kodalaiMy day got off to an iffy start, when I woke up to find that all my roommates had spontaneously taken the day off. I'd counted on having the house to myself today so that I could dissassemble my new computer. (I'm building a new computer from parts, but the motherboard I got is shot, so we have to get a new one.) Fortunately (or unfortunately,) they took off soon to go to the beach. Without inviting me. I didn't actually WANT to go to the beach, but they could have asked. :\
On the up side, since the house was quiet and deserted, I got the computer taken apart without incident, the motherboard back in the box, and everything else sealed in the case so that the cats couldn't get it. I also went to take my shelves apart so that there would be room to put the computer box once it was all put together. Chrestomanci helped by investigating everything, playing with cables, and getting underfoot until I kicked him out.
Taking apart the computer took longer than I expected, so the rest of the day was spent: cleaning, gardening, and setting up my new printer (the old one having been shot for a while now.) Despite a period of stress and swearing, it's finally set up and works wirelessly, including scanning. That was the important part, since I wanted to scan in all my old documentation so that I don't have to deal with hard copies any more.
Then I sat around and ate ice cream and read a Dorothy Sayers mystery. Now it is time for raids.
Things not done today: Writing.
