Balance Returns

This has been Recovery Week. After ten days or so of annoyances and frustrations, we are moving into balance.

I took a notion to install a new OS. Pretty brave, given that I've always been the girl who calls a guy *s But it's just a disk, after all. How hard could it be?

Turns out, one is meant to install additional RAM, when upgrading the OS. I was unaware. My sluggish, unhappy computer made instant complaints.

A mountaintop in the forest isn't the best place to find computer stuff. After the wrong thing had been purchased and returned, it was a week's wait for memory. Sigh.

Meanwhile, my site disappeared. More fun with computers, phone, and other gadgets.

Somewhere in there, I decided to order more cable television channels for the little one. She's already memorized everything on PBS, and we're looking forward to another long cold season. I thought she might like different kinds of children's programming. Along the way, I learned that our current company does, indeed, offer cable high-speed internet connectivity. So I ordered that, too.

My site reappeared yesterday. Felicidades.

Also yesterday, high-speed internet connectivity appeared.

Today, the long-awaited RAM.

Three definitive cheers.

My computer is still buggy as hell. I long for the days when I could call a geek, make a fabulous dinner, and have a perfect machine in exchange. Ah well.

Things don't always work or blend as we'd like.

Balance returns.
