a normal day

it's saturday. i've spent most of the day in the office. SOP. grampy is visiting #1 son and his family - won't be back 'til after 9:00pm.
this is routine. i start with e-mail, and catch up on a few podcasts. log in to the #techguy chatroom a little after 10:00am, and listen to the KFI broadcast when it starts a little after 11:00am. yes, i do multi-task throughout the show, mostly in 'puter work, sometimes a little fiber arts, but always within earshot. today i synced the iPod and the iTouch and made sure they were thoroughly charged. i trimmed some of the rubber stamps i had on the desk, and put away one of the afghans i'm working on (until the rest of the yarn arrives). i added my name to a couple knitting blogs and caught up on past submissions.
NOTE: why does google insist on using the same password for e-mail that is used for google checkout? it doesn't encourage me to use google checkout--that's for sure! and it means i have an really complex password just for checking my e-mail...
when the chatroom closes, i sometimes take a nap, but usually i do a few household chores--often with podcasts playing in the background. i love my airport express (broadcasts to the stereo equipment downstairs).
today, i ordered a game for the DS from amazon, placed an order for rubber stamps and paper, balanced the checkbook, edited a catalogue of images in lightroom, and followed tweets from SXSW. lazy day. but very normal. it's really been pretty quiet--#2 son has been away all day.
tomorrow is my mom's 77th b'day. we're going down to visit around noon, staying 'til a little after dinner. standard visit includes balancing her bank accounts in quicken. my brother helped her organize all her tax papers this year. that's a real blessing; my eyesight isn't that much better than hers when it comes to reading the print on the papers she needs every year.
i really enjoyed my day. and i'm looking forward to the day, tomorrow.
