What a day that was

Yesterday - Thursday that is - I spend all day and most of the night working on the design of a power supply. Eventually I uploaded the manufacturing files for the printed circuits only slightly before it started to get light in the morning - and now the tracking page tells me that they have been sent, so should be delivered by courier on Monday. In theory the prototypes should be wporking by Wednesday.
I had hoped to partly catch up on my sleep this morning, but had limited success. The credit card bill arrived, and Hibernia opened it and found another fraudulent transaction, for more money, than the one that the fraud department had contacted me about a couple of days ago. Nothing would do but that I get up and phone the fraud department instanter.
After ordering parts (to arrive on Monday) for the prototype power supplies (output: 11V, input: 11.5V to 60V) we scrapped the 20 year old diesel Peugeot, which has been a low cost second car for ages. Now it needs a significant repair to continue working for much longer, so we scrapped it just before the tax, MOT, and insurance become out of date.
Now I have to upgrade an item of embedded software, written in C, and find I need to learn about the use of pointers first. I'm too tired to fully understand the details of coding. As long as it works before the end of Monday...
