You’re being so diligent!

Der Prinz fixed the computer again. He said a connection was disconnected because of the children’s using the CD-ROM drive and the speakers, or something. Anyway, I’m functional again. The laptop is a nuisance!

DP has taken the older boys to a Boy Scouts bowling outing, so I think I’ll watch a movie and do some sewing, once the little boys go to bed. Hot in here - we’ve got the windows open!

LOL!

I just keep putting stuff off, and decided I needed to do something constructive while I’m sitting here. I can FReep and transcribe at the same time, since I don’t have to lose my place with either one.

When I start making mistakes on one or the other, it’s time to shut down the Big One.

I copied all the chapter titles, page numbers and chapter numbers and when I was almost done for the day, I realized the page numbers are going to differ greatly ~~ he did it with a typewriter, Pica type, and I think it was 10 characters to the inch. So the thing is 350 pages long. I suspect I can do it in 300 pages or less.

(What did I ever do before computers? I keep asking myself that. I wonder how I ever got anything done!)

It’s good that Der Prinz is such a geek. I have to fumble through my own stuff, then call the cable company if I’m having a Blonde Day. A movie and some sewing sounds great! What are you going to watch?
