THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND LABOR DAY IS TO SPEND THE DAY NOT LABORING, RIGHT?
Ella had to work today. Not only that, she had to work in some faraway exotic locale.Ok. It's Boston, but that seems pretty exotic to me right now. She'll be back Wednesday night.
But no worries. I can do this single-parenting gig with my eyes shut now.
Actually, that's a lie. Those who know me know I will not be getting any sleep while she's gone.
Or showers.
I AM AN IDIOT (BUT YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY)
I spent four hours Sunday evening trying to set up my wireless router. I have no problem connecting to the network with my laptop if I ignore a tiny little item known as SECURITY.If my network is unsecured, I have no problem logging in. However, as soon as I activate the firewall on the router, the damn laptop just spins its wheels and laughs at me. Bastard.
Tomorrow night, when I hopefully have some time after the kids go to bed, I'll resume my battle (I really have no idea where to begin but I do know it's not a password issue). But I can tell you those wireless-n cards rock! I'm connecting at 270 Mbps! I can see twelve (yes, twelve!) networks in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, they are all secure networks.
Maybe I should start knocking on my neighbors' doors and see if one them can help me.
BUT IT'S NOT ALL BAD!
