Up at 7, out of bed in a few minutes, played on the computer a little and did my usual ad hoc filling of the lunch box. Was at work at about 9, I think.
There was a lot of work to do, this project I'm on. My weekly report took an hour to write.
Lunchtime the plan was to go to Starbucks and install the VPN software. There was no parking at the first one, but plenty of parking and seating at the big one a couple of miles down El Camino.
Tried the orange-mango smoothie. Not bad, but not good enough to try again.
The VPN software did not work on my laptop. I was on wi-fi, it was expecting me to be hard-wired. And when I rebooted, just in case that was the issue, it showed me two login icons, identical. That ate up half an hour as I tried everything reasonable to get it working. I may call support on Monday for ideas. Most of us have laptops as our company PCs, it has to be something they have seen before.
Safeway after work, because they have better produce than Lucky's. And better Klondike bar flavors.
picked up lactose-free chocolate milk, which will make making egg creams real simple. And some regular lactose-free milk. And half a gallon of egg nog. Wanted a pumpkin pie, but the ones they were selling were way too big.
Home, installed Quicken 2014, but it didn't work with my check printer program and Quicken *still* hasn't come up with a check printing widget which lets you build your own background design. So I uninstalled it and re-installed 2013. Check Designer will eventually update their program, maybe in 3-4 months.
Plans for tomorrow:
Morning - visit the movers' and maybe pick up some picture boxes and something for the glass tumblers and coffee cups. And maybe a roll of packing paper. Maybe.
1 pm Sunnyvale Library is holding a class on low-water-usage plants which grow well in this climate, taught by master gardeners. I'll also return the Fragile Things CD set and donate a bunch of books to the friends of the library drop-off.
