 20 minute session every other day. I'll give that a try for a while and see how I do.

And finally, I edited some writing today. Woo. Hoo. I'm not terribly jazzed about it; I don't see any problems with the actual words and sentences. But there's this mechanical feeling to the piece right now that I can't get beyond. I need to figure out some plot issues and see what the "big picture" should look like and then maybe I can get some steam under me.

I guess that's all for now.
