Egg timer update

Accomplishments:

• I now have high-speed wireless Internet access. It takes some getting used to. One of the people on my flist posted some kitty pictures, and I found myself thinking that I'll go do something else while I'm waiting for the pics to download...oh, they've already downloaded. And yes, I'm aware of the irony of having dialup in San Jose and getting high-speed wireless in Fresno -;)


• I have a new telephone answering machine set up with two handsets, thus addressing the problem of having only one phone jack. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the fax machine, but I haven't found it yet anyway.


• I now have a remote to get into my apt. complex again, and my phone number is hooked up to the intercom at the gate.


• Nima took matters in her own hands, and busted out of the home office. I was bracing for a spat with Random, but Random was perfectly calm with Nima. They've had no problems at all. However, Random is still hissing up a storm at Harlee (go figure--in their San Jose incarnation, Random and Harlee were friends, not Random and Nima). Nima busted into my bedroom one night, and Harlee seemed tickled pink to have a friend to play with. (However, I don't like Nima's new habit of busting through doors. I'm just waiting for her to run outside.)

Glitches:

• I lost my cell phone (and promptly flipped out). However, it's insured, so I ordered a new one. I asked for it to be delivered yesterday, but it hasn't arrived yet.


• I haven't made (and won't make) as much progress on the S.J. condo as I wanted to. Not sure what to do about that.


• I haven't made as much progress on the Fresno boxes as I wanted to. I've decided to sort through the boxes and prioritize them, and put lower-priority boxes in my garage. (I ordered a small, collapsible hand truck, but it hasn't arrived yet.) I need to ask the apt. manager if I can rent a parking spot temporarily.


• I'm really low on money, and haven't been reimbursed for the move yet.

There's a theme going on about letting events unfold rather than trying to force things, so I've been mulling that over.

Gotta juice to S.J.
