This morning, the main thing I did was to hook the new cable back through the whole route that the old one went. It was twice as hard getting it through the hole as it was getting the old one out. I hooked one end to Andrea's computer and then had to go through her cramped closet into the cramped room behind it and then through the tiny door into the attic space adjacent to the wall where her bed is against. I had to step on only the studs running along the floor because everything inbetween was insulation and I'd fall through. Not fun. So once I tip-toed to the other end, I had to squat and try to fit the cable through the hole in the wall. Let me tell you, trying for a while to push the end of a cable through a hole that seems too small while squatting on a narrow piece of wood in a hot, dark attic isn't my idea of fun. I finally got it through enough and crawled out and went to the hole on the other side and pulled it the rest of the way through. I wasn't about to get out of there only to go back in, so I made sure I pushed it through enough before I went out.
I grabbed it and pulled it to the hole in the floor that went into the den via its ceiling. Guess what? I had a much harder time getting it through that hole. I finally had to get the drill out and make it bigger, though that proved harder than it sounds. But I got it through and connected it to the hub and now she has the internet upstairs for the first time. Yay!

Then Nick from work called to confirm our trip to finally see "Anger Management" and asked me which showing I wanted to see. I suggested the 5:10 one. My sister, Catie, had some film she wanted developed, so I took it to Wal-Mart since I had to go there and ask Chris or Phil directions again. Chris told me it was on Barger, but then you have to turn right on Irwin and it's almost to the end. I followed what he told me and, sure enough, there was Scott's house! I knocked on the door and a lady answered and said that he wasn't home, but she gave me his number. She's his mom, and she had a little girl with her and she said she's his daughter. She said Scott is a logger and wouldn't be home until later. I went to Phil's house 2 doors down and he wasn't home, either. Then I went back home, in defeat again.

At 5, I remembered that I had a "date" with Nick so I rushed out, despite my mom grudgingly agreeing to let me, even though I hadn't done any chores today, and I got to the mall at 5:17. He was waiting outside. We got our tickets and only missed barely any of the beginning. It was a funny movie, but not as good as I was expecting.

On my way home, I decided to stop by Scott's again to see if he was home. I got there and his mom came out and said that he wasn't. He had come and gone many times since I checked. She took my name and number and I was about to leave when he pulled in. I quickly told him who I was and he knew me from what Phil told him. He basically said he can do it in 2 days but it would have to be weekend and he'd give me rides to and from work if he wasn't working at the time. He also suggested staying with automatic since it would be a lot more work and money to make mine manual. He said he'd call me tomorrow and we can set up a time. He'll be doing it in his shop but he has to go get it cleaned up first. So, at least I found him.
