Abs workout. 2-egg, 2-mushroom omelet for breakfast for me (which I cooked myself!). Rice krispies for Patrick. Installed QuickCam 8.1.1 on Chris's new laptop. Installed the new hard drive for the shared office laptop which had arrived on Friday. Installed Win XP on it. Packaged the old hard drive for return to Dell. Defragged the cdrom binder. Installed Windows Updates and Office XP and about 15 required applications on the laptop. Confirmed firewall and anti-virus security. Tested the modem. Met with Susie about Web issues. Late lunch: veggie pizza slice from Segafredo. Picked up 2 donuts on the way home. Dinner at home with Patrick: roasted chicken stuffed with sage, green onions, cilantro, and garlic; mashed potatoes; broccoli with lemon; gorgonzola sage corn muffins. Copyedited all the poetry pieces and two fiction pieces for Lodestar. Read e-mail and blogs.
