Now I Know What It Feels Like When A Jackhammer Is Used Indoors – Remodeling the bathroom didn’t go quite as planned. Part of it was some “interesting” choices made by the builder during construction. I don’t know all the details, except it required the contractor and his partner using a jackhammer. I’ve also found having two people working in your house from morning to night is not conducive to the restfulness of Ward Manor. Saying nothing of what it does to my routines. And I’m a creature of my routines. Still, the new bathroom looks pretty damn awesome, and MIL is very happy.

Old Florida Christmas – The Wife and I enjoyed the annual Old Florida Christmas event at Manatee Historic Village. There didn’t seem to be the same amount of vendors there, but we did find a few things there. Besides, it’s a special place for us. A couple of the buildings suffered enough damage from Milton that we couldn’t go in. One of which was the church we got married.

I Am Stupid and Opened My Mouth – My counterparts across the country were commiserating we have not had an in-person meetup in a while. I was stupid enough to joke that they should come to Florida to escape the cold. Guess who suddenly found himself in charge of organizing and facilitating said meeting? Ah well, at least I have friends who can help me since I know nothing about the official process.

OneDrive Shenanigans – I use a rather large Excel workbook to keep track of songs I’ve used for Metal Tuesdays as well as the anime I’ve recommended. I keep it on OneDrive for autosave purposes. Somehow, Excel on my iPad managed to replace all of the data with a blank workbook. Needless to say, I was a bit miffed. Actually, there were curses and oaths to gods above and below. I have over 500 songs on the “backlog” to use and probably 20 or so anime series. Reconstructing that would be a huge PITA. Checking the version history in Excel on both the iPad and my laptop were no-go’s. Feck. Then, The Brother helpfully suggested to check the version history on the web version of Office. Well, damn if that didn’t work.

And no, I don’t really want to hear about the shortcomings of OneDrive. I know it’s shortcomings. I’ve also dealt with files being eaten by a hard drive, Dropbox, Scrivener, and a bunch of other programs. Shit happens, and it’s happened a lot less with OneDrive.
