Cordless Wireless Thoughtless Something
I want to get my wireless keyboard fully functioning in the ol’ Linux. This is apparently troublesome. Something about USB, blah-blah whatever. I got pretty close tonight, but I should really know better than to start futzing around with Linux stuff right before bedtime. When I’m supposed to be reading a paper anyway!
Today was pretty bonus, as Lewis would say. Got up early enough to do a little library research this morning from the comfort of my own desk. (Non-non-heinous side note, saw a rat jump out of our grape vine from own-desk-adjacent window… eech.) Got to campus with enough time to have lunch with my sweetie, then bust over to class. Class was pretty good, though it’s a little freaky learning syntax in a non-binary branching way. Lewis and I talked it over a bit this afternoon though, and I think the kids will be more into it this way. Hit up the co-op on our way home (I love you, co-op!) where we ran into our next door neighbor who very nicely offered to drive some of our copious groceries home. Managed to fit all our business in our own bike bags though, and came home with quite a bounty. I like the bi-weekly mondo shopping trip, even if it’s rather expensive. Takes a bit of money to feed two point five mouths, I guess.
Oo.. also called my grandmother – it’s her 75th birthday! Yay! Talked to her on the phone a bit, which was very nice. Don’t know why I don’t call my grandmother, but I suspect none of us grandkids do… she’s very lovable but with a gruff demeanor that sometimes makes you feel like she’s got nothing to say to you. That sounds more callous than I intend it, but these subtle family relations are hard to explain. I think my grandma is a little lonely, and very much used to being someone… inconsequential. She sounded so surprised that so many people would be calling her on her important birthday. Like a whistle-stop town getting a presidential visit. She’s very dear.
I’m not sure whose idea it was to put the cat box in the office (sadly, probably mine) but given the state of air quality in here at the moment, I think I had better go to bed instead of blathering on any longer. Yuck.
… the tags on this post are delightful.
