Caden has been spitting up quite a lot lately. We're trying not to worry about it, but sometimes he's like a fountain. Everything I've read says this about spitting up: Babies spit up. It's what they do. All the time. Sometimes a lot. Don't worry about it.
The wireless internet people say that last Thursday, they realigned the tower my antenna is pointed at, and that they have to come out and realign my antenna to match. They were supposed to call me today about that, but no call yet. I should call them now, I think.
I have called them, and they'll be calling me back in 30 minutes. We shall see.
So what else is there? Bridget's plugged duct situation seems to have cleared itself up, which is good. She's getting tired, though. The waking up at all hours is catching up with her, I think. I'm not sure what I can do about that. I'll have to do some cleaning up tonight or something.

Long Easter weekend. Bridget has been experiencing boob pain, which she is attributing to a "plugged milk duct." She's been taking all published steps to make this apparently common condition go away - but it's still there. I'm at work, and we're waiting for a call back from the boob health people at the hospital.
My wonderful, magical fixed wireless internet at home is all screwed up. For some reason, I'm getting speeds that are less than dialup. Tim, across the street, is not having this problem. About 75% of my outbound pings are fine, 20% are high (in the several hundreds of ms range) and the rest are dropped. Not sure what the deal with that is, but I'm leaning on DLS to get it taken care of. They say right on their site that they guarantee 256Kbps, so I'm expecting them to give me a refund for these slow days. Otherwise, what good is the guarantee?
They claim that the tower is saturated with traffic, and that they're working on upgrading it this week. Whatever - this came on all of a sudden, and like I said, my neighbor doesn't have any problems! I do hope that once it's all fixed that I'll be getting the screaming 10mb speeds, though.
The thing that pisses me off most is that Bridget is at home, in pain, by herself with Caden, and can't even enjoy being online.
Here's another interesting technical thing. It looks as though someone else in my neighborhood has implemented a WLAN, because I can just about connect to it from my house. And it's not even encrypted. I may have to check it out this weekend.
