dolariSome quick updates:
1) I lost my sims! After 60 "days" of working with them, they got into a glitch where no one could DO anything. I'd send them to go get food, they'd walk up to the fridge, then complain like they couldn't get into it. If I sent to the use the restroom, they'd walk to the toilet, then complain that something was in the way (With a word baloon that consisted ONLY of blue vertical lines!). At first I thought it was just the one family, but when I tried it with the Andrea/Michael family the same thing happened. I tried jumping into another already-made family and sure enough it was happening there, too. At least I saved their bodies, so I all I had to do was reimport them, but I'm back at square one. It's nice to see Kid-Emm'a and Adult Han'a and Nen'a again, but I never realized just how I'd feel losing...well...FILES. I tend to get attatched to things, animate and inanimate easily. Anyways, I installed all my families at once, they're all in synch, too.
2) My back is killing me. I was fine up until yesterday morning, when I woke up in extreme pain running from my neck down my spine. If I moved the wrong way, my muscles would click and clack and twinge. I figured I slept on it wrong and as it hurt, "tenderized" the muscles. Don't ask how I do that, you won't believe me. It never got worse, but it also barely got better better. This morning, the pain has moved up my nack just a bit, but in general is a much smaller area all over my back. Musta pinched something.
3) My "good" monitor blew out! A few weeks ago I mentioned that the screen went blanche white, but fixed itself after a few minutes. Last night, it began "Ticking" where randomly it would "click" and the screen would flicker. Once it even shut itself down, and I had to unplug then replug it it to get it back on. So I decided - you know - you have a vacation coming up, we'll just keep it working till then and replace it. Sure enough, three seconds after I said that, instead of one flicker, every line onthe monitor flickered, the monitor clicked like mad, then it released the magical smoke that madeit work. I HATE HATE HATE the smell of burning electronics. I've still got a monitor I can use (ironically OLDER than the last one), but will need a new one soon. If y'all could help me get one sooner, that'd be great. If not, I'll get it AFTER the vacation.
4) The Vacation is officially a go. All money for it has been put aside minus about $200 I'll do next paycheck. Hotels are reserved and paid for, cars are reserved and mostly paid for, tickets are paid for. My only real fear is trying to cross the border...I don't have anything to be fearful OF, but police of anykind worry me, especially in a post 9/11 world where everyone is a suspect. I've only ever been to Mexico once, and my dad knew how to play the system since he made deliveries to the Mexican border towns every few weeks and we got there with just a wavethrough and got back with just a wavethrough (wonder when he smoked the last of those cuban cigars). Still, there's nothing to KEEP me from crossing the border, so I shouldn't really worry. I just do. I'm this way when a cop pulls up behind me, eight cars back. :)
Anyways, that's me in a nutshell. How's you?
