Rain rain go away. It was gray and rainy when we walked yesterday morning. It wasn't raining much when I went to the Land Trust after I dropped Ray off. In fact, I didn't bring my umbrella in. I did bring my lunch--a sandwich on homemade bread. When I was ready to go, it was pouring. I actually couldn't leave when I wanted to, because I had left my purse etc at the desk where I usually sit, but the person in that room was meeting with someone with the door closed. I didn't want to interrupt; kept thinking she would be done soon. I mainly worked on the mailing list.

I went to Catherine K.'s house. She has MS and her mother had asked me to come over and see if I could fix her computer.  What she really meant is get her back on the internet. The computer is fine. Catherine knows more about her computer than her parents do, but none of them could tell me the name of the wireless network when I called. A network was showing up, but the password didn't work. Catherine's mother had given me the name of the man at PeachMac who had helped them set it up and I called there. He said the network started with H_ and so I knew that was not the one listed. Heather also pointed out that the iPad was working fine and wasn't it using the same network. I fiddled with the iPad a bit (fun!) and looked through a book Catherine had (iPad for Dummies), eventually determining that the iPad is much like a big-screen mobile phone and was accessing the internet through the phone line. I tried to call AT&T but got cut off when they were supposedly transferring me, so I gave up on that. I told Catherine and Heather they need a new modem.

I picked up Ray in the pouring rain and we went home, made a salad, went to potluck. One good thing: I talked to Kay about the installation reception. I dozed off in choir and we went home a little early. Ray stayed up late and I woke up early. I went in the other room to read and finally went back to sleep, after realizing I hadn't registered for unemployment compensation this week. My computer wasn't accessing the internet, so I had to go down to the basement and unplug the router before I could register. I am supposed to do it on Wednesday, but hopefully it won't be a problem.

Raining again.
