Crap weekend. I have tried so hard to be nice and easy and caaaalm but it is not working. Reasons for this:
1) Husband's grandmother as houseguest for two nights. Now, this is not in itself a problem, as she is a pretty awesome person in many ways, but I am just not mentally equipped to deal with most houseguests.
2) MY COMPUTER OMG WOES. The monitor is displaying lots of extra dots and bars and weird green lines on top of everything. I think the video card is on its way to toast. I've ordered a new card, but I'm currently freaking because a) should I just get a new computer? I mean, really, I bought this one in 10/03, and even though it was top of the line at that time, it's probably only just holding its own now, and b) the new card? might need a special power supply just for itself. GRAH. And this is the worst, because y'all know I can't live without my computer. I am going nuts. I want to write and I'm afraid of giving myself massive headache. And remember that giant eBay listing project? Well, this is certainly making it challenging. grah.
3) Fourth of July party we hosted yesterday. I planned it so that I would have to do the least amount of work possible, and that did work out, but still, sun porch full of people I barely know? Sometimes I can deal with it, and I did, and there were fabulous fireworks, but it was a bit exhausting.
( and a leetle more woe )
