It is 7:45 p.m. as I write this. <\/p>\n

I started my work day about 7:45 a.m. There is a meeting which requires a prototype and I’m on deadline today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n

But, midmorning, I needed to reboot my computer. I didn’t notice the little “Update” icon. I have my computer set to accept Operating System and mission critical work software (all Microsoft) updates automatically. Typically these happen at night as I don’t usually reboot during the day.<\/p>\n

After taking Bear out for a short break during the reboot, I returned to see this:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I knew it was going to be awhile. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So, I cleaned the refrigerator. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And I made peanut butter.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Before cleaning the blender, I made a green smoothie so that all the peanut butter residue went in the smoothie: peanut butter, pineapple, kale, flax seeds and flax seed oil, vanilla protein powder and a Meyer lemon! <\/p>\n

Sound unappetizing ??? <\/p>\n

Well, it was good and I called it lunch.<\/p>\n

The update…it was still going.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I checked on Bob who was enjoying the sauna-like air from the dryer vent.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bear snoozed in the sunroom.<\/p>\n

The update finally finished.<\/p>\n

An unexpected delay in the middle of a day with a deadline, but the sun was shining and the day went smoothly from there, even if it went long.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And I have a clean refrigerator.<\/p>\n

And fresh peanut butter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
