Hmmmm... It's been awhile

I thought I should attempt to update this thing since it's been so long! Not too much new going on this side of the screen. In the last few weeks i've taken a trip to Perth with my father to see my Nana, and worked a cobalt pull at work. For those who don't know what cobalt is, it's used to irradiate food before it goes on the market. Lasts longer that way. That pull took up a lot of time. I worked basically 2 weeks straight and my only day off was spent going to a co-workers wedding (Which was very nice by the way).

Other then that, not too much else has been going on with me lately. Patrick attempted his first morning at play school last week but it didn't go over too well. He basically went into overload and not even Deb could console him (She spent the whole time with him to get him adjusted). We think it was from a lack of sleep (he was really tired) and the new environment. Deb was really worried that it wasn't going to work but she came up with a new plan of action with him and will attempt it this week. He'll go in for the morning and when he's settled a bit, Deb will leave. She'll come pick him up at the end of thier outdoor time which is a couple hours later. This way he only has one transition (Indoor to outdoor) and won't have to do the lunch thing yet. He is the youngest one there so its a bit much for him. We'll try this out for a couple weeks and maybe start extending the time he's there down the road. I know Deb was pretty upset after the whole experience and I couldn't think of anything else that day while I was at work but we both feel this is the best way for him to start getting more socialization skills and prepare him for real school. It is only a couple mornings a week and we're sure he'll have fun if he gives it a chance.

Well once again you're up to date in my life. This is my last day off then back to work for 3 days. Shouldn't be too bad at work. Just training new people. I'm hoping to find out this week when i'm going to Bruce A plant and what my new shift will be. I'm kind of hoping straight monday to friday but you never know. I get more overtime on the shift i'm on now which will be nice when Sprout comes along and i'm on parental leave.

Anyways... Talk at ya later!

Well I got it fixed… but I’m all alone!

First off… Patrick and Deb have gone to my inlaws place in Orangeville for the week. I’m working a lot and although I have the weekend off, I’m heading to Perth with my father to see my Nana. I haven’t seen her since my Papa passed away in January so it will be nice to see her again. The other reason Deb and Patrick went this week is because it will really be the last time they will be able to do that. Patrick is enrolled in play school which starts in a couple weeks so that will put the Kibosh on any future week long trips.

Now… onto other news. My iPod now works. I gave it to my sister and her boyfriend and they reset it on their computer, which confirmed it was my software and conflicts on my system that was giving me all the hassle. So while Deb and Patrick were gone, I reformatted our laptop and reinstalled the basics. Everything seems to be working well now except for an occasional blue screen of death that pops up when I have something plugged into the USB. I’m not too worried since we so rarely have anything plugged in and I don’t really feel like screwing around in the BIOS. I get frustrated enough and this is a problem I can live with.

So, now your up to date… and I’m tired and want to go to bed.

Night All

Stupid Friggin iPod!!!!

Well I FINALLY got my iPod! It was the second one on ebay. The first one I purchased never came and I had to dispute it with Paypal. I got my money back but still… pain in the ass.

I purchased another iPod through ebay, this time with a colour screen and a 20gig hard drive. I figured it would be great to load up audio books and listen to them on the way to and from work. The iPod was only a year old and was suppose to work great. And it did… for about a day. I had a hard time getting it recognized on my computer and it would only show up some times when I tried to put new songs on it. The apple site and my sister (whom had this problem with her iPod) said to restore it to factory settings. It should take care of the problem. Well I tried that… and tried… and tried. It kept giving me an error that the firmware wouldn’t update. Which is bad… really bad. It means I can’t use my iPod at all now. I’m not sure where the problem is. It could be in my computer which has prompted me to do a format and restore on it (I had been meaning to for awhile now) but still. If it doesn’t work… I’m going to throw a major wobbly!! Deb and Patrick are going to her folks this week so I’ll try working on it after work this week.

YEESH!!!

NOTHING is ever easy for me. I’m serious!!
