Oh Happy Day

Well, I finally have an internet connection at home. High-speed, to boot. I'm so happy. (It's amazing the little things in life that makes us happy, isn't it?) It's via a comcast (boo) cable modem (double boo) but there weren't that many options out here. Oh, well. At least I'm on-line again, without having to resort to the library or a coffee-shop.

No super changes. I've survived my first week in Portland, and I like it as much as I thought I would. Yay! I'm slowly getting my room set up - the painting is done, made some curtains, put shelves in the closet. I still need to find/make a desk and shelves, but that will come with time. The desk would be nice, though.

I also need to set up a wireless network for the house, so I can share the connection (and cost) with Stephanie. I'm hoping that will be fairly painless. Otherwise, I know a computer geek that will be getting a call! (Hello, Gary!)

I registered for classes at Portland Community College (www.pcc.edu) - I'm taking watercolor painting, HTML/Web Page Design, and a Photoshop class later this summer. Should keep me off the streets...... I also had an introduction to yoga. I liked it, and will probably try to keep going. It'd be nice to get into better shape, and yoga could help nicely. The fact that the classes are mainly women is only icing on the cake!

Well, time to head out. Ya'll take care.
