Day 21,447

It is Sunday morning, June 5, and I’m relaxing a little bit on this drizzly morning. Lisa is getting ready to head into town to do a little shopping. I’ve got some work stuff to focus on, and maybe some gaming this afternoon with friends.

Dealing with an irritating situation at the moment – my Alienware M15 R6 doesn’t appear to be taking a charge. I’ve got the thing plugged in, the icon in the lower right shows it’s plugged in, but the battery charge just slowly dwindles. I left it sitting on the charger last night, expecting to see it at 100% this morning, and I am a bit disappointed to see the charge sitting at 62%. I’ll get it back on power a little later. Some mystery needs to be solved, and I’m wondering if a power reset might be called for.

Tomorrow I start a four-day class for a private customer. It will be a small class, so I’ll be going solo for four days. The following week I will be able to enjoy a week of internal sessions focused on making me a better instructor. After that, it’s closing out the year with two straight weeks of cloud solutions architecture and a couple of down days to make sure all of my ducks are in a row.

Settling in now to watch Wales v Ukraine in a European qualifiers UEFA playoff. It would kind of suck to be anybody playing against Ukraine now in a sporting event, because of the sentiments of support directed towards the Ukraine team. I’ve got nothing against Wales, but certainly, the Ukraine team has earned a soft spot in the heart of many sports fans.

Wow… that yellow card came out quick.

OK, time for my to focus on the tasks at hand, and get this unit back on the charger. I’m wondering if I get it down to 3% or so if that will help in tracking down the source of my charging problem.

I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.

Peace y’all.
