Thursday, September 9, 2010. Ten days from now my little girl will be 25. Time sure flew by. In my head I am still her age. How does that happen? I must be losing my mind.
Today flew by. I had some more computer trouble today. The DSL line wouldn't let me fax anything out so I had to take the filters off. Then it worked, finally. What's the use of having a fax machine if you can't use it? So I made it work by figuring things out one step at a time.
The old computer froze up 3 times today. I have decided that every time it does that I will yell, "The computer froze up again!" Not only does that make me feel better, but it tells my husband that it froze up also. That way he can feel my frustration too and finally give in to the fact that we need to get a new computer. We will need a lap top for when we leave for the winter and will be at the mercy of places that have wi-fi. John's mom doesn't have a computer so there is no wi-fi, dial-up or anything. So we will need a laptop to go to the local cafe or library, etc. to be able to use it. This will only be from Jan. 4-April something.
I worked on the computer most of the day. I typed documents, invoices, etc. and e-mails. I made telephone calls, faxed documents and printed out brochures. I got a lot done.
Later I did some laundry, which is almost a daily occurrence around here. I hung some rugs out on the line and talked with someone who was throwing some hoops. Our basketball court is by the laundry line. He was waiting for John to get ready to kayak today again. They love kayaking.
John takes some time to get ready in the morning. His breakfast is a drawn out affair which usually takes over an hour. So the customers were in the lodge asking what time they should leave for the kayak outing, and another couple of customers were asking for directions to the Presque Isle River in the Porcupine Mtns. Park. John got all anxious because he tries so hard to please everyone and he just couldn't please them all at one time. So he started ordering me around. I went outside to help the kayak customers put the kayaks on the trailer. Then I came back in, and helped the other customers with the map. I didn't finish when John took over. Later he apologized for being so stressed. I think men have trouble multi-tasking.
When John took the group kayaking, I did some more paperwork, got the cleaning supplies in the minivan to clean the 2 cabins, got the cabins cleaned, and then mowed the lawn. The grass was pretty high and required two passes over some spots, so it took longer, but now it looks very nice.
When John got home, I drove into town to donate a hand-appliqued and embroidered bag I had made to the Lioness. They are having a Brazillian dance this weekend and needed raffle prizes. The bag took me about 5 hours to make so it definitely felt like a sacrifice to donate it. I hope somebody appreciates it.
After I dropped that off, I had to get some groceries. By this time I was dead on my feet. Needless to say that as soon as I got home I put the groceries away and then took a shower. I put on my lounge wear, or pajamas, early. If someone came into the lodge, the clothes would pass for comfortable clothing. I didn't care, I was too tired to care what I looked like. I watched some of the Vikings game and now after I do this blog, I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted. I think my pillow is calling.
