The continuing voyage of Spaceship Midnight

Another Rainy day coming, Took the std STB to the UPS Store to send back to Verizon. People there were very nice and talkative. Then went to the dollar store for plastic plates for midnight's breakfast. He prefers plastic rather than paper. Slightly spoiled cat. He still wakes up at 5:30 to announce he is desperate for food (like he hasn't eaten in days) I trained him to wake my wife and leave me alone. So anyhow the dollar store didn't have the right kind so I went to Giant and they had it. Stopped by the bank for one of their big calendars, they are not in yet. Hate to change banks just because they haven't got the right calendar.
Threw out a couple hundred 5 1/4 inch floppy disks today. They were heavy. Had some really good programs on them from 1980's and 90's. Wordstar and Lotus - months it took me to learn them and out with the trash. I guess in 20 years, MS Office will be old hat also. I have been sorting thru the mass of 3 1/2 inch disc I have also. I hope to have that done soon. I need an external reader for them. Well Captain Midnight just walked by and gave me a look like he wanted to be petted or he wanted a treat.
My daughter found a cheap fare to Argentina yesterday so we now have a definite date for her departure, not sure how I feel about that, I'm happy that she is going and sad that she is leaving.
Midnight has still not use to her being here. He walks by her and gives her strange looks like "who are you" and why are you here. He is very set in his ways, kinda like me.

It looks like we have the same feelings about me leaving - a mixture of emotions. Thanks to Skype and email, I know we'll be able to keep in touch.

I bet Midnight wishes I were leaving December 28th instead of February 28th. ;)
