I finally called Time Warner Cable about getting their "Road Runner" broadband service. I'm scheduled to get things installed on the 16th. Then I can be more leisurely about writing and reading things online. I can also use all the various online services that I want, because at work they do some strange filtering of web sites. I should really save various online things for home anyhow, such as reading my news aggregator.
Helen went to the bank today, and was able to get a small reprieve from them ($200), and they said they would be able to get a copy of the check to find out what happened with it. At least that way we will know whose fault it really is. Sigh. Then I have to figure out what checks and automatic withdrawls blew up, and how much I owe everybody. Then I can push all this back on the responsible party and get everything straightened out.
Here in Houston, Michael was able to get that desk/table that he was talking about. It'll be worth the $50. Now I have a table to eat dinner at! Wee-ha! It immediately organizes the space so much. Eating at that teenie little desk in the bedroom always left such a mess. Now I think I really need actual real plates. I been doing pretty well with cooking for myself. Shopping for an entire week on one trip that I can carry the eight blocks has been a challenge. I continue to eat out on occasion, because sometimes I just forget to prepare a lunch for the next day. I think that there is some proper balance between making dinner and making lunch for the next day every evening that I haven't quite discovered. It is hard to plan too many days ahead to make that work out every day.
I've been composing a bit more these days, now that I have easy access to a guitar. A few new interesting directions, a few new innovations. The guitar itself is a bit smaller than my classical back in MA, so I have to adjust a bit because of that.
