Yesterday:
1) My lap top is dying a slow, painful death.  This I discovered yesterday.  When it wouldn’t turn on.  Nothing worked  
2) Then yesterday my mouse for my Mac up and squeeked it’s last squeek.  So getting on the internet or anything for that mattter wasn’t happening. 

SOOOOOO, last night I went to bed.  Early.  At 10:o0.  I just plum gave up.  I was sleepy anyway, I had worked allllll day, while I did I apartment hunted with Blessing, my oldest daughter, with the little boy I was watching, and had only gotten home around 8:30, however it bugged me that I didn’t get to blog.

TODAY:
Worked 9-4.  Appointment for myself and Zach with my Naturopathic Spiritiual Intuitive/Life Couch.  Then back to my kids home to hang out with them for awhile.  Then home to try to work.

1)  The laptop started up tonight.  But won’t allow me to get on the internet, even though it shows a wireless signal.  Not only that, a seriously important folder is missing.  God only knew where it went.  Till I searched around for, ohhhh, an hour plus.  I have no idea why but it’s in the shared area.  I think it was the shared area.  Not sure anymore.  Well, anyway.  I didn’t need the folder because it was backed up on a flash drive, but I did want the six page document I’ve been writing and rewriting for the last week.  I was able to print it off thankfully and save it back to the laptop’s hard drive, but not onto the flash drive.  But I have it at least!

2) I have another desk top but here’s the thing, it has been left in the barren waste land for months as it needs me to add the software protection thingy I bought from Microsoft.  I put it on my lap top first in August.  Went to put it on my desk top and hit a snag.  Have you ever tied to get help from Microsoft?  If you have you’ll realize that it is typically a lengthy process just to find the number.  If you find it.  So since all this snagging occurred right when I got my new Mac, I left it.  And  it hasn’t been turned on in months. 
Till today. 
Today I needed it. 
Today I sighed heavily and dove into getting the Live One Care onto it… 
Two hours later, reading through eyes that were begging for sleep, and much reading and clicking, and trying to find a product key and on and on and on I discover that they won’t let me do add my computer.  BUT they now offer a free virus protection product.  A free one!  I paid fifty bucks six months ago.  So as we speak it’s loading in the back ground.  I just checked and it’s doing it’s first scan.  Wonder what it’ll find??  Since I was on the internet for two hours unprotected…

TRIUMPH:
Tonight, I found “the missing disk”.  “The disk “I searched high and low for last week.  I do believe I mentioned this back then.  The day I created CD imprints and went to print them and even though the system showed that the entire software package is loaded, it didn’t recognize the printer.  After much fiddling with it I decided to uninstall and reinstall.  Wellllll, that’s when the search began.  A search I thought would take all of a minute, because I have a box specific to my computer software things.  However it wasn’t in there.  I would have sworn on a stack of Bibles that reached to the sky I put it in there.  But nopt, not there.  So I searched and I searched and then I just quit.  Tonight, it occured to me.  It was in the CD drawer of my old, unused desktop–the one that needs the virus softward–I popped open the drawer and viola!  There it was.  So all the tedidum of trying to get the software on to it paid off.

Night, Love ya,
Theresa Jane
