A male Baltimore Oriole came to the jelly feeder yesterday. Maybe we'll get a pair nesting nearby since I've now seen a male and a female.

Figured out what was wrong with my tablet...it was at 0% battery. Not sure how that happened though, because I charge it every Sunday and a charge lasts a week. But glad to know I don't need a new tablet.

Also figured out what the issue was wrong with Chuck & Don's website and helped them figure out a fix. Yes, me, the customer. You'd think they would have at least given me a free bag of dog food as a thanks. Like seriously, I missed my calling as IT troubleshooter! With my nutrition and political science degrees.

Talked with middle last night. He went to a doctor, told the doctor how he was feeling mentally and what has happened in the past year. They will arrange appts with a psychiatrist and therapist for him. Yay! They did a regular blood workup too, to rule out any underlying medical issues. I am so glad he took that first step to get help. He keeps saying he doesn't think he can be helped. That's how far down he is. I don't agree with him and continue to say it is not hopeless, but it will take time to come out of that hole. He was very touched by the nice email his sister sent him too and was genuinely surprised that I said there was no hesitation on her part when I asked if she would reach out to him. I raised good children. He also created a Facebook account as a way to connect with people. And was surprised that people in his town that he knew sent friend requests. While I don't have a Facebook account, I said it was a good way to connect, because there are special interest groups there that you can't find anywhere else. And he is back to applying for jobs in the IT/programming field. He said he worked too hard to get his masters in math to give it up to stock groceries. I support whatever he chooses to do as long as it is an honest job. And I again offered a room at my house if he wanted to expand his search.

As for work, that really complicated project from last week is NOT done. Two other departments fucked up and there was no way I could have known. I shouldn't have to double check and micro check and manage other departments. Just do your job correctly the first time! Is that too much to ask? I don't think that is too much to ask. And then, when I started redoing the first of 6 that have to be redone, the one dept that always f***s up STILL had not corrected their mistake correctly!!! I'm not perfect but I don't make a mistake when I'm fixing a mistake. I make absolutely certain I did the fix correctly. Apparently I am alone in that thinking.

Walked to the grocery after dinner to pick up some more GF bread. They had two loaves and I bought them both. I like being able to walk to the grocery, it's only 1.2 miles one way. They'll be redoing the road and sidewalk in 2028 which I am looking forward to, because right now there are places where the sidewalk is on the road without even a curb.

Have I mentioned that I have slept well all week? I have. It feels good.

43F this morning but sunny.
