You guys, I have internets at home again now! The wireless card still isn't working (Belkin recommends updating the drivers), but I have been graciously lent a 20' ethernet cable that is doing the trick just fine in the interim.
Thanksgiving is so totally the Yomtov That Isn't. It's extremely weird to watch everyone disappear out of school and have it *not* be a case of running home in time for candlelighting...!
I am spending this weekend locally, since I had invitations to Thanksgiving dinner from several different friends -- thanks, you guys, all of you, for making me feel loved and included. :-) So although this will still mean driving well over an hour each way (with traffic) tomorrow, I don't have to get up early or do any of the driving or, in fact, do anything but pack some good music for the car and be a gracious guest. I'm looking forward to it.
And now that I've finished the shul newsletter, and uploaded it to Kinko's for Friday morning pickup... *BED*.

Date: Thursday, November 26th, 2009 05:43 am (UTC)Hopefully the driving weather will be better tomorrow. I got to spend quality time on 95 this afternoon on the way to the car dealer. My car's brakes, were um, not quite braking. The Chevy people were super kind and took me at the last second and fixed it so tomorrow's drive out to Western Mass isn't quite so much for J (I'm not really road tested on his standard transmission yet, mine is automatic). I managed to get a plastic bag stuck in a caliper, rendering it useless...I get the prize for weird car things some days. The upside to all this was that the repair was free and I got my scheduled maint. out of the way (not so free, but necessary).
