MrG and FriendsMister (whom I shall start to call FM), are going to the swap meet tomorrow to get scrap metal and start doing that together again like they did when they lived with us. They both spent about 20 bucks total today on brass and copper...and so far as of yesterday, they have already collected about 80 bucks worth. MrG is no longer stagnating in front of his tv set, nor am I...both of us waiting to just die. Now we have goals. A home of our own, and MrG and FM doing scraping. We miss those 1200 and 1500 checks from the scrap metal yard. FM needs the cash too, since he is having a helluva time finding work. Being an ex felon....it is difficult for him. But now that MrG is back with him again and we all live in the same house..they can both make money together and they get along so well anyway..its a win win.
Happy Columbus Day!
We're already up to 80 woke up with 70% humidity which is normal in the early morning down here for this time of year, it's dropped to 45% and should drop down to around 20% by mid afternoon.No difference for us except we won't get any mail today. Our friend may get out of the hospital today and we'll deliver our semi-resident mini doxie back to her, but otherwise we'll have an uneventful day most likely.
But good morning everybody. A beautiful bright blue October day in New Mexico--mid 70's to maybe even 80 during the day, low 50's and high 40's at night. Probably our last warmish week though--unusually warm for this time of year for us.
Today is my first day of class. My financial aid also went through, it was as the one woman said, about $700 of the about $900 tuition and fees. That doesn't count the close to $200 for 3 books. So it will end up being about $400 out of pocket for the semester.
I already hate it. It's pretty much worthless crap, I will almost certainly never use any of this in the future. It's not even related to health care, just the basic stuff you get in any degree. I knew I'd have to do this kind of thing, but it still annoys the hell out of me. Learning how to effectively read, a lot of which is by not actually reading.
I'm also having some issues with Word. There are instructions from one class on setting up Word. However, those instructions are for 2007 or 2010 Word. I'm using an online version of Word through the school that I believe is a 2016 version. Even there, it may not have all the normal features, but downloading and running it from the PC is not an available option. I'll have to see if I can use Libre office or something similar.
It's been a frustrating day so far and, I expect, that will probably continue. I can't say I'm confident about how this will go, I already want to break things. Things like this do nothing but reinforce my pessimism.

Bummer. (I wanted you to really enjoy it. We're still using a 2003 version of Word and I have refused to upgrade. The older version is less complicated and we can do everything we have to do on it. But if all you're having to do right now is basic college courses, I would think any word processing program would work.
The wife uses 2010 Word, I use LibreOffice Writer, free and I can save everything to be used in Word so if it has to be opened in Word (say by a teacher) it can be opened.Today is my first day of class.

Its a £151 million jackpot on the euro lottery tonight, and I don't have a ticket. That's because I have been waiting in all day for a new mattress to be delivered by Amazon but it did not arrive. They emailed me saying it was due today, but they have let me down.

We got one of those Casper mattesses, delivered by truck to the front door.
We really like it!

I ordered a memory foam mattress, but it is a budget one not an expensive make. Mine was only £140 and you can pay £800 for a big name make. But I need one because I wore a hole in my old one with my feet.
