Meeting Day

Overslept, but made it to the meeting on time. Made good time on the drive to Champaign. The meeting was okay. Only one surprise in it.

 

I was having problems with Internet access during the meeting though. I couldn't access the Internet and couldn't make calls although the phone was getting a signal. Then I tried to connect to WiFi, which didn't work at first, but then I got it to work. I figured that I'd have to take the phone in to activate it though. Then it occurred to me, maybe I hadn't rebooted the phone since it was activated? Sure enough, that did the trick. I now have Internet access and can make calls.

 

I think that I want to get a new purple Lenovo laptop, but I'm sleeping on the decision. Speaking of which, I'm going to go take a nap.

 

Took the nap, and slept straight through until morning. I haven't done that for a long time. The girls didn't eat me :) I need to feed them quickly.

New Stuff

I bought the purple laptop. Now I need to look for an academic license of Office 365. I just signed up for a free Office 365 account because I'm an educator. Awesome. I should be able to get Adobe at a discount too. Which reminded me to register for the Adobe class in the spring.

 

I fed the girls dry food when I first got up, but Zara was holding out for the good stuff (canned food). Guess that they weren't starving too much.

 

Tried to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal because reading it after work is not working out. When I get to the end of my day, I want to go home. However, it told me that I already have an account; the work account is in my name. So I guess that I need to call them to see if I can get digital access working.

 

My new phone hasn't learned the names of my cats yet. It turned Zara into Sara. It also turned the Wall Street Journal into the Walk Street Journal. Right.

 

My phone is chiming whenever someone on my friends list updates Facebook. I don't want it to do that, but haven't figured out how to turn it off. I know, RTFM. Adventures in new phone ownership....

 

I like that, when I talk to Mimi, she responds. We had a lively conversation going in English and Cat.

 

Took a nap. Amazingly, slept even though I had the long sleep yesterday.

 

Studied Spanish.

 

My Spanish lesson went well. It's hard, but private lessons are the way to go if you really want to learn a language.

 

Mom is doing well. We're squared away for Christmas.
