Poor D. He spent the entire weekend building and installing software on his new computer, and several more hours trying to get Windows to play nice with a conflicting program. Once it was up he celebrated by visiting one of his favorite sites and downloading wallpaper, and then spent some time playing the game. Monday morning he turned it on to find it completely corrupted by a virus and he had to start over ... it is still not up. If you guessed that he didn’t install the virus protection program first, you’d be right. Like I said, poor D.
He and I took off of work yesterday to drive to Tampa and have his car worked on. It is about to go out of warranty and one of the power windows failed. Normally this trip is pleasant, if a little boring, due to all the waiting. Yesterday was somewhat less, though that was mostly my fault, or rather the fault of the medication I’m taking. I’m feeling a little puny, as my grandmother would say. Nothing that can’t be easily ignored, but still rather ‘blech’. Given all the possible side effect listed on the antibiotic I’m really not surprised. I’m going to give it a couple more days, but if it persists I’ll be seeing if he can change the choice of drugs. I have to go back next week for some blood tests anyway – just the annual stuff (ie: cholesterol, glucose, etc.). Saturday I’ve got to go to a local lab for the biggies: sed rate, cardiac crp and three others that I can’t read (do they teach doctors to write illegibly?). Basically tests for infection, inflamation and possible heart problems (see Greenie, he’s being thorough- heh). I should have all the answers in two weeks, when I go back for a progress check.
Hopefully I’ll get it all under control (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) before the big road trip. I can’t believe we’re less than 30 days from driving to Wisconsin to visit D’s folks. I am suddenly feeling a little stressed about it as there are hundreds of little things to get done before then. Not to mention that we have no plans ... none. Not a single hotel reservation even, and being controlling a planner, that flips me out! But I’m trying to keep my anxiety to a minimum and think instead of all the neat places we hope to visit: House on the rock, Madison, The Dells, and more that he’s mentioned and I’ve forgotten. And, if we get our timing right, we’ll be stopping in Atlanta, GA to visit my brother (and if I’m very, very, lucky the Georgia Aquarium).
Till then, I’ll just try to control plan the things I can: pet care, plant care, hurricane prep, yard care, house cleaning, plus arrangements at work (two weeks is a long time) and a bazillion other things I’ve certainly forgotten. Best of all I’ve made arrangements to borrow a lap-top, and, providing I can find wireless access, I’ll be taking you all along for the ride.
