“The RoseBouquet”

This is going to be one Busy, BUSY week! I’m trying to cram as much as I can into yesterday and today, because I have promised to help with some major cleaning and decorating downstairs tomorrow in the WTM basement.

Remember I was to get my new furnace last week? Well they called on Thursday and asked if they could change that to this week Thursday and Friday. Apparently I only need to be there to let them into the house in the morning, and they will manage (though I do want to take some photos). On the Thursday morning I have an appointment for an oil change on my car (another coupon freebie). On the Friday morning I’m going to go pick up Aunt Jean at the airport. I am trying to keep Saturday and Sunday free to spend with her, and my brother Tom.

Incidentally, I’m working at the office here right now.

Yesterday, I wanted to set up my email system so that I could somehow deal with some of them here, and also at home. By God’s grace, I picked up the booklet that was left for me here when the internet router and lines were set up in January. I had not really got around to studying it in any depth. As I went through it, lo and behold, I found out that there is a URL online where I can login and manage my network of computers! I’d thought I’d have to learn how to do that yet, and it is already done! Wow!

I can also do a remote access to these computers from mine at home by logging in with the right password. As long as I leave the computer with the emails running here, and I’ve set up “file sharing” then I can access whatever I want on this computer from my home computer! This is an answer to prayer!

I still have some more fine-tuning to do, and need to set up programs, and put files in place. Three computers don’t want to allow me to load my backup CD from home, so I still have to resolve that matter. I want to make an inventory of used parts and clean them up, and perhaps take them to be sold for me on consignment.

I also would like to decorate the office a bit. A nice frame picture or two of azaleas or roses? Maybe some nice posters and mottos too.

Of course, I dare not leave to last the final planning of my seminar and the four-month course curriculum! If I can afford it, I will even place some ads. I’ve been going through my birthday gifts pretty fast, but maybe there will be enough left over after bills are paid.

If you’d like to do me a favour, would you pray that just the right people will come for the seminar and also to sign up as full-time students to start on Sept. 2? So much hangs on that!
