Well today (and since last friday) I have been sick so I’ve been at home. I thought that I would get a lot of knitting done, but I’ve been to tired to knit really at all. Plus, I’ve been sleeping a lot and drinking cranberry juice in front of the computer. (News flash: I have an account on Knittinghelp.com! In the forum! Gasp) :roflhard: My internet connection has been wavering, so I plan on buying a new laptop in the near future. I am sooooo sick of click “repair” repeatedly. My hypothesis is that the computer is old (that’s a fact, dummy! :doh:) and the Wireless Network Interface Card is old (another fact, dummy! :wall:) and stuff is getting in the way of the connection to the router. I don’t know. The router is in the garage and the computer is in the kitchen. Although, I haven’t had a problem with the internet like this for like, I don’t know, almost 5 years now. My desk is really cluddered though, so that might be part of the problem. Yes, probably. I have this Chinese take-out box stacked on top of 3 packs of index cards stacked on top of an empty chocolate box stacked on top of a composition notebook with a paper on the bottom. ( :roflhard: ) Happy knitting!
