Subject: RE: How did you cope without Mudcat
Burned a bunch of data onto CDs to clear off some space on my 40 gig hard drive. (Well, most of it was already backed up, but now the entire archive of a large client who hasn't spent any money with me for 6 months isn't cluttering up the drive and is all together on current archive CDs.)

Listened to a bunch of new music CDs I bought at a yardsale, as well as some I've been given recently and haven't had time to listen to.

Made a bunch of phone calls, trying to line up some stuff for Tom, who is back to work and unable to do them himself.

Cleaned out another pile of shhhhhhhh-stuff from around Tom's (almost empty) file cabinet. Threw a bunch of stuff out.

Filled the deck pots finally with dirt and, in between rain showers and hoards of hovering mosquitoes, got the nasturtiums planted as well as the first pot of salad greens. (I keep two pots alternating all summer.) Now all I have to get is a couple tomato plants. (Then Tom will rebuild the deck and I'll have to move everything.)

Oh, and while I was fighting off mosquitoes, I lopped off a bunch of small brush that's sprung up on the bank and did major surgery on the lower branches of a couple small evergreens that were encroaching on my flower bed.

And cleaned up some e-mail and did some other computer housekeeping. And emptied and filled the dishwasher. And applied for a couple jobs.

Other than that, didn't do anything except wait around for Mudcat to be back up.
