Over the past 24 hours I spent the better part of a good six hours reformatting my brothers’ computers. Of course, the reformat wasn’t the hard part. Oh no, the hard part was getting obsolete wireless network adapters (the Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter and the Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter, to be exact) to play nicely with Windows 7. It took a lot of trial and error, several software packages and drivers, but I finally got everything working. Whew! Now I just need to drag the tower back to my mom’s house, hook it up, connect the printer, find drivers for it, since it’s also obsolete, and then test the color printing. I have an article on baby shower favors that I can use in a test print, since it has both black text and colored headers.
Now it’s going on 1:30am, and I feel like crying because I have to be back up by 7:30am. If being tired weren’t bad enough, I know I’m going to be in pain, because I just started my period a few hours ago. Fun fun.
But it’ll be a good, busy, and productive day. I’m dropping the kids off at VBS, then heading over to McDonald’s for breakfast and to meet up with my mom (we’re going to make plans for a BBQ we’re having on Thursday evening). Then I’m meeting my brother-in-law’s girlfriend for lunch at Panera Bread, and then there’s Thursday evening’s BBQ that I mentioned.
Friday and Saturday are going to be equally busy. It’s good to be doing stuff, but in some ways I hate being so busy all of the time!
