Thursday

Heh, just now saw a pair of house finches come to drink at the bird dish.

Warm, hazy sun. 90 degrees (32.2 Celsius). Mr. N is back from Miami and is working from home today. Got car inspected yesterday -- took along Olive Kitteridge to read but as it turned out the wait wasn't too long. There was another customer doing the same thing (reading), except she was using a Kindle.

I'm going to do some asking around. Maybe at Springboard. At the time, I thought the software must be fine and I must be the problem, and I haven't wanted to pay good money to go through the same pain again. But learning that others had the same issues really helped me see that in fact it was Quicken that sucked.

I went looking at the reviews for Quickbooks for Mac, though, and ... it gave me serious pause. Although a lot of the issues people were having with it were issues that wouldn't apply to me, as they had to do with payroll functions and importing things from Windows machines.

Whatever I do, I have to get my new LaCie backup drive finally up and running first. I'm afraid to install anything new on my crashy current drive, which is fine -- just as long as I don't let it go into sleep mode, or turn it off.
