Dunno Why...
Mar. 5th, 2008 03:52 am...I just haven't really felt like posting lately, even though I have things to write about. =P
First, the weather. We've had more snow this year than I can remember us having in a very long time...and it's only March. Seriously. The big snow mentioned in my last entry was the start...then we got another big one about a week later. Like, the majority of the previous snow had been gone for maybe a day or two when it snowed again. Then we've had two small snows since then. Hell, it was snowing as I drove to work today. >_>
And remember how I had to buy a new monitor a little while back? Well, not long ago, I ended up having to rebuild my machine pretty much from the ground up. It just...stopped. Dropped dead, basically. Dad looked it over, and said that everything (or very nearly) had to go. So, I bought parts...everything except a DVD-RW drive, since mine was still new. Thankfully, my hard drive didn't fail, though I did end up buying a new one, anyway. (When Dad was picking up my parts, he called me at work and asked if I wanted a new 500 GB hard drive, to go along with the new box. I said hell yes. =D) So, while it was kind of annoying to have the sudden expense, it worked out well enough. I didn't lose any data, and pretty much everything got significantly upgraded. I even got a new case (with USB and SD card readers in the front - my old case only had USB in the back...that tells you how old it was. =P) And my box is now sitting on my desk, rather than in that little cubby it was in before...so much easier to reach things.
And I actually got to see Jason on Saturday~! God, I can't even remember the last time we got to just sit and talk. And it was even warm enough for us to sit out on my porch. ^^ It was really nice...I wish he could have stayed longer. I don't get to see nearly enough of him anymore. But that's a whole 'nother entry. =P
On a less pleasant note, my brother's sick...he's been feeling bad for several days, and he just got to the doctor recently. Well, they called today...the results of his bloodwork came back. He has mono. (EDIT: And mumps. Yes. Both. Oh, my God...>_<) I feel so bad for him...that's going to suck so much. Mom says it's pretty much only spread through bodily fluids (saliva and such), so as long as we don't eat or drink after him, we should be okay. Still...I'll probably be paranoid about it for a while...I do not want to get this. >_<
And since Mom has to go to some dispatching class from Tues-Thurs this week (she won't get back until after I'm at work), I'll hardly get to see her for a while. She said we could get coffee on Friday, which will be nice, but still...Richie's sick and sleeping a lot, Mom'll be gone, and Dad always works during the day. I almost feel like I'm living alone...I don't like it. =P
...Geez, it's almost 4:00 already. I need to get to bed. Bleh.
