I almost did it. I almost forgot to write an entry today. Mostly because I'm tired of this computer, and I want to go to bed.

Come to think of it, that's what I did yesterday... wrote my entry, then went to bed. Slept until about 20:00, missing Andy's birthday party. Karen came home about 22:00 with Patrick, he was crying because Garyn had hit him in the back with a stick. Made a pretty good hole there, too. Karen patched him up and he went to sleep. And so did I.

And I woke up about 10:00 this morning, read a little of the paper and drank a pot of coffee... then I started doing the checkbook. As I had mentioned earlier, my backup file was corrupted. I had thought that the data that I got from the disk that I installed in Eileene's machine was newer, but I was wrong. So I had to enter everything from about the 15th of February on... little scraps of paper that I've kept, receipts, etc... a real pain in the ass, it was.

And then, I can't find the bank statement for April. So... the only thing that I could do was... go back to bed. But I only slept for about an hour, Karen woke me up with supper.

Then Andy and Karla came over with Drew; I'm going to have to get a more up-to-date picture of Drew, he's really cute. ALL of my grandkids are cute, though, why should he be an exception?

Then Karen and I went out for ice cream. Went to the DQ first, but they closed their inside store at 21:00 for some dumb reason, so we said the hell with that and went to Baskin-Robbins. Hot fudge sundaes, double-scoop. MMMM-mmmm good!

I really hate using the computer to do real work on, stuff like the checkbook and taxes. Computers are supposed to be playthings when they're at home!
