Rhonda Bracey: At Random

I arrived in Brisbane from Dallas on time, and then my flight to Perth left and arrived on time. My bags came through fine, and my DH was waiting at the airport for me to drive me home.

After unpacking, I had to shutdown and bench the server as it had been running loud pretty much the whole time I was away, said my DH. It was definitely louder than usual. Once I had it open on the bench, I saw that the front intake air panel was covered in dust, so I spent the next 30+ minutes cleaning it thoroughly — when I restarted it, it purred along without the loud fan noise, so dust was the culprit. I really didn’t need that task right then as I was tired and hot, but it’s done and I don’t have to worry about that excessive noise any more.

We went out to a local Chinese restaurant for dinner, then I tried to watch an hour of TV, but completely missed the program as I kept drifting off to sleep 😉 I went to bed at 9:30, woke at 2:30 am, drifted in and out of sleep until 5:15 am, when I got up. Hopefully, the jet lag will be minimal…

Today will be spent catching up on the last two weeks’ worth of mail, entering receipts and statements, paying bills, doing grocery shopping, unpacking all my sewing stuff etc. I start work again tomorrow. And life will go back to normal.
