A Wasted Day?

I wonder if I really did just waste a day. It certainly didn't start well, but at least it didn't end badly.

I started looking for the deed for the house - the documentation that the IRS needs to release the lien that they mistakenly placed on my house. Of course, I couldn't find it which necessitated a trip to the courthouse to get a copy. Not only that, but I wasn't at work that long before Christy called and informed me that the vacumm cleaner had died. Yippee! Another good day on the way...

I guess I then wasted most of the rest of the day trying to get the non-working Google Desktop Search working. I should have just given up, but somehow found myself on one of those quests to find out what was wrong and to get it working. Like the search for the proverbial fountain of youth... I've given up now - I'll have to leave my problem to the computer gurus at Google and hope they can fix it sometime.

I really need to get back to reading that book. That first battle just became more interesting since I realized that it is the origin for the meaning of the word marathon. Maybe I can force my way through the politics and name dropping without falling asleep.

In other news, I did sale something on eBay yesterday, and mailed it out today. Yeah, it wasn't much, but I did get rid of something I no longer used and got money for it in the process!

I also got my digital camera back from Christy. She used it yesterday - taking pictures at Christian's pre-K Halloween get-together. As soon I process them, I'll post some here. Christian - who can't stand to wear costumes - went as the only thing that didn't per se require a costume. If I haven't told you what his "costume" was - fell free to guess. You'll just have to wait on the pictures... :)
