Jan. 14th, 2005 01:16 amTuesday at work my neck hurt all day. Sometimes that happens.
Wednesday I was kind of in a bad mood simply because I woke up earlier than I planned. Not anyone's fault mind you, but I felt tired and irritable. But my neck didn't hurt.
Today I wasn't really in the mood to get up early (hey, 11 am is early!) but I'd promised to do so. I crawled out of bed and plopped down in front of my computer, figuring or at least hoping I had some time to read and then maybe take a shower... but the doorbell rang almost immediately. So for the second day in a row I had friends at the door before I'd showered or dressed for the day (not that I answered the door naked mind you).
Anyway Gene dropped Mike off and he started on the kitchen while I showered. The kitchen wasn't really that bad, but Mike put the few dishes left out into the dishwasher, cleaned the countertops and stove top, swept and mopped the floor, etc. It looks much better now. Then while I sorted through our pile of mail (Tom and I have a tendency to just throw mail onto the extra couch and let it accumulate) and did some straightening up of the living room, Mike did the bulk of the work of consolidating all of Tom's stuff that we didn't know what to do with into a single corner of the kitchen.
Tom and I still have a few things to straighten up, but mostly it's dusting and vacuuming left now. And I need to clean out the refrigerator a little and go buy pop/drinks. And I have a bunch of stuff in the back of my car to take to Goodwill or whoever will take it.
But basically... I was in a really good mood today. Not because I got enough sleep, but simply because the house was mostly clean and my computer was working. ^_^
I have wonderful friends. ^_^ Thanks to Mike and Gene, and to Kristin and Charles even though they didn't get the chance to help out.
Oh, another thing... Mike suggested I go to the MSI website and download their MSI Live Update program, and with this installed it was a snap to download and install the correct audio drivers, and my computer sound problem was fixed just like that. Funny how the so-called expert on the MSI message board didn't think to suggest this to me, since it's MSI's own program. ^_^
