Kiss My Knits!

I still can’t access my new mail without jumping through flaming hoops on my husband’s Linux box. It seems that if you have more than 8000 e-mails in your inbox, that’s a bad thing. Go figure. Also, apparently when I delete messages, they don’t actually delete, they just sit on the server in some kind of e-mail limbo. This is even when I actually log onto the server itself and delete them. So I’ve quit the Freecycle Yahoo group, which would send in 30+ at a time, and also turned off e-mail notification of comments from LJ.

Further, my Mac will not access tvini.com or booboomonkey.com to make changes. So even though I have pictures I’d like to share, I can’t, because I can’t upload them. I’m not using Flickr, I’ve got a perfectly good website of my own and I should be able to use it, darn it!

All in all, a bad computer day thus far.

I didn’t receive any e-mail sent after 6am this morning, and am still having some trouble with this. This means that I didn’t get the note that Emily’s teacher sent until just now.

Today after school, Emily told me, “I got a green! Even though it’s not marked in my planner, I got a green. If you call (teacher), she’ll say that I got a green, not a yellow.” After yesterday’s debacle, I was inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt, so we went to Starbucks and tra-la-la’ed along our merry way.

Except that her teacher says she got a yellow.

I don’t know if Emily genuinely thinks that if it’s not otherwise specified in her planner, she got a green, or whether she saw what she could get away with. She didn’t seem like she was faking it.

Le sigh. Time for bed. Tomorrow is another day.
