Breakfast:<\/strong> Coffee and unraveling an IT tangle<\/em><\/p>\n

If you own a business and your internet\/e-mail\/website was set up by one of your employees, you might want to be sure you have the necessary information (service provider, user name, password, etc.) filed away in a safe place. Should that person leave your employ for any reason, it will undoubtedly save you some time — and possibly expense — later on.<\/p>\n

This happened to an associate, who asked if I could help. I did.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t a hard problem to fix really, just a matter of finding the right password, finding the control panel on the web host to change a couple of things, and set up e-mail forwarding on the departed employee’s account so that clients who had his address on file wouldn’t be left lingering on the server until his mailbox was full. Still, those are things that any business owner should have in his or her possession.<\/p>\n

Seems like a no-brainer, but many people just don’t want to think about how this stuff works.<\/p>\n

Lunch:<\/strong> Carrot soup!<\/em><\/p>\n

(Disclaimer: I’m a “pinch of this” and “some of that” cook… all measurements are approximate.)<\/p>\n

2.5 C chicken broth, 2 C chopped carrots, a small chopped onion, teaspoon of curry and a pat of butter; simmer about 20 minutes until the carrots are soft. Puree in blender; add a little milk. It should probably be about a cup, but I didn’t have that much on hand… “some” will do. A dash of salt and pepper to taste, and a little sprinkle of cilantro.<\/p>\n

It’s low fat, low calorie, low cost, and high in the “warm food on a cold day” factor.<\/p>\n

Reading about Daco’s success<\/a> in the first ten days of the new year made me feel plumb guilty about my eating habits… I need to drink more water, less coffee, eat more colorful things (carrots, broccoli, squash) and fewer white things (potatoes, pasta, bagels). Most of all, I need to go back to my weight training, just in case it ever snows for real and there might be skiing opportunities.<\/p>\n

Afternoon snack:<\/strong> finish caulking around the new tile, buy some stain and marble wax. Maybe some brownies for the kids, depending on how enthusiastically they tackle their homework.<\/p>\n

Supper:<\/strong> Spaghetti!! <\/em>That doesn’t count as “white food,” BTW — it’s whole wheat pasta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
