Costume

I got woken up this morning by the sound of ups beeping. Not the package delivery service, but the batteries that keep my computers from dropping dead when the power goes out. It was 0742 when I crawled my naked ass out of bed to pull on some pants and run downstairs to see if I could shut down all the computers before the ups gave out. I was just about to kill the first one when the power came back on. Great. I was up and coffee was ready so I decided I'd start my day.

Started checking my email and then moved on to surfing some porn. Got a little sidetracked looking at servers on ebay. Yeah I'm a geek, so what? Anyway, around 0830 or so the power goes out again. Great. I actually got all of the computers shut down before they killed the ups. Then I waited, and waited, and waited. Then Mud got up and wanted breakfast. She got cold cereal. She wanted oatmeal. It didn't happen. I ended up taking a shower and then we went out costume shopping for her. She ended up picking out a "Spider Countess" outfit, and a blond wig to go with it. I had to take her to buy some shoes to go with it also.






We got home finally and we had power so Mud tried to watch tv, but evidently the power outage broke the digital cable receiver, so it keeps trying and trying to start up but it has problems. All the stuff that I had recorded on the DVR is going to be gone also. Great.

Since she can't watch tv, Mud decided to play on her computer. Oops, it won't power on either. Just F*CK!NG lovely!! I ended up replacing her power supply with a spare I had in the garage.

And all of this after I formatted and reloaded my computer last night. What a crappy day! So I made a chocolate chip cheesecake tonight for a church picnic tomorrow.

Make a nice day.
