I am cheating on you with Meijer

I forgot to mention, yesterday was the
THIRD ANNUAL FORTH NATIONAL JENN DAY!

I completely forgot about it until I was halfway down to San Antonio to see my family.

Well, since the cat is outta the bag, here's the National Jenn Days and it they're meanings, make sure to ask for these days off at your place of work:

1st NJD - March 6th, 2000 - First day I went fulltime female (First day of work, too)
2nd NJD - May 20th, 1999 - Legally got my name changed.
3rd NJD - July 26th, 1974 - Birthday!
4th NJD - September 1st, 2000 - First day on hormones

So I went home for Labor Day, just to spend time with the family, and not seem so reclusive. A good time was had, although I did hear some worrysome stuff about an aunt who is either schizophrenic, or has a svengali fortune teller.

Either way, she has said some horrible things about my mother. And while I have done this, the things this aunt is saying is just plain wrong, disturbing, and scary. Hopefully it will all work out, and thankfully, all the people hearing the drivel don't believe it.

Other than that one snag, the family is doing well, and not freaking out about me as much as they used to.

Most of today was running errands, and geting pissed off at the crappy insurance I'm signed up with. They're basically not covering anything and I decided that if they didn't cover my prescriptions, I would cancel them. They DID cover my prescribptions. I have no idea how much, but it probably wasn't much. I STILL paid $200 for three sets of pills.

Bastards.

I also took the time to fix up my computer. Several of the functions on here never worked right, like the airfilter (it's stuck in there), the cabinet door (it doen't close if there's a CD in the top drive bay), the front panel (very loose, and pushes in when you plug in a USB port, and audio doesn't work).

The cabinet door is unsalvagable, but they do sell new ones, so I'll order one. I broke the air filter...but it comes out now. :) Front panel was just loose, and I tightened it back in, powered up the front panel sound, and now I can use GOOD HEADPHONES! WOO!

I was talking with a friend of mine who showed me some of his furry art. I'm not a big furry person at all. I don't understand it, it's not for me, and I spent a few too many hours too close to a group involved with them.

The closest thing I ever did to anything "furry" was a race I created for the last two Polychronicon stories. But for the Polychronicon, I also created a race of people who are officially plants and elves also live in this same Universe.

Still it's neat to see that some of the furry-types out there like the stuff I came up with.

So far XP has been very good to me, except for three things: My CD ripper doesn't work correctly in XP, my MPeg encoder won't run and my TV card won't show anything but TV (no composite or S-Video)...but that's why I did the dual-boot thing. :)
