A good, productive day at "work." They had gotten software from Tech Soup, but the Activation Key didn't work, so all the software had a red bar saying, this software has not been activated--I was afraid it might stop working. You used to have only a certain number of uses (30?) before it wouldn't open. The Activation Key on the software package did not work and I couldn't find any information on the volumes of MS help, not even a phone number to call. But when I called Tech Soup, they said the information was in an email that they had sent. Nathan swore there was nothing in an email (this was in November), but they resent it, so I was able to follow the link and the instruction to get it working right on all the new computers.

I worked some on the bike ride fundraiser scheduled for May, including a phone conversation with another volunteer. And Nancy asked me to proofread and check a grant that was being submitted yesterday. It really felt like I was productive. The grant is for two full-time housing counselors. Of course, there is a question of whether the federal government is going to take away all CDBG funding, but it was still a good proposal. And Heather told me to check the paper on Sunday.

In other news, it was pretty cold here although sunny enough to be warm in the car. I made a shrimp and broccoli stir-fry from my iPhone, reminding me of Amelia, cooking from her iPhone. And listening to music. Ate, watched TV, went to bed by 9, read some. Woke up about 5. It's Saturday--pilates, maybe some gardening if it's warm enough, maybe the gymnastics meet at 4. Ray is off next week, although he will be working a lot. Maybe it will feel a little more relaxed around here.
