what a day!

*sigh* today has been pretty frustrating. I got a call from our neighbor at 11:30 this morning that water was spraying out of a pipe on the side of our house. We rush home and discover that we forgot to winterize the irrigation system - the drought along with no watering for months and the slow growing lawn messed up our usual declaration that all watering & mowing shall cease & get ready for winter. So Wei Yan got the water from flowing down the grass and into the sewer. Thankfully our neighbors driveway is close to this side of the house & she could actually see the pipe & hear the water going down the storm drain. Had we come home that evening when it was dark, we would not have seen a think from our driveway.

my laptop is still now working quite right. printer won't install correctly. well, correction, it was and then I was trying to install hp's full software so that i could get the scanning and all the other bells and whistles to work and now it won't do a darn thing. *sigh* and had to reboot our cable modem & router this evening since that was acting up. this is after spending a few hours over the christmas break trying to get a vpn dialer working so that i can log into work. well, i might just have to give up before i throw the laptop across the room. i hate software sometimes.
