silver_chipmunkThough I started by once again sleeping til 12:00. But then I got up and had breakfast and coffee.
Then I did what I am very proud of. I got the printer working again. Before I went to Arisia I tried printing out my to do list and discovered the computer wasn't recognizing the (wireless) printer. I had no time then to play with it so I let it be, and I hadn't done anything about it since.
But today I fiddled with it and discovered that somehow something called the MP driver had gotten uninstalled or something. Then I had to find the MP driver (not the printer driver, mind you!) and install it. Allow me to say the Canon website was only marginally helpful. Yes the drivers were there to download... but difficult to locate that MP driver. I did though and got the printer working.
Then I added water to the turtle tank. And then I cleaned the cat pan.
Then I tossed on some clothes (sweat pants and my thermal shirt) and took the dirty kitty litter and the two Valentines for Middle Brother and the Kid, and ventured out into the cold. It's actually warmed up a bit but still was below freezing.
Anyway, I took the litter to the garbage, and walked around the block, and to the mailbox and mailed the Valentines. So they should arrive before Saturday I hope.
Then I had something to eat. And I went to the bedroom and lay down for awhile and played solitaire on my phone.
Meanwhile my limited edition Stephen Colbert Funko Pop has not yet been delivered, although the tracking said it was out for delivery yesterday. So I looked up how to contact Funko and I sent them a message.
Then I Teamed the FWiB. We were going along fine, over an hour, when the Teams crashed and kicked me out. We got back on, but it was annoying. Don't know if it was Teams, or my wretched computer.
The Funko people answered! They said it was normal to have a delivery delay and I should wait a few days before panicking. So I will wait.
Then I had dinner, a Lean Cuisine frozen pizza for World Pizza Day. Tasty. Then I went to the bedroom again, and played on the phone til pet feeding time.
And so I got some stuff done today.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got the printer working without too much trouble.
3. Got the Valentines out.
4. Heard back from Funko.
5. Have Samsung Health working on my phone now to count steps.
6. Pizza.
