Today has been weird. Nothing terribly weird has happened, but the day has just felt “off” somehow. I’m going to blame it on the crazy solar storm blasting the earth right now. I’m also blaming the System Busy I keep getting on my cellphone on that as well, because I can’t find any other excuse for it.
Haven’t gotten motivated about anything today, except for continuing to organize the crud on my computer and burning CDs. I guess that’s a good thing though. It needs to be done from time to time. Funny how when I was using a computer that could eat everything on my hard drive at any moment, I barely did backups at all, and now that I am on a computer that likely won’t eat all my stuff without warning, I am crazy about doing backups. Maybe it’s because it’s so quick and easy to burn CDs. Going to buy some DVDs soon too, so I can backup my iTunes and iPhoto directories.
One of these days, I need to get motivated to finish cleaning the crud off my old computer and saving whatever I want. It’s been months since I even turned the thing on. Really, I can’t believe I used to use that thing every day. It’s a nightmare of a machine.
Oh, and I sort of started feeling the Xmas spirit a little today. Not much, but a bit. Mostly I have too many other non-holiday related things on my mind right now, and they are stressing me out completely. Nothing I want to talk about though. Sorry. ;)
I suppose I ought to start considering what to make for dinner. I have some leftover spaghetti sauce in the fridge that needs to be used soon, so that looks like the best option, since I can’t get in the mood to do any real cooking tonight. I’m not going to blame that on the solar storm. Nope, that’s being caused by a combination of being tired and the fact the weather has flip-flopped back from freezing to HOT again. I’d wanted to broil steaks tonight, but I don’t want to go through the hassle of opening a bunch of double windows to try to keep the house from becoming as hot as the broiler, and no way am I turning on the AC in December.
OK, have I babbled mindlessly enough yet? Probably. Going to take my cranky self to the kitchen, and then hopefully there will be something worth watching on the TV. If not, I guess it’ll be a night of digital scrapbooking. I’m feeling the urge. :biggrin:
One last thing: I asked Mom what she wanted for Xmas today, and she said “nothing.” I hate that. We always exchange things we really need or can use, and if she isn’t going to help me out by giving me some clues, I have no idea what to get her. Though I have had some ideas for a few of the other relatives, which is a very good thing considering how late in the game it is getting.
