Apr. 20th, 2007 09:33 pmM's computer is well on its way to recovery tonight, and I am happy to say that it is largely because of me. I knew absolutely nothing about hardware when we first got married, but I had two or three rather brilliant suggestions that led to him a) not losing any of his files, as opposed to all of them and b) fixing his alarming partition problem that rendered upwards of 400 GB of his new hard drive unpartitionable. (Not the big hard drive issue, this was something else.) He is rewarding me by forcing me to play Swedish big band jazz from the 30s. It is a hard life.
I have been on my feet too much this evening and they are really showing it, which is frustrating because I still have a bit of energy left for doing things but I am going to have to go lay down so my feet are still operable. I doubt there's much chance I'll get up from the couch still in the mood to work. I am nesting hard-core the last few days, except for yesterday, when I was just too tired to do anything. Today involved sorting, hanging and storing the rest of the duckling's clothes, except for the things that need to go in a drawer, and all of that is stacked neatly in the closet. I have a load of baby stuff going now, and the last of the diaper pre-washing loads are drying now. All of the prefolds and the fitteds that I bought require a gazillion washes with hot water before use to increase absorbency. And, just when I finished up the first batch, in probably seven cycles of washing-drying.. I found two that hadn't been done. Ouch. I have done a lot of laundry in the last few weeks. Practice, I guess. :) Now all that's left to do is all the stuff on all nine lists! Argh. M keeps telling me that it'll be okay if we don't have everything done before she gets here but that is just not how I operate. I do have Monday off, so hopefully I'll be able to knock some of the smaller stuff off my list. Eighteen more work days (or less!) until maternity leave starts. Gah. That sounds soon.
