Happy Toosday!
Spent two hours at the park this morning. It was a cloudy 37 feels like 30 when I got there, now the sun is shining and it’s 39 feels like 32.
Echo is worn out, which is a good thing. There is a new dog named Lexi coming in the mornings, she’s 6 months old and loves to run, so Echo is getting a good workout.
I also found out how Echo got the nickname Trouble at the daycare. One of the daycare people got a job with one of my friends at the park. It seems that Echo is not so well behaved at snack time, and has to be put in time out. Then she whines so loud that she can be heard throughout the entire building.
The ‘treat lady’ walked by the park today. Nice older lady who brings treats for the dogs. Shocked the crap out of me to see Ripple right up there with the rest of the dogs wanting a treat. Usually he won’t take food from strangers, there are people he sees almost everyday at the park who still can’t pet him, and there he was, tail wagging and waiting his turn.
There was a kid at the park today and I was happy to see Echo was being friendly with her. She usually hides from kids, but she seems to like this girl.
Friend1 is talking about coming up here on Sunday. I hope she does, she has not been doing well, depression, and we’ve all been worried about her. She also has a severe vitamin D deficiency and has not been taking her prescription pills. She just went back to the doctor and he told her she is dangerously low in vitamin D and got on her to take her pills every day. I’m sure that isn’t helping her depression, as well as the pains she has in her legs. I’d call her every day and remind her but she blocked my number. Then she gets mad at me because I never call her. I know she didn’t block me on purpose, but she is technically challenged and who knows what she did. There is a way on a land line to block the last number that called you, and she probably hit the wrong button at some time.
Got to help my son with a few more things today as far as school goes. He is having trouble with the online registery of his History of Jazz class. He took History of Rock through the same company and the company won’t let him use the same sign-on and password, which is okay, he can create a different one. However, it also won’t let him use the same email, and that is an issue because he needs to use his school email for the class. There is a way to create a separate account and then merge the accounts, but that involves calling the company.
There is also a little confusion in another of his classes about how something is to be done, and he wants me to help him write the email to the professor for clarification.
I also have to make a decision on a new computer for him. His laptop is a gaming laptop and is very old, probably close to 10 years old. He uses my computer for his classwork because he doesn’t want to add anything more to his. This annoys me because he is using my computer a lot. I’m trying to decide if I should just get him a new gaming laptop, very expensive, now and he can use it or his old one for school irk, or if I should just get another cheap one for him to use just for school irk and get him a gaming laptop later.
Or I could just put a new fan in my old laptop, or get one put in, because I don’t feel confident in my abilities to do it myself.
I thought about just getting a chrome book for him for school, but then I’ve read they are not good for college students.
I hate making decisions.

Honestly, the main thing I dislike about winter is the reduced daylight hours. I’m not crazy about cold, but one can always add layers.
