the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Okay, I am now officially weary of the plague. Also, out of Kleenex. #
• Had thought maybe I could go in to work today. However, upon limping out of bed, still feel like death on toast. Argh. #
• Just read an article which used this spelling: preëminent. Technically correct trema usage, I suppose, but still pretentious as all git-out. #
• Never got contacted about an SNP ticket. Guess I’m not getting one. :( #

• On my third pot of mint tea w/honey today. Soon, I shall turn green from it all. #
• @jacklund Probably all licensing issues. Think of it as an excuse to catch up on all the classics you always meant to watch! #
• Ow. Sinuses making every part of my head hurt. Sudafed, why have you forsaken me? #
• @denizenofchaos Haha. It’s the price we pay for being cool kids! #
• @sanityknit Enjoy it while it lasts :) #

• @sanityknit Wow. Yeah. That’s … weird? I hope it’s just perspective or something :-) #
• I think I’m coming down with something. Wonderful. #
• Ugh. Have definitely come down with something. So much for my only one personal weekend day to myself this weekend being relaxing. #
• Making matzoh ball soup and feeling generally sorry for myself. At least it’s an excuse to break out the TNG S1 disks I got recently. #

• It took me 40 minutes to drive 15 miles. Pea soup fog. Missed an exit in the fogbank. Still getting passed by idiots doing 60, natch. #
• @sanityknit Took it to auto parts store – they have a diagnostic thingie. Fuel mix running lean. Not critical, just wasteful. Yay? #
• Also, unexpected extra evening in P-Town. Fambly elected that I should not drive in this goo. I didn’t really protest. T-storms tmrw tho. #
• Also, should note that after spending 75 mins clearing half of driveway, 50*F temps melted the rest of it. My heart was in the right place. #
• @robotviki Have a great trip! Accost lots of Deutschlanders! Drink bier! Sehen cool stuff! Enjoy being !here! #
• Crap!! I just realized I have like 6 days left to finish that afghan I wanted to finish crocheting by the end of the year!!! #
• Dude. Totally just checked the weather for the trip back tomorrow. It’s gonna be like 6 hours of dense fog, rain, gusting winds. W/cat. :( #
• About 4 hours left until I blow this taco stand. Breakfast, yarn hunting, cat setup and retrieval operations… then the fun begins. #
• Home! Missed nearly all of the bad weather, too. Though that didn’t stop me from constantly watching the horizon for funnel clouds. #
• @sanityknit Yeah, but in the end, you’ll have WAY better bragging rights than those of us who have only knit sweaters in super-bulky… #

• Argh. You know you’re in the sticks when…all the damn mechanics for 50 miles are closed the day /after/ the holiday. Even the dealer! #
• Also, you know you’re in the sticks when the idea of driving 50 miles to the mechanic’s is not an unreasonable one. #
• @smokes70 Oh my God, THANK YOU. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. #
• @chowbok Haha, brilliant. Is it actually for real? I can’t tell, it’s so improbable yet, I mean, people are pretty dumb sometimes… #
• Still no SNP ticket. :( :( :( :( :( #
• I hate Comcast’s support site. It’s all so whizbang you can’t open pages in new tabs or use back/fwd buttons effectively. Web design jerks! #
• Also, Dear Windows Mail: “Error Number 0x800CCC92″ is not, personally, what I would consider a particularly useful message to the user. FYI. #
• Does anyone have a more Grandma-friendly email GUI client suggestion than Vista Windows Mail, which makes me regret being born? #
• VISTA WONT INSTALL HOTFIXES IT JUST TELLS ME ‘FAILED’ SERIOUSLY GOING TO START TAKING HOSTAGES ANY MINUTE NOW #
• @shadow Haven’t tried it actually… Might give it a shot. Can’t possibly be /worse/, can it? #
• And okay, seriously, in the annals of bad errors, “An unknown error has occurred” is right up there on the WORST EVER list. #
• @shadow THUNDERBIRD CAN SEND EMAIL OMG OMG OMG YAY! #
• Windows Firewall blocking Windows Updates which kept Windows Mail from working. Nice interdepartmental communications there, guys. #
• omg. Just cleared ice/slush/goo off 2/3 of a double-wide driveway. So tired now. Someone bring me coffee and a donut; I’m too weak to move. #
• @sanityknit I don’t know… check engine light came back on. Suspect they did not actually fix the problem last time. :( #
• @jacklund Their features make me stabby. Also their errors. And really, their software in general. #
• Also, next time someone mocks me for using a Mac I’m just going to say, “Unexpected error 8007002E.” #
