   the upgrade script didn't think of this
Tuesday, September 19 2017
This morning before the remote workday, I drove out to 9W mostly just to drop off the stupid Verizon DSL router at the UPS Store (according to huge signs in the window, they do 3D printing now). First, though, I returned that extra lockset at Home Depot. Somewhere in there, I also bought some tea and Ritz Crackers at ShopRite. In her illness, Gretchen has had a number of odd hankerings, including for an unseasoned hospital baked potato and Ritz Crackers. [Later she would develop an inexplicable craving for iceberg lettuce.] Naturally, I found a reason to swing by the Tibetan Center thrift store on the way home (I arrived just as it opened at 10:00am), but I found nothing there I wanted.
Gretchen was out walking the dogs up and down the Farm Road when I returned. Today she would be feeling her best yet since returning from the hospital doing things like washing dishes and even doing laundry.
At some point Susan and David came by, Gretchen's first guests since hospitalization. They sat around on her bed chit-chatting mostly about the indignities of her illness, including the shitting of hard little pellets marbled with both white and forest green. I'd show up periodically, always in the boxer shorts that served as my only trousers after I got back from my morning retail errands.
[REDACTED]
Today in the remote workplace, I mostly did last-minute fixes to issues related to the online store. [REDACTED]

I stayed up late tonight so I could upgrade PHP on The Organization's main web server. Naturally, shit was fucked and the upgrade rendered most of the sites incapble of communicating with their databases. But I did a little Googling and found out that I needed to set the location of mysql.sock in php.ini. Why the fuck didn't the upgrade script think of this?
