The trip to Chicago was nice. Seeing [livejournal.com profile] boixboi was really nice. We once again spent a good number of hours just lazing around, talking, and taking the occasional trip down to the second floor to do laundry. Heh. We chatted late into the night, finally getting to sleep at something like 3:30 in the morning. I think. It's kinda funny; I head down to his apartment expecting we'll probably watch a movie or something and we end up just crashing on the futon and talking for hours, which is really very nice. As we talked about, you sometimes need to take a break from craziness, no matter how pressing that craziness may be. It was a very relaxing time and I feel better.

I got to talk to my raccoon when she called me during the night too. I had called her once on the way down, but she called me again anyway when the usual time rolled around, just to make contact and chat a little, and it was a very sweet and romantic thing which made me happy. *tailwags*

On the way home I stopped and looked at Buckingham Fountain for a few minutes, hurrying back to my car afterward to avoid a ticket, and stopped at the Salvation Army store in Kenosha where I bought a Flamenco CD for a dollar.

So I'm home again and must return to real life™, at least until this Friday when, one way or the other, I'll be seeing Andrea again. *contented sigh* I'm so lucky.

I figured out why my server wasn't working!

This is actually quite a load off my mind. I don't like leaving things unfinished. I like to start on something and get it done so I can stop thinking about it and for the past three days my server has been 30 pounds of unfinished sitting in the middle of my floor. But it works now! This is an occasion for the happy doggy dance!

The problem has to do with an incorrect date setting in the bios. I set it 50 years ahead so that certain software didn't expire and for some reason the future date made my mail server continually crash. I have no idea why they're related, but I finally tried resetting the date and it worked. This makes me happy. Now I have to figure out why my sound card isn't working again. Heh. Then I have to transfer the 16 gigabytes of backed up MP3's and movies back to my server...

Got stuff on E-bay including a pair of Docs thanks to some sizing information from my lovely assistant. *grin* More tomorrow.


And my LiveJournal haiku:
