It was Taylor's turn

It was Taylor's turn to stay home sick today. Dustin was back at school again. After dinner I bounced on the tramp with Dustin. When we were done jumping I invited Taylor to come lay there with us. As the sky gradually got darker we counted the stars as they came out. It was a nice way to end the day.

I've been tired again today. Don't feel like I have much energy. I'll be substitute teaching the next two days, and then two days next week. I think that's got me a bit down. I wish I knew why, but I'm just not looking forward to it. And I'm just subbing. It makes me realize how much I enjoy what I'm doing this year.

There were two challenges today. One was to get a modem working. I'm trying to get a faster modem on the line that we call in to the hangar on to get our e-mail. Right now it's a 14.4K modem--not very fast. But it does the job. I have a 56K modem we could use, but there are a couple families that can't connect with the faster modem. It's a mystery to me why that happens. Anyway, in trying to get one of the modems working last night, I ended up not being able to connect at all, even with the old, slower modem back in place. So first thing this morning I had to get that straightened out. Nobody likes to be without their e-mail. The other thing was a PC that wouldn't print. With a little help from Bruce I was able to add an input/output card and have a second parallel port on the box. Our accountant is happily printing again.
