Happy that tonight is my Friday. It will be nice to have two days off again after only having one day off each week for the last two weeks. I'll probably head to my real dad's house after work tomorrow. I'll plan to bring my tennis racquets with me. If we do hit, it will be only the second time I've hit in 4 years. There was a time when I was obsessed with playing tennis.

I could have the same amount of food at Uncle Giuseppe’s at indescribably higher quality than Taco Bell and two 16.9 ounce bottles of Poland Spring water for the price of Taco Bell.

Each of those bottles of Poland Spring water is about the price of a jumbo soda.

Who remembers our favorite Sith Lord?

Well, the actor, Jake Lloyd got into some trouble last year. He’s doing much better but is struggling with schizophrenia.

I think I’m coming down with another cold. I never get flu shots so maybe I should start getting one. I think the little bit of bike riding I do at night and morning isn’t helping along with my use of public transportation. If I had Airborne, I think this morning would have been a good time to take it.

I got the flu type A right now.. no clue where from. Thank goodness for Tamaflu and 100mg edibles.

Are you saying the new keyboard/mouse combo wont work, is it a wireless/bluetooth one? Is it just not recognizing and installing the keyboard so it wont let you type your password to log in?

I've been checking my scores on Credit Karma everyday. I mentioned applying and getting approved for three credit cards back in September. While my available credit increased by $26,000, my TransUnion and Equifax scores took about 30-point hits. Well finally my TU score jumped back up 25 points so while it's not as high as it was, I'm close.

Yes water unless it is a specified waterproof keyboard is the worst way to clean any computer component or accessory. Cans of compressed air and a brush is how to clean computer related items, also avoid using vacuums.

In any case the logitech brand is better than acer imo, unless you hate the style of course. That is a more budget minded combo kit so it is pretty basic.

6:23am. At dad’s house still in bed. Went to bed around 7:30am as I had been up for almost 24 hours except for a little nap after work yesterday. Anyway, I’m hoping daylight comes soon or I can fa back asleep. At one point, I woke up and it was 1:55am. Not sure how much more sleep I got between then and now.

Folks, you can hop a train to go somewhere if necessary. But you cannot, under any circumstances, hop a jet. Not restroom nor landing gear.
