Well...

Not as fast as I had thought.  Though maybe.  Instead of other things intended, I set up my printer.  Oh, but I had to figure out what was wrong with the external cd drive.  The internal one has a broken bit that makes it unusable.  That done, and this and that, the printer is functioning.  While it was loading drivers and such, I went to Amazon to get the return label for the watch arranged.  Just about as if planned and precisely and accurately, the printer was ready just in time.  *zip*  Printed.  So big, though.  I bought an inexpensive printer.  As such, there is no means of reducing the size of the print.  Or, so far.  Perhaps I have missed something, or need to restart the computer.  I'll check in a short bit.

Before that I called my mother.  She seems to be doing quite well.  It is quite cold there.  She, I think finally, appreciated her Christmas gift.  A really warm, truly solid quality coat, is worth it's weight in shivers and illness.  But that is difficult to foresee until you are in one and it is below zero.  Not a brag, just... pleasing.  Wisdom can take some time to see.  It is always good to hear a mother's voice.  To hear health and wellness, some comfort, and pleasure with life.  This summer, perhaps, we will visit my brother.  All of us are cranky and rusty, but just as sharp, petty, mean, and yet with good features too.  The sparring is, mostly, more mature, targeted, and either quite passive or quite direct these days.  A drive there with her will be quite the thing.  Then a few days to a week altogether and...  Should be interesting.  Hey, we all like to fight, be right, get hurt a bit, and then make it right.  We will get our wish.  For me it's nothing personal, in a way.  Just business.  My mother and brother, I always thought, were a bit more... delicate.  Yeah... should be fun.

Crazy what I am doing, how fast I got back to it... with a little sun.  Today is cloudy, but my solar batteries are charged well enough to carry me through a day or two.  Probably.  I still need to write a letter and a check, fill out a thank you card, start a load of laundry, take a shower, start a load of dishes, and put the box together for a return.  Truly, quite nice.  How much of that will, definitely, get done is anyone's guess.  Though... I suspect that most or all of it.  And maybe snowshoe practice this evening.  Maybe.  Oh, right, best get the girls some food.  I'll put a load of laundry in at the same time, and make a tidy little breakfast as well, for myself.  Eggs, bacon, and...  Hmm...  Not pancakes today, I just don't quite have the time.  But soon, on those.

If I can get timing back under some control, I might have to hit up Mass, and confession.  I have been so off for the last few years.  As I told my friend, an hour late IS on time.  Gah!  Yes, he knows.  Hmm... while in town, at least after knocking off some of my efforts, I will probably see if he is interested in a lunch, or late lunch.  Best call him around 10:00, or he will eat and so be too full for a lunch.  Just fast food, but it's not at home, no cooking, no cleaning, and inexpensive enough.

Later.
