Get in fedizens, we’re doing Wednesday.

Today is usually busy for us since we have to put out the laundry. So I did that, and even made sure to get up earlier than I wanted to in order to do that.

And then, I spent an hour and a half fighting with Windows after it went into standby again after taking on updates. There’s got to be a setting I’m missing somewhere to tell it just to do a full restart.

So anyway, I had to restart twice, and I’m putting off t he Jaws updates until later because I don’t want to spend more tome on that.

And also my email is just annoying me today.

I think we should reset Wednesday back to its defaults and then restart it.

In other news, it’s really nice outside right now, and if I can and I’m not too tired later I might go outside for a bit. Mostly because my computer is also annoying me in general.

Get in fedizens, we’re doing Tuesday.

I slept in too late to attend the morning minyan so I’ll catch the evening one later. My braille display is acting weird though so I need to sort out why it’s just randomly scrolling through everything before I can actually use it. I’m hoping there’s a firmware update that’ll fix this.

We don’t have regular baseball until the weekend, and last night at least we didn’t listen to the Home Run Derby, although I’ll check to see how things turned out.

Oh, and we’re waiting for some groceries.

Other than that, it’s just another normal work day.

Get in fedizens, we’re doing Monday.

And this one is turning out so far to be a very typical Monday.

Windows decided to go into standby at some point during the night, which means I’ve spent a bunch of time restarting and getting everything launched properly, because of course nothing quite works right after standby.

One of these days I’m going to nuke this thing from orbit and install some variant of Linux. Because I don’t have these problems with Linux. It just fucking runs.

No, of course I’m not going to do that, because there are apps I need that only run on Windows, and see also: Accessibility on Linux. But still, I can swear at Windows, can’t I?

I haven’t checked to see if we have any baseball games yet today, but I’ll get to that in a bit. And of course coffee.
