Long Day

It has been a long day.

I’ve got some funky computer problem and it is hurting my brain. It also caused me to run back and forth between home and the office today to get things prepared for the board meeting. I thought I had all I needed and went to the office. Then I couldn’t print from my laptop because the printer didn’t have a USB port the the laptop didn’t have a serial port. I thought – no problem – I have the external harddrive from home – I’ll hook it into the office machine. Ooops… it doesn’t have the software. I was worn out by the time of the board meeting.

No one can seem to figure out the computer problem. I can do everything except upload/ftp large files. Large being anything that’s not tiny. If anyone has any ideas what the deal is, I’d certainly appreciate your input. The ISP is clueless. I’m clueless. I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve rebooted from unscrewing the cable for the wall on up to the machine. I’ve even changed out ethernet cables. Nothing solves the problem. An online search has not netted any answers either. So, please, share your techie wisdom with me.

In addition, I discovered tonight that my dishwasher doesn’t seem to want to work. So, I’ve got to deal with that.

On the upside, Matthew called tonight and we chatted for about three hours. We were talking about our past travels and thinking about future ones. It’s good to reconnect with him. I’ve also reconnected recently with Jim, who Matthew and I met in Guatemala. He lives on the west coast and we all met when we were sharing a van to the airport one morning to go hiking at Tikal. Jim and I later went on a trip through the South together. You know you’re good potential travel partners when you meet while you’re all boarding planes that aren’t licensed to fly internationally to go hike in the Guatemalan jungle.

Well, I need to get some sleep if I can. Sleep is rather elusive for me these days but I need some.
