Late.

I got up much later than I wanted to... but I got a good ten hours of sleep, so I guess it was worth it.

Last night was not very busy, thankfully, because I got absolutely no sleep before I went in to work. However, I did manage to mess up the computer completely again... I essentially had to go through the whole routine this morning when I got home. Reloaded WIN98, then reloaded WIN98 Second Edition.

Lots of stuff having to do with tweaking the bios so's the damned machine will run. By the time I was done, I was incapable of writing the entry that I wanted to, having to do with the song Behind the Green Door and making eye contact with ladies turning corners while driving.

I am not really awake yet, either, so none of this may make any sense.

I was complimented on my "outfit" this morning as I was leaving work. I told the lady that it was entirely accidental, and that if she expected a sense of fashion consciousness from me that she would be very disappointed. My problem with fashion is that I don't really care... I don't mind if my clothes match or not, and this has constantly been a contentious factor between me and almost every significant lady in my life.

Diet... I did eat a candy bar last night, the first in many days. Yes, it was good... an Almond Joy, it was. I savored every bite. I had baked chicken and veggies for lunch, and I did not have my routine hot fudge sundae... I think that, for me, I'm doing very good on the diet. Which reminds me, I need to get a battery to put in the scales at home, so I can keep track of the fruits of my dietary labors.

And I did get several responses to my request for help... I do appreciate the effort that you took on that... a sincere "thanx!"

O'yeah, I finally got the email program set up and got the backlog off of my ISP's server... I'm on at least one too many mailing lists. 1200 messages, each of which I want to read but most likely won't. Except for the personal ones, natch...

OK, off to shower and work. More tomorrow...


Thanx for being here!
