Things have been hectic, and look more hectic for next week.

I just had a minor “heart attack” (not a real one) when I got both my computers connected to the hub for Internet use, turned them on… and could not get to Ubuntu.  After several tries, I booted to Windows, which was successful; after making sure I had an Internet connexion, I rebooted to Ubuntu and IT WORKED!  (Deep sigh of relief, mopping brow, thanking all the gods of electricity and photons — Hermes, right?).

I have several assignments to do for Eternal Press, hope I remember what they all are.  BTW, our May E-zine is out, write me if you want me to email you a copy.

This week is going to be a challenge.  In addition to all my work for EP, I have a meeting with my boss at EP (online) to get a new assignment (assigning all ISBNs for our books) on Monday; Tuesday is both Election Day and the meeting of the Asheville-Buncombe Coalition for the Homeless (service providers meeting); Wednesday I meet my new Physical Terrorist and have to establish a schedule with them; Thursday is AHN and I need to get some bus passes (hope I have the money for that); and Friday I start my new job, volunteering Friday afternoons at Habitat (for Humanity) Home Store — they have asked me to work on bicycles for them.

I am just now de-stressing from my computer not working.  Maybe I should have waited an hour or two — but while all that was happening, my old ex-neighbor John was visiting, and was trying to help… and then left before I was done.  Two points of stress – one, he wanted to play with GRUB to get my computer working (which turned out to not be necessary); and two, he left before it was finished, leaving me to have to say goodbye and deal with my computer messing up at the same time.

Ah well.  I’m still breathing, my pulse is slowing, and I’m caught up on everything for now except my EP work.

Hugs,
Me
