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!

Two weeks?

Oh, hell.

I'm having major oral surgery in two weeks, and may be adjusting to brand new dentures. I'll try to be there, but may not be overly social.

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

Wish we could attend the wedding as well. But since we're 3,000 miles away or so, I don't think we will be able to make it.

The phone call the other day from her was heart warming. I'm happy for all of you.

As for feeling old, remember your oldest child is only one month older than our oldest child. So now I'm feeling old as well, thanks a lot! LOL

(I would have to agree about the HP stuff always ending up not working. In the last 12 years we have had 13 computers in our family. Desktops as well as laptops, and the only two that really have not done well, were the two HP computers, both of them were desktops. The one HP laptop we have now is the teenagers and he's not to happy with it.)

Congratulations on feeling old. Seriously. It's better than the alternative, isn't it?

Most days.

Wow how exciting, sorry we're too far away, but send warm congratulations and happy thoughts to the Wolfling her DH, and to the rest of the family! :)
