Reason 403 why I want to move northwestern - I'm allergic to evergreens, near as I can tell. Luckily mom's place comes stocked with a lot of antihistamines. They make me sleepy though, so can only take at night.
So I bought mom a router, so that more than one person could be working at once at her place. I figure she can advertise it as a feature of the bed and breakfast - free wireless internet. It'll be my birthday present for her when she comes back - that and the cleaning.
When did I become a neat freak? Dirt now makes me restless. Clutter less so in that it adds up for days before getting purged, but I just can't take dirt and dust and such. I find myself wondering a bit that the Noph has way fewer chores and cleaning activities in his day to day existance than we did when we were kids. Maybe because mom was working? I don't know.
Anyway, working from here has been a trial. The satellite seems to do compression, but even at compression the download speed is only about 740kbps, and uploads 130kbps. Click. Wait. Daydream. Click. Shift impatiently. Click. How spoiled I am by my broadband at home.
At least I've accomplished things for work. The past couple of days without interesting distractions and I got three good drafts of documentation out. The last one the happiest - meeting to discuss my deliverables had no objections from the two people's opinions I cared about.
Pepsi Max is weird. But not as bad tasting as other diet drinks. Must pack up now, get the Noph off to dinner and opera practice.
