This feels so weird… I get another day with Ariel out of the house so that I can work. Brent took her out to his parents because he’s going to be helping them with a patio cover. He may grumble that my need to work makes it hard for him to get things done on his day off, but that’s how it needs to be at times like this.

I didn’t do as well as I hoped yesterday, only 600 lines. Still better than most days. We had a power out that interfered a tiny bit, not 400 lines worth, but still… it knocked the cable modem out, which I don’t strictly need for transcription, but it’s my only link to my favorite internet medical transcription resources, so lacking it can put a bit of a damper on things. It was out for more than an hour. Then at about 10:30 last night, I hit a dictation that kept hanging up on me, and rather than call it in, I called it a night.
