listersgirlYou know what I hate? Computers!
That's not entirely true: what I hate is how everything with computers becomes so entirely complicated around me. I'm trying to secure my wireless network (yes, FINALLY. yes, I'm an idiot), and it's just not working at all. This is why I kept putting it off! I would look at "secure wireless" on my to-do list, and a shiver of dread would go through me, because I just KNEW it was going to be frustrating and complicated and not go right and make me cry. And look, prophecy come true! Right, back to ignoring it.
In the "good things" column, the beeping has gone away for good - it was back on Thursday night, so I called building management on Friday morning, about that and my non-draining bathtub. And I don't know if they did anything, or if they now think I'm crazy, but there is no more beeping. AND my bathtub drains again. Hooray!
Next up: convincing myself to get dressed and go buy groceries. Self, I realize it's snowing, but the groceries aren't just going to magically appear at your door. Don't you want food for breakfast tomorrow?
...wow, I'm really unconvincing.
Maybe I'll just convince myself to have a cup of tea and read a book instead. Something tells me I'll have better success at that.
