so glad i'm back home right now...

I had so many viruses on my computer it was insane! It took a good 24 hours to get rid of all of them using three different virus/spyware detection programs! The virus had gotten to my McAfee virus scan software and it wouldn't work. What a perfect time to be living with my parents, with my dad the computer man.

I also had a flat tire yesterday when I left for work. Thank goodness it was just outside my house and I was really lucky that my dad was off from work. He let me take his car to work and he took mine to get the nail hole fixed in my tire. What a great dad! :) And how lucky I am that he likes doing things for me still!

preparing for the storm

So this 'low system' appeared in the Gulf of Mexico over night. This morning when I left for work it was still a low, by the time I got to work it was a tropical depression. Now it's Tropical Storm Humberto, just sitting about to hit land any time now. This means I may be living up at work if people get flooded in and can't make their shifts. Boy I hope I won't have to be changing people's diapers, I guess if I have to I can do it, but I'd sure rather not! Babies are tiny, old people are grown up folk with grown up craps. It could be an interesting night for me...

dogs are expensive

I love my dog, an ex-boyfriend who is now in prison gave him to me. But holy crap was I surprised when I left the vet's office today. I took him for his annual exam today (I thought it was only fair that we both get them on the same day.) $194.20 later I left. After he snapped at the vet, she was a new vet, the one we saw before is no longer there. Seriously, almost $200 just for his exam, heartworm test, fecal test, and rabies shot! I'm glad I only have one.

finished

I finished the puzzle early this morning but can't find the book now! I took my car to get inspected this morning and I guess I must have left the book on the counter after I checked out. Boo!

new sudoku book

I got a new book of easy 'n' fun sudoku puzzles. I like to do them when I'm about to go to sleep. A few puzzles into this book is a puzzle for a "WORDOKU" contest. It's hard. The number puzzles are easy because you know the sequence of numbers that needs to be in the holes. This "word" puzzle is more like a "LETTER" puzzle. The "word" is not a word at all. They give you the letters E N R H S U D I O. Um, yeah, hard to make a distinguished sequence out of that. It's hard to know which letters you're missing in each grouping. This is where I got stuck, in case any of you enjoy sudoku. I will pick it back up tomorrow perhaps.
