A stretch of days with ups and downs to impact my usual busy schedule. I have a situation with my sister that includes me spending at least a week, more likely twelve days in Houston to help with her post-rehab after surgery for a broken leg. That means scrambling to get a number of things either taken care of before I leave or figure a way to handle while gone.

On the “really, why now?”, front my high-speed printer went crazy and it wasn’t very old. Decided to swap from HP to Cannon and that’s all fine and good except after install, it isn’t working properly. No doubt some weird little thing that the Geeks can clear up once Hubby has a chance to get with them. I do have the other printer that can do for now.

The pool is finally finished and they cleared up the mess of the last two weeks. It definitely looks better and hopefully we won’t have to go through this again. My desire to have some sort of easier automated way to turn the hot tub on came at such a ridiculous price, I can’t justify it. Part of that is the lights we had replaced were far more expensive to replace than expected, but going with LED should also mean they last for a long time.

On the “up” side, Hubby’s presentation, “Photographing the Everglades”, on Friday went well despite the stupid mistake I made with getting a small projector. I completely misunderstood what this thing was and he was gracious about it. Now to figure out if there is anyone out there who can actually use this thing and maybe get another one. The issue is it can only be used in an almost completely darkened room and the images can’t be seen well from much of a distance. In other words, it’s great for a small conference room; not so much for anything else. It certainly is small and easy to carry.
