I think I'll take today off

Yesterday was one of those days I've expected. Not looked forward to. Just expected.
Everything didn't go wrong. Just most of them. Switched to Comcast from AT &T for the Internet. Started out OK. Radio Shack had a special on the modem. $20 Radio Shack rebate and $80 rebate from Comcast so I made $20 on the modem plus got a $50 Radio Shack gift certificate. Pretty good so far, huh?

Well being the electronics whiz that I think I am I opted for the self-installation. Figured I save on the service call for professional installation. First mistake....of the day. That didn't work out too good so I ended up having Comcast coming out anyway. They straighted out the Internet and the modem problem and it took the rest of the day to straighten out my computers browswer and it isn't totally straighted out yet.

Basia told me the car was leaking radiator coolant. She used Stop-Leak before and it worked so using 3 bottles must be 3 times better. Not the way it works. She has the same automotive philosophy about motor oil. If filling it to the full line is good, filling it 2 inches past the line must be twice as good. Luckily I discovered that before she had problems with that too.

Had the bright idea to rearrange the furniture, wash all the floors and clean the extra bedroom that I use for storage because I don't have a basement or a garage to mess up.

Well, my back is killing me now. After crawling under the car, lifting heavy boxes, bending over to wring out the mop, moving the desk and disconecting all the wires for the computer I feel like I just had quadruplets. I don't really know how that feels but I bet it tingles a little bit.

Feel like getting high and drunk but have to settle for Naproxen and Ibuprofen.

Reading and writing keeps my mind off of it for a little while. I figured praying would help but that makes me concentrate on it even more.

Maybe Gods just giving this to me as as reminder that I'm not a kid anymore. Just like he did with the chili. Cool it off before you just gulp it down.

I missed my Bible class yesterday because of the computer guy and a meeting last night because I was dying and couldn't move off the couch.

Todays a little better but its still early yet. I can get into more trouble before noon than most people can get into all day.
