Just to give you an idea of why I seem so scatterbrained lately? (more so than usual,lol, I know there's some comments going thru some of your mind's out there, Sis and Mom:)
I realized last week when looking at my schedule that, after this weekend off, I won't have two consecutive days off together from work again until Aug.18.
I had great plans to try and Relax and Enjoy this weekend, ha ha, which seem to have been kicked in the head by the raging sore throat and fever I seem to be having. I suppose it's nice that I don't have to miss work by being sick? (lol, always looking for the silver lining:) but this wasn't really my ideal way to 'take it easy.'
Regardless of how I feel, Tony and I also planned to rage on housecleaning today (although we won't be posting a picture of our vacuum cleaner,lol, like Adam and Tracy.) I know....we really know how to live it up, don't we?
But, Kyle had come by the other night and picked up his bed and dresser out of April's room, and once he removed them, we want to get that room ready for the painting that we'll be doing down there, before we move the bed down from upstairs for her. (this painting, of course, will be in all that 'spare time' we have floating around:)
We also received word from the school about the first Fundraising opportunity for the Hawaii trip April will be taking with the choir in March. It will be...wait for it... the next weekend I have off,rofl. I can volunteer to go work a booth at the Fair
Click here: Rockingham County Fair
for 5 hours.Too funny...this is, naturally, exactly what I wanted to do after killing myself with work for the next few weeks. However, it will be a Huge start to the Fundraising effort, and I do want to see all of these kids in the band and the choir able to go. So, I shouldn't gripe....it will actually get me into the Fair for free, as far as I know, and we can always walk around the Fair afterwards:) as April and Tony will be volunteering that day,also. (note to self...must tell them that. LOL:)
Before I forget, wanted to pass on HUGE THANKS to my Uncle Don. I have a 'gap' in my computer knowledge,lol, in that I never really learned how to use word processing software or anything to do with Word documents,etc.
I needed to be able to print out a document for Tony, for something he's involved in, and ran into a glitch when I didn't have the same software as the person who sent us the document. So, I turned to Mom, who directed me to Uncle Don (thanks to Mom,too:) and he went above and beyond, in helping me figure out what to do next! Uncle Don, once again.....THANK YOU!
Well, this is all the latest in the 'watching paint dry' category:) Hope everyone has a great week!

Hi from Uncle Don. Let me get this straight. That word processing file came to Tony and you from the person who was previously doing the work. You found your software couldn't read it and the other guy's couldn't produce it an different format. So you called your mother, who couldn't help, and you gave her a hard time (kiddingly) about being a top adminstrative assistant and not knowing how to convert this document file. She referred you to me, probably just to get you off the phone after that. You emailed me the document. I figured out what format it was in. It was in an old MS Works format, but MS Word's converter for that format gleefully produced a beautiful page of garbage for me. I tried several other programs, all which thoughly enjoyed producing a page of garbage for me in several different formats. I called a friend of mine and explained the situation. He asked me to email it to him, so I did. He found that he had an old verson of MS Works on an old laptop. That laptop was one he traded up to from an even older laptop that I had given him several years ago (and my current PC is one I built from parts he and I combined from our various previous PCs and I am in the process of doing the same thing again to get myself a faster PC with more storage). So he pulled it up in the old version of MS Works, saved it in MS Word .doc format, and emailed it back to me. I opened it in MS Word, saved it in .rtf format so you would have 2 formats to try on your PC, and emailed both of them back to you and Tony. Finally, you tried opening it in your software (MS WordPad) and it worked! Yeah, sounds about right for you and the way your life goes. Glad I/we could help. Besides, I needed the entertainment.
ROFL. Glad I could provide entertainment, Don:)
