Internet on BOTH computers (!!!); Dad needs a hip replacement.
SO! The Internet is up on Aunt Pam and Uncle Larry's computer AND on my desktop computer. I will check my laptop soon to see if I can connect with it again.
Unfortunately, it appears that I damaged the newer router's jacks when removing its cables (when Robin had me take the router and modem into my room to try to temporarily connect to the Internet for Remote Access); the cables do not snap into place as they should. Uncle Larry hooked up the older router and got everything settled! He realized that the cables may have been improperly connected to the older router, so there was probably no need to buy the newer router in the first place. I still felt bad and asked if he'd be able to get his money back for the newer router, but he said it was no big deal.
Talked with Dad briefly. He asked how Uncle Larry was doing before I got on the phone, and he's going to call back soon.
Dad needs a hip replacement. His left hip has a tiny margin of 3/8 of an inch of cartilage between the hip socket and ball joint, but his right hip is bone-on-bone, just as his right knee had been.
Dad also mentioned that I could probably teach him a lot of new technical computer things thanks to my three-hour phone conversation with Robin yesterday. Wheee, I'm learning! - AND I'M NOT EVEN IN SCHOOL!
...Although that's going to change in a handful of days, but I'm relishing my time off, brief though it is.
OH OH AURORA! I read Tunnels of Blood the night before last night! :D Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series is a lot of fun: easy to read, yet exciting and bona fide page-turners.
Murlough is a creepy bastard, but... cool at the same time. :3
I can read the fourth book now!
Today is overcast and wet, so I may settle down and start Little Children later on. I want to READ more! Draw more, write more.... If there are more sunny days ahead, I want to get the gang up for a hike to the butte, too.
