I am a dedicated list-maker. To Do lists, appointments, grocery lists and others keep me organized. Because of my computer’s recent down time, I have (re)discovered another handy use for lists. I had been keeping all of the zip files I downloaded in a folder on my hard drive, but when the drive needed to be reformatted, those files vanished. I have backups stored online, so I’m not too concerned about getting them back.
We moved into our home November 15. 2007. What a year it’s been! We celebrated with our next door neighbors, who moved in at the same time we did with a dinner Saturday. We signed a one year contract for our internet service provider (who was, at the time, the only one in the area) because internet access is essential. The rates were fairly reasonable, but the service was not as dependable as I hoped for. So, when the contract expired, we found a new ISP. The new one costs less, service is much better, and there is no long term contract required. Despite a glitch over the weekend that has been resolved, I am happy with the new ISP.
Ah, November! So much is happening this month:
November 2: Back to Standard Time for most of the US. Did you set your clocks back?
November 3: My stepdaughter’s birthday
November 4: Election Day in the US, and our tenth wedding anniversary (and the anniversary of 13 years together…pretty nice being able to have two anniversaries in one.)
November 11: Veteran’s Day…Remember to thank a veteran for his/her service.
November 15: The first anniversary of owning our home.
November 27: Thanksgiving Day in the US.
And the countdown to Christmas begins . . .
