Another day older...

I really didn't accomplish too much today.  I did find my USB PCCard, finally.  It was actually in the laptop case, but it was in a pocket that I hadn't checked.  Stupid.  So I figured out that the mapping software is working properly, the GPS unit is working properly, and I can have my portable hard drive hooked up at the same time as the GPS unit.  So, everything should go along fairly well for the trip, assuming I can get everything physically set up in a reasonable sort of way.

I got a fair amount of cleaning and sorting done upstairs, and I brought most of my stuff in from the back of the car and got it sorted out.  Tomorrow, I'm going to take the girlfriend's car down to the dealership where she bought it and get the oil changed, and on the way I'm going to stop at Recycled Books and see what they might want out of the collection.  Then on the way back from the dealership, I'm going to stop at Half-Price Books and see what stuff they might be willing to buy out of the mess.  Hopefully I'll make a little extra money out of the whole thing.

This evening, I spent most of the money that I'd made at Recycled the other day.  The girlfriend asked if I could go out and buy some ice cream, as well as a few other things that we wanted to get for the trip.  But, on the plus side, the girlfriend's mom gave her some money to use on the trip, so we can do some of the stuff that we might not have been able to if we had to just use the very limited funds at our disposal.  So, it might be a pretty decent vacation after all.  Not that I'm not still stressed about shit, but such is life.

For now, off to bed with me...
