I Did It to Myself

Spent the morning driving my blind ham friend and his teenage helper to his job site at the rest areas near Plainfield. When I got home, I had major grocery shopping to do. (Haven't had much in the house for weeks...and since the grandchildren are coming this weekend, I needed to get some things.) I spent $65 at Aldi's. Got a lot there, but can never get everything I want...so the next trip was to Walmart. (Meijer is probably cheaper but farther away.) Over $100 later, I came home. Had to buy some things for the children to wear while here, etc. Thus, the laundry isn't done; the house isn't dusted or vacuumed; but we will eat!

The power blinked out during the night. I only knew it because I woke up when the 2-meter radio beeped back on. Thankfully, only the microwave now blinks after a power failure.

My Internet isn't working well at all. Don't know what the problem is. It seems to be weather-related. I've rebooted everything that I can reboot. Maybe tomorrow will be better. For today, it is frustrating!
