What significant things have I done today?

[Alpaca]

Whole-family cell phone switcheroo.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

May I inquire in the new and old provider? Simple curiosity.

[Aggie]

Finished off the groundwater monitoring.  Am liable to catch hell for same, due to the hours involved, but I a'in't staying up here all bloody weekend for 3 hrs of work (would also take 3 hrs of driving to accomplish same - we killed it off NOW).

T-Mobile before and after.

I went ahead and got a new phone for the "Hotspot @ Home" thing, which will actually run on any WiFi network you have access to, not just the one at home. Convenient since all of my college campus will be covered with WiFi, which means I won't use any plan minutes, ever. (Kinda funny since we have the minimum family plan, and we've never come remotely close to using the allotted minutes anyway.)

So it was putting my SIM into the new phone, my mother's SIM into my old phone, and then getting them to unlock the oldest phone so we can use it with any sketchy SIM we choose (useful for trips to Poland, e.g.). The hard part was getting the phone into our home network (security paranoia on our end + standard terrible phone interface).

Bought outfit for son's wedding. I now have two choices as I already had a sort of jumbled together dirt cheapo potential outfit which I had doubts about on suitability terms - hence visit to local shop for something suitable - but which I really like. Rather two choices than none, but having difficulty deciding which to go with.

[Sibling Chatty]

Realized that I slept all day Tuesday and decided to try acting semi-human. Got away with it, too.

I spent Monday night in the ER/A&E with intractable pain that just wouldn't quit. And the 'doctor' was an ass...once I proved to NOT be having a heart attack, he just wasn't concerned. Over 4 hours in pain before ANY meds, and he starts with acetominophin. (What does "I have some bad liver issues" mean?? No freakin' Tylenol, sport...)

But, today, the newspaper article in the Burleson County Tribune (with lousy picture) came out. LAST week, there was a good picture on the front page, but no story...(They're not on line. I wish they were...dere's sum skeery lookin peepuls aroun' here, an not just me!)

Enneh-wey...I'm in charge of fund-raising for Zebra House Houston, and aiding in fund-raising for Zebra House Louisiana. now, if I can just get this trip to Louisiana on the road...

[Aggie]

Finished 80 hours of overtime in 8 days.  That's not counting regular weekly hours, mind.

[Darlica]

You better slow down a bit dear, that is not good for your health.  *worried*

I finally finished the digging and planting in the town garden. Now all I have to do is watering and some pruning. Yay!

[Alpaca]

Got computer back from repair. Was glad to find that hardware replacement did not then lead to mucking around my account - they only made sure it worked, and left it.

Nice to trust people sometimes.

[Darlica]

Went to the civil naming ceremony for a friends daughter and the party afterwards.

It was a very nice ceremony, still solemn and beautiful but without the talk about god and everything that comes in that package.

I'm thinking about making the office put formal work-hour limits on me, since I obviously don't have the sense to set them myself (long story - mostly we were putting in long days to make up for bad advice and poor equipment booking by other people - the phrase "set up for failure" isn't the right one, but it's the one that comes to mind).  I'd rather spend another 3 hours on site to get finished than drive 1.5 hours each way the next day, put my rig on standby, and/or extend the trip by another day.  We planned to leave Thursday and return the following Thursday, which WOULD have worked if the line locates for the first site had been completed as we were told, and if we had more than a ride-on lawnmower to drill with; as it was, we got back on Friday.  If we had worked 'reasonable' hours, we would still be up there and likely worked through the whole weekend, PLUS some of the days would have been short (8 hrs or less).  If I'm stuck away from home, I want to work at least 12 hours a day to make it worthwhile.  17 is a bit much, though, 'specially when I am busy with other affairs so that I only get 2 - 4 hours of sleep for a few of the nights running.

I heartily recommend ginseng and B-vitamins for fatigue support - only had one really burned out day, and got enough sleep the following night.

Got the car radiator replaced. Made a warning light happy.

Or Glucose tablets...

Managed to stay awake; result : feeling terrible. Will it mean I sleep tonight? Probably not.

(I'm trying to experiment in case there's a pattern of life I haven't yet discovered that might work for me......... )

Andy Murray helped by spinning centre court out to 5 sets with nail biting excitement. Don't usually watch much Wimbledon because I can never identify which player is which even with my glasses on, but the French guy was helpful and wore a cap.

..... but the French guy was helpful and wore a cap.

Well, you know those French....always the epitome of fashion...

Got the CT scan done-- was a very good patient-- stayed absolutely still for the entire 3 minutes (yes it is difficult for me to go 3 mins without doing something). Good visit-- my appt was for 3pm, I got there at 2:15, was done and out by 2:45-- must have had a no show!
