Oatmeal for breakfast. A productive day at home: Put dishes away. Did research on patellofemoral pain. Mended some jeans. Took out the trash. Scanned in the pattern on the box that held some Mirro aluminum food molds that Tina and Daniel gave us for Christmas in 2001. The box has a really cool pattern from the mid-20th century so I decided to scan the pattern and throw the box away. The box had gotten damaged—some laundry detergent leaked onto it. The Lexmark 5700 I've had for years and years just would not work anymore—had something to do with the ink getting clogged up and though I spent an hour cleaning it I couldn't get it to work, so out it goes. I was tired of Lexmark anyhow after the fiasco I had with the Optra Color 45 that I bought at work. (Their web site claimed the printer could handle borderless printing which their tech support later told me was a mistake.) Lunch at home with Patrick: leftover chow mein. Bought USB 2.0 cables online (one 10-foot and one 15-foot) in anticipation for getting a new printer. Added some padding to my dress shoes which had been digging into my heel. Tested them out—seem to be fine. Made Patrick's mellow mix cd so he could take it with him to the Jamie's party tonight. (I'm sitting out this one.) Repotted my plant from work because it had been growing too big so I split it up into 4 separate plants. Repotted 2 orchids which hadn't been growing well since their last repottings. Potted a new baby orchid from one of the adult plants. Shopped for a new printer. Dinner at home by myself: mac and cheese. Shopped online for a wedding gift for Don and Jenna. Worked on frankfarm.com.
