It has been kind of a running joke on here that there are a number of the sayings on the back of Dove Chocolate wrappers that really fit the day. The newest round of "fortunes" is mostly lame. They recruited suggestions from consumers, and I'm mostly underwhelmed with this round of sayings.
However, one of them stood out, but I've been hanging onto it because it doesn't fit very often anymore. I'm really quite stress-free in this season of my life. I'm mostly doing things I've chosen to do with little hassle, maybe a deadline or two, sometimes extra energy required. But not much actual stress.
But today was a little stressful. I fixed one of the computer programming issues I was frustrated about yesterday, but I can not seem to find the other one. It's something easy that I'm just not seeing. Troubleshooting identifies the problem as being not in the code, but in the file structure. I keep looking at it and it looks OK. Maybe tomorrow I'll see the problem instantly.
But my frustration level is high. In response, I cleaned the dining room table. I promised the guys I'd cook for Thanksgiving. The autumn tablecloth that I couldn't find last year turned up this summer. (See, you just have to be patient!). I decided to go with the turkey candy dish for this year's decor. The nice candle I bought last year still looks good. I added some of those shaped candles that were so popular in the 1950s- 1960s. These are from Omer's mother. So we have a mix of family treasures on display.
I like having a really clean area. But, the project part of me just looks at that nice open flat surface and thinks it's being wasted as work space!
So, yes, there has been a tiny bit more chocolate involved in today than usual.
And also, in frustration, I started playing one of my favorite computer games again today. I quit it before the big hike because it takes too much time. And I couldn't get my old account back, so I had to start over at level 1. Bummer. But I'm tired of match-three games. Maybe I can do a better job of controlling my time-wasting now. Or not.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll see the error in the web file structure.
The heavy snow has totally missed our hill. However, it was starting to snow harder as it got dark. We will see what morning brings!

ReplyDeleteLulu: "Speaking of wrappers that say things, he has kept for years a cough drop wrapper from right after the Event that says on it, 'You've survived tougher'. He says he is not sure that's true though ..."
Bean- Ha! I would think that's the toughest thing he's survived. I have a couple of friends who have had similar who survived, but not in nearly as good shape.
DeleteI hate having to start a game over from the beginning. I have no doubt you will figure out that computer issue
ReplyDeleteI didn't even get to the computer issue today. Too much else going on! And I got into my old account with the help of a friend.- see today's post
