Friday

It was cool and overcast Friday morning. It had rained overnight but stopped by the time the alarm went off.  So, I drove to work in yet another gloomy, dreary day.

I was downloading a couple of security patches when the power went out in our building. It came back up in a couple of minutes, but my computer wouldn’t start.

The tech checked it out and said the hard drive had bad sectors from the abrupt shutdown while downloading. So, they gave me a laptop to use while they tried to repair it.

I sat there and twiddled my thumbs when not using the stupid laptop while they tried to repair my hard drive (which they pulled from the case…)

I finally got the computer back and up running at 2:00 p.m.

I finished out the day and then headed home. It was raining by then.

Once home, I ran through the routine. I then went on the computer to make out this weekend’s ToDo list, shopping lists and so on. I played the Bob Seger “Face the Promise” album while I worked.

I ate the last (thank God) of the brats and sauerkraut for dinner, then took the rest of the night off.
