Gleep! and the weekend so far

[mdlbear]

This time two weeks from now my little girl will have been someone's wife for about four hours. Gleep! I'm happy, proud, and all that, but I'm also feeling old.

There were a couple of times this morning where, if I had timed it right, I could have gone out for a walk and not gotten wet. I didn't. I did manage to go out to Office Max and Staples and get a box of printer paper, new ink cartridges for the HP inkjet, and a little rolling computer cart for the bedroom.

The printer cartridges didn't fix the problem. In fact, there appears to have been nothing wrong with the old ones. It's still sitting there with a flashing red exclamation mark and a little line on the LCD that keeps going round and round. I am a grumpy bear. I should know better: eventually everything HP makes just mysteriously stops working and turns into an inert pile of crap.

The computer cart is a win, though. It just fits on the short wall to the left of the bathroom door, which means that my chair will be right next to the bookshelves instead of pulled out into the room. And I'll be able to turn my head only 90 degrees to see Colleen. Win.

I still haven't worked out where I'm going to move the junk that was piled in that corner, or exactly where the rest of the recording gear is going. But it'll be a big improvement, and I'm not complaining.

I've also been woodworking with the Wolfling to build her a simple pine box for her to put kitchen gadgets in. Just butt joints and screws, but she wants a sort of rough look, and it'll match the big box of Penzey's spices that we gave her as a wedding present.

Two weeks! Gleep!

Bad time for several people, apparently. But at least you'll be there.
