Last Day of Vacation
And I spent rather a lot of it in my car, in rush hour, in the blazing sun, with too little food in me. As a result, the trip — to the nearest Microcenter to drop off BB's dead computer, and to buy badly needed provisions at the nearby, but confusingly placed, Costco — brought out a great deal of snappishness in Team kaffyrBB. We survived, of course, especially once I got a little bit of food in me. On the other hand, I got home in the nick of time, because I was completely exhausted. We got home around 6:30 p.m., and now, just before midnight Chicago time, I'm still feeling the exhaustion that seems to stem a great deal from overheating. (This is not, I must point out, actual medical-type heat exhaustion, which has specific symptoms that I don't have. I'm simply rather unhealthily exhausted by the heat, in a way that seems to be specific to heat. And I maintain that there is a difference. What?)
Shortly after we got back home, the Microcenter people called, and told BB it would cost $400 for them to replace the motherboard and the processor. He told them not to bother. He'll go in, pick it up, and pick up a motherboard and a processor and replace the items himself. He can do that; he just wasn't able to diagnose the original problem. Now that they've done it for him, he can take it from there.
Personal journalling — are we sure Sam Pepys done it this way?[/Waylon]
Oh, and Dreamwidth still can't decide what layout it thinks I have. It goes back and forth between two. Sometimes, if I log out and log back in, the right layout pops up, but that didn't happen this time. Well, at least it's an intriguing problem, rather than a large one.
