Thanks to my sister...

She bought me a new cord for my poor old

laptop

so I was able to take the giant clip down

and plug my laptop in.

Now, I can move my laptop all over the place

and not have to worry that it will shut itself down.

She also got me started on the wonderful weight loss
and increased energy shakes that I cannot
go without...

Thank you Lori...you are so very sweet...

and you have saved my poor neck and shoulders,
not to mention my cholesterol, blood pressure and
general overall health:)

My poor computer

If you look at the top right hand corner of the computer...

you'll see I have a giant clip attached to the edge...

the clip is keeping the cord in place...

otherwise..

my poor computer just shuts itself down.

I guess it's the cord...but who knows for sure????

It is a 'hand me down' and it's had it's 'issues'

but...in spite of the missing keys...

being on the third cord...

the bugs and viruses I've had to clear off...

it has done me well.

I do think I need to begin thinking seriously about getting a new one...

but I've been looking at battery packs and cords on eBay instead.

I'm surprised at how cheap they are...for brand new ...still in the package...

cords.

Maybe I'll go that route instead??

Taking another Little Break

I've been having computer problems again....I keep transferring

all my pictures and Photoshop brushes...documents and the such...

to a second zip drive...

just 'waiting'..

I find this makes me very nervous.

I haven't made anything near what I need to buy a new computer,

so I have to try to keep this one

up and running as long as I can.

So...since this is a really slow time in my business,
I'm having my friend see what they can do to clean my computer

to try to get me by until I can finally give it the 'rest' it needs.

In the meantime...I'm hoping I can get my studio

put back together...

even if I can't work in it until the weather warms up.

It has BEEN a Week!!

Oh my goodness....it has BEEN another one of 'those' weeks!

I 'long' for the day when I can afford to buy a new computer...

I think my poor thing is on it's last 'leg'.

I try very hard to keep it 'cleaned up' so that it doesn't just crash on me

before that day...but it needs to come sooner than later.

So my computer was down for part of the week...and then I had a family

emergency that took me out of town for a bit.

Like I said...it has BEEN a week...one of those that I won't mind

putting behind me.

In the meantime...since I really do need to work up the funds for a computer

on top of my regular bills....I'm having several different

'Sales' in the Shop,

going on at the same time.

The painting sale ends tomorrow...while others will end on Friday and

others on Saturday.
