We have technology

I would be remiss if I did not mention that Nice Husband himself was responsible for identifying our computer problem, implementing the interim solution which allowed me to make my previous post, and finding a solution that allowed us to return to an enhanced version of our previous internet set up.

I guess those masters degrees in telecommunications and MIS really came in handy. I was getting worried for a minute.

Anyway that was for those of you who may have mistakenly been misled that I would fix the computer problem.

Let’s do a Thanks God because I am in a stank mood because my foot is killing me and I can’t go outside in this beautiful weather.

1. I am 100% alone for the first time in like twenty days. I was about to lose my everliving mind. I need to be alone from time to time. Not all the time, but it is essential to me as a human being to be around silence and not be around other people for a few hours each WEEK. I don’t think that is unreasonable, and I don’t think wanting to be alone a few times a month makes me a bad muslim. Whatevers.

2. Being alone means I get to pick both the channel on the television and how loud I want to watch it.

3. Sheep make me happy. I am still digging myself out of my ten-day technology hole but when I get there I will upload pictures of my new friends.

4. I had a great weekend last weekend. We went to Angers and had a cookout with my husband’s friend and his family. It was nice just doing something normal like a cookout and being around interesting people.

5. I do not miss my old job for a second. Not even half a second. The short commute has changed my life dramatically.

6. Speaking of which I bit the bullet and went back to contacts. The plan right now is to alternate between glasses and contacts. I go through contacts phases every few years.

7. There was a bee in here about to drive me crazy and it just flew out the window. It’s the little things in life.

8. I think I found a new sunscreen. I was using Clarins. I don’t mind paying top dollar for stuff that works, and the Clarins works, but I got a sample tube of Avene SPF 50+ and wore it to the cookout. Considering I did not reapply, I am pretty impressed to have held up several hours with only a little redness on my nose and my cheeks and backs of my hands. The Avene is also 1/3 the price.
So I think I am going to finish up my Clarins and switch. It is quite odd that I spent years looking for a sunscreen and wound up just staying inside for a few years and now, within a few years of each other that actually work. Before either my skin would freak out or the sunscreen would just slop off and I would burn immediately like I had none on. These two stay on and don’t hurt my skin.

9. I have mad skeelz. Just saying. One day people will recognize. It has taken a lot of time for me to make peace with the fact that while an average citizen, I do have an unexpected life.

10. Finally, another reason I like the new job is because I am speaking more French. So much so that I had a hard time thinking of the right words in English for this post. Thrilling.
